    Hope Calipers?

    Yes it will fit, but you either need a frame with a +20 mount or a +20 adapter.
  2. Looking good Ad! I like that wierd little tuck tweak thing you do when you land a tap. How much does it weigh now? I'm guessing it'll be something silly.
  3. Pretty much the opposite end of Derbyshire, I'm from New Mills with is only just inside the Derbyshire border, about 20 miles from Manchester.
  4. There are only two mounting systems, theres the older style that 221PRs, T-Pros, Zona Zips use, then theres the newer flatter type which Echo Lites and most Koxxs use. http://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?produc...;category_id=82 That one should be fine, if the bolts at the back are angled instead of vertical then it will fit. EDIT: Too slow.

    Pathetic.

    I'd go spare aswell, the rozzer was clearly being an arse, I'm just saying thems the rules, either take the risk and don't cry if you get burnt, or don't ride on the road.

    Pathetic.

    Legally bikes on the road have to have bells, working brakes, reflectors, lights if riding at night and you need to have passed your cycling proficiency. If you ask me we get it incredibly easy, you can't even get away with loud cans or little number plates on motorbikes any more, and you've got everything else they want. I feel sorry for the guy getting one, but it's the risk you take, if you don't like it just push your bike everywhere, or just accept the risk and carry on.
  7. Thats way too much stuff for a 14 year old to know... I'd try that, and if it doesn't work, buy a new one/get a spare one and mend it?
  8. Skinny geek. From the pics I thought your's was an 04 Max? Not certain though.
  9. 1988 Yamaha TY250R, so much better than all this modern shite.
  10. My mate had some, they were insanely good. Dave Fannyscombe has just got one of the last sets aswell, he's in love.
  11. Where abouts in Derbyshire are you from dude? Yeh just use Tarty, they tend to be really accurate. There was a thing in the FAQ but it's a bit dated.
  12. It's a constant problem for people with CNC backings, but when I did mine I did it in a very similar way. I filed the pads to roughen them, got Daddy to shotblast the backings then glued them in in the vice and they held. I've never heard of someone trying to warrenty a set of pads because they came apart. If it does happen, just tell them how to glue them in properly.
  13. They're not bad, but there are better options now. I'd go for some Viz forks if I were you, my mate has some and they're amazing, nice and stiff but not wooden, they hardly flex but manage to still feel nice and springy.
  14. Get a hope? Just take the pads out, clean them on some kitchen roll and bed the brake in again with mud, if this doesn't work, burn the pads out, then sand them, wipe them and bed them in with bud again.
  15. I was pretty thin at that point, not six pack thin but I was getting there. (Then winter came and I failed dismally).
  16. Sounds just like me when I moved to stock, I was 5'10 and about 12 stone, best decision I ever made. You could try a longer mod frame, but I'd say just try and ride a stock if you can and try it out!
  17. Whaaattt, how come Adam? Thats mad! What about when people wear them out? Or if they already have CNC backings? I'll buy a set of refills if they bring them out, but I'm not buying new backings, my brakes good enough already.

    Iphone Headphones

    I'm rocking the white CX300s, they've been great since august when I got them, just a minor problem recently with the little rubber block coming of the cable and the two cables splitting for a couple of inches. I mended it with a staple. They've done well considoring they've been used solidly for about 9 months.

    Barf Or Baff

    Neither you peasant, it's got a TH on the end. I say say bath.
  20. From here onwards. Well I bought one of those pull-up bars that go into your door frame, it's pretty good! I'm using it on a decent wall, it does bend a bit but it works fine. Been sticking at it pretty much every workout for about a month now, added 5kg to my bench routine (4 sets of 10) already, gone from 30 to 35kg. Still a very long way to go though. I now warm up and shake down first, do the workout then stretch afterwards, works brilliantly, I havn't had an injury since I started again.
  21. I'm pretty sure if you want to get all the material out of the pads, youeither need to use the TPA a lot, or over bleed it, or just file/sand the prongs down, otherwise they'll catch the rim. It's not hard at all anway, it means you can set the slaves in closer to the rim, and you can use up all the material in the pads without having to do the TPA up and put up with a brake that rubs all the time because the pads don't return to the same spot every time. I'd go for PhatPads unless with your current rim/frame unless you need to set the slaves quite close in with new pads in plastic backings, in which case I'd get Heatsink backings, so when the pads do wear down you've still got the room to move them in.
  22. Apparantly you can use the piston from an 04 lever to solve the problem, or sand the piston down. mine does it but it's not all that bad, so I'm planning just to leave it and hope the piston slowly wears away on the bore.
  23. Hello peasant, your About Me is full of faggotary. kthxbi xxxx
