What bike has he got and what model of Viz bars is he looking at using? Also make sure you get the right diameter bars to fit his stem.

All the 2005 lever blades by echo are all the same pretty much... So just get the nicest looking one to you...

First start with balancing then move on to hopping the bike around. A good tuition site is TrashZen

By the way, the brake will be out in about mid-January (Full production)

Zhi bike Go there and have a look under Australia

I wasn't allowed to post the pics of it lol. (Do you want to see the Zhi crank pictures? ) He didn't say anything about the patents. It's probably that the internal component set-up is modified to meet requirements to not infringe patents and anyway the lever is abit different aswell.

Yeah that's because no one knows... but it is definetly ZHi (Yao Zhi emailed me with it about 2 weeks ago)

Zhi Rim Brake It was supposed to be a secret until it was released but it was leaked on the internet like everything else.

Who likes the new Zhi Rim Brake? I suspect it will be pretty cheap aswell... (BTW it is definetly a Zhi Rim Brake in the other thread)

Fluro green rims on the new T-Pro

Here's a pic of the new T-pro with pink rims...

Is the star nut a new one and was it inserted correctly? also did you loosen the stem screws first before tightening the top cap?

What bars and stem do you currently have?

Zoo pads work well on smooth rims in the dry, there is still a supply of Zoo pads in Australia if any one is desperate for some?

The best way I find is to get a can of degreaser, spray it around the rim, let it settle for a few minutes and then wash it of with a hose.

Either buy a new chain and shorten it so it is tight (as it will stretch as it wears in) or remove some of the links off your current chain. What chain is it?

What pads are you running? Soft or Hard? Also what condition is the rim in?

If you're going to run a grind and hard pads, make sure the pads aren't fish toeing (on an angle to the rim) as that reduces the squeak.
