  1. Get some risers for it and loose some of the stacks, it'll ride much better. I've never ridden a mod that felt good with flat bars, they just don't bunnyhop or backhop nicely at all in my experience.
  2. Haha, I remembered something for once!

    Shush, I'm waching it later. I want a shower and I havn't got time to get my breakfast either.

    I just managed to get up to level 6, I got one extra speed point! I need a bear or a f**king great club or something worth having! A hammer, a pair of balls on a stick, a gun, anything!
  5. We kind of have half shares in next doors cat, he comes in our house all the time and comes in the garage with me and watches me working on my bikes, then goes home when he needs a shit or feeding. Much win! But no photos as he's not around right now.
  6. Get riser bars mate, flat bars are so horrid, it'll be more worthwhile than getting more flats. Have you thought about extending the bars you have now?
  7. The risk isn't in them stretching, it's in them work hardening, (or so I believe). Because they've been really tight for ages, then you release all the pressure and put it back on when you rebuild the wheel, they snap more easily because they're slightly more brittle than before. As far as I'm aware that's the case anyway.

    Anyone just watch qualifying? The Red Bulls were flying. From watching the end of Q3 though it looks like the top end of the field has levelled out now though.
  9. I fancy trying one, but I don't know anyone with one and I can't justify buying one seeing as I recently spent £150 building my perfect maggy. I just need more hold out of my Maggy, especially backwards. I've only got a 2 bolt Echo booster though on a Kot MS2 frame, so maybe I'd be better off with a bigger 4 bolt one... I'll take less bite and noise if I can get more hold, because I have bucketloads to spare.
  10. But went back to a maggy recently I believe?
  11. Just carefully drill the head of the bolts off? If you go slow they'll just pop off, then the clamp will just lift off and you can unscrew the rest of the bolts easily.
  12. I prefer rear maggy, front disc on a stock, but double disc on a Mod. Wouldn't mind trying a Vee on a smooth rim on the front though, loads of modulation, power and hold, and it's quiet.
  13. No bite, too fiddly, you need a pretty stiff frame or they'll be really mushy at the lever, they can dig you in the ankles more, the pads can wear funny if they're not set-up perfectly. Etc. EDIT: In my experience, obviously for a lot of it I'll be wrong.

    Ah well, I had a good run, can't believe I won a fight! 5 losses in a row since then, I wonder if I'll get to 20 this time. I'm just a couple of points away from level 6, but I just realised I used up all my fights last night just before I went to bed, but they were todays fights.
  15. Must just be flared/bent/mashed. Bit like your T-Lite. You could just buy some CNC mounts and have done?
  16. Tarty and Trial UK used to have them in, but I don't know who imported them. There was a lot of who-ha a while back because they apparantly disappeared and stopped responding anyones emails. Hopefully these frames come with a warrenty.
  17. Yo Matt, How old is the plastic ring? When they get old and they've been used a few times this happens, I'd replace them first, new ones make the brake so much easier to set up. If that doesn't sort it, you can either wrap tape around the slave or just file the mounts down!

    I can't tell what you mean. Trialtechs sound by far the best, they're expensive, but they're light, strong and very, very stiff.
  19. I see snail cam bolt holes.

    I'm back on the up!
  21. I take the wheel out and tyre off, and stand it upright and hold it between my knees and my left hand so it's facing foward, then use my right hand to swing the grinder downwards at it. I find this allows me to get a nice steep angle and I can swing it fast, getting the grind nice and deep.
  22. I wouldn't put anything in it at all if I were you, it doesn't really matter if you get dot 4 and 5.1 mixed up, I'd just blow through the hose, clean the rest up then bleed it through a few times.
