Checked with my mate who works in a body shop. Just key up the frame with a bit of wet and dry to give the primer a surface to adere to. A normal primer will do the trick. then give it a few thin coats as sed previously and allow to dry properly between each coat. once happy that the paint has hardened use the wet and dry again to smooth down the primer so your top coat will have a good finish and again something to adere to. and the same process for putting laquer back on top of your colour. hope this helps if you need any more advice just drop me a text

i take it you on about the bolt that goes in to either the lever or the cylider. if you have manages to get it disconnected then cut the end of the hose off and get the correct fitment fitted. I would reccomend going to your local bike shop as they will be able to give you some advice on what you may need to get the brake in working condition again. If my memory serves me correct you are going to need a new olive on the hose aswell. hope this helps a little bit

i wasnt on about the mod although that was dodgy was on about my old koxx levelboss that i done it to!

When i did mine i used a drill and an angle grinder. I know its a bit over the top but i just took my time. Cutting out the headtube doesnt really make any difference strength wise to the frame as all the pressure is via the heaset cups. To be honest it doesn't save that much weight but if done right can look really trick. Rob dont comment about my technique lol!!!!

is it this weekend as in sunday 15th? if it is then i maybe there

yeah should be there lets make it a good one

Give me a buzz Friday evening and I'll sort something out Whats the best way of getting hold of you Rich? And also what time are we starting/ meeting up?

please please please please please please could you find me a parking space rich. is that nice enough for you? lmao

the best way would be to run a racing cassette on the back. they have got smaller ratios as they are used for road riding. try your local bike shop for a chain they are more than likely to do a 5/6 speed chain as i was running one not that long ago

is there anywhere to park for free or is it all pay and display

yeah maybe up for this. where is the best place to meet as i am not very familiar with taunton

i may be able to come weather depending and also whether i can move my tattoo sitting about a bit

count me in

i will be there weather depending and should have my new front wheel by then

cool i will pop in tomorrow probably what time are you heading in my number is 07966338404 just give me a text

Alrite guys A few of us are riding Bristol tomorow. Will be meeting at the steps round the corner from temple meads at about 12 if anyone fancies it.

Yeah I agree with you Rob. I have a big amount of respect for these guys getting out and riding. No offence to Heath and the guys but I hope that i am still riding when I get to their age. Its good to see people getting out on the bikes for a laugh and to try a few new things rather than just getting out there for some compitition. I myself enjoy riding with them as I always have a good laugh with them and no pressure is put on anyone to do something that you don't want to do or can't do. Hope to get out and ride with you guys again soon!!

Martin Hawyes is a bike company rep down here in the south west. Quite reguallary pops into the local bike shop. Last i heard he was still riding trials but just not in the lime light so to speak

Yeah I am in if the weather is good. What day are we going for Saturday or Sunday? Maybe working Saturday morning but if need be wil take my bike to work with me and come straight in afterwards. Can someone let me know please thank you

Just a quick question. Does anyone know how much the frames are/going to be?

is this because i am on the taller side of things???? although you may be right lol

Was a good little ride. Me and matt went a little bit further towards town, not much though. Was good to see you guys again and will have to do it again when everyones health is good haha. Maybe go to a few other spots. The photos came out really well. Thanks for taking them. Ben

That was a really horrible and wet day in Gloucester but the video came out well mate. Will have to do it again in the summer or when its a bit drier.

should hopefully be able to make it weather depending. just a quick question what time is everypne getting into Bristol?

cheers for all the ideas lads. i have tried the standard springs and keep on breaking them aswell. i am going to give a couple of these ideas a shot though
