  1. in the words of terry tibbs, TALK TO ME! i think there made out of cheese and there better on crackers! i fitted some to a lads bike at my work the other day, used a torque wrench and that. in the time i wnt upstairs and back down it cracked! well done magura for creating the biggest pile of shite ever! bring back the old lever!
  2. welcome my friend ... your find this forum very useful im sure!
  3. i think trackstands and being able to keep your bike under control is the best thing to learn, then work from there. Just get out and ride, your pick it up .....
  4. hi just got a 24" leeson and wondered what tyres you run? thanks chris
  5. i love vids like that, cant wait for crux tom come out, will be savage
  6. hi james, sounds a bit odd. Does it seem to have comprsion when you use the kick stand. I had a sherco once that for some reason got kinda blocked - undervacum causing it not to start. I would prob take it back where you got it from .. or to a dealer though,
  7. i personally prefer risers, feel there is alot of control with them, but stme rise and length is important!
  8. correct spacing, and make sure you get the forks spot faced ... (most shops can do it) then your brake should work like a beast!
  9. yeh the TPA (red adjuster) the threads seem to go causing the lever to pull into the bar, and the brake bottoming giving sod all power. The problem i find is people can't set them up well. If people have the psitons to far away from the rim, and make the brake feel better by the tpa .. it puts to much stress on it causing it to break ... hope that makes sense
  10. hello my friend, or bonjour. it took me ages to be bothered to sign up, but really is helpful to find out trials news and information, welcome to the forum!
  11. i find bleeding your brakes with water is alot easier doing it in the sink. This way you can get shot off all the air from the system, good luck my friend
  12. my first bike was a handsomedog rockhound (more gussets than a bridge). weighed more than a sumo wressler on sterroids, but it was all gravy!
  13. i phoned fishers today .. they don't do replacement spairs of those .. you can only buy the levers as a pair to .. sorry dude
  14. that vid was the lips, really good to some someone with a no seat type bike riding street styley!
  15. take the headset apart and grease the beast up! .. it could be a number of things though, quick release skewers might need greaseing up (on the cam part) could be stem, bars .... or even your shoulders .. a good clean and lubing session will work i think
  16. this is a great combo ... middleburn - keep it british
  17. one thing i would check is to make sure the rim diameter is the same as the alex rim. Otherwise you might have to change the spokes too ......
  18. its venetd a fair ammount trying one out at the moment, so ill keep you informed
  19. you can get a load of bits from 661 (mma sports) they do a big range for motox and dh, check them out chris
  20. 661 dirt lid, 24.99 one size fits no one ... bargin
  21. those blocks are for clamping the hose what i have done is placed the cable (using the blocks) in a vice, then used a bit of mieral brake fluid to lube the insert up, then gently tapped it in. becarefull though as you could split the hose
