  1. I had the lime green 2003 gt moto, it had a 73mm shell. As for axle length, it all kinda depends what cranks ur puttin on i.e. tripple ring or single etc
  2. Hey mayb we could ride sometime. Walthamstow isnt that far away The frame is a Bt Raven 3, i dont know what length wheel base it is?? Um echo forks, bb7, maggie on the rear, high rollers, koxx/onza r wheel, try-all/echo f wheel, koxx bb, try-all bars... As for cranks, ive seen on tartys you can get echo forged arms for £52, im wondering what can you fetch 2nd hand for that sorta money though??? Thanks for the help
  3. Oh, wow up until now i have been using brass inserts and re cuttin the thread. Heli-coils sound so much easier. Do you know if you need any specific tools to fit them and how to get hold of them Thanks for the help Dan Oh yeah, i also found your column on repairing lazy magura pistons quite handy. Ive never suffered from the problem as yet but sure it will come in handy
  4. School can be quite resourceful, we used to climp onto a low roof in our play ground and help ourselves.
  5. Forgive me if i come across as a brainless monkey but what is a heli-coil?
  6. Yes i somtimes lay awake in my bed at night thinking of weird things. Its different though...
  7. Yeah it should be too much of a problem if your pally with your local Halfords As said before, by using a vice, it means you only have to more the crank arm rother than holding both sides and grating your knukles
  8. Hey there people. Ive just bought my mates stock and being new to trials i need help I ride a lot of street, i own a 24 cycles pornking with a bmx'y sorta set up. I wanted to put like an ultra short stem on the stock to retain some sorta trials feel...like 60mm 0 rise. Is this a bad idea? Will i ruin the rest of the geo? I also need to buy a set of freewheel cranks and freewheel. I run a 36 pickup eno on my street bike and its the nuts, my eyes have been opened by a try-all version ive seen for like the same price...108 engagement/9 pawl!!! Is this humanley possible? And cranks, well i know that mods and stocks inverably use different length arms but im not too sure what to look for. Im getting a koxx isis bb with it, my mate swears by it but i dont want to put a set of buttery soft cranks on a gorgeous bb... Any help/advice would be apriciated Thanks Dan
