Hello mate. I had the same problem. To be honest i expected more from the blue rock pads. Ive changed to try-all yellow and not really had any problems. have you tried rubbing the pads up with some sand paper? just to take the dirt out of them. If that doesnt help then i would say your just going to have to grind up more often. Oh, and make sure the pads are landing perfectly flat on the rim. Its shocking how much difference that makes.

So the piston in the lever body is stuck in and wont return? Just whip the bolt out of the lever (where the hose fits in) and disonect the hose, then push a small diameter but long length allen key through one of the holes and push the piston back out. not an ideal fix but thats what i do. goog luck.

It depends on your riding mate in my opinion. creepy crawlers are great, but have a little more rolling resistance than the echo tyre. If you just ride street and like to bunny hop sort of thing, I would go for the echo. But they are pretty shite on rocks.

Are you going straight forward or at a slight angle? I cant gap for shit forward, about 1m40. If i go slightly sideways on i can do double that.

Yeah, sounds like your screwed. Try and get a replacement hub thats splined rather than screw on. like the GU. mine was about 45 quid.

Echo lite mate. Echo team has that daft booster built in that doesn't actually do anything, just add weight, and the brake mount holes don't go all the way through, just the thickness of the booster plate so the anchor of the bolts isn't as good as it could be causing more flex. And the lite is cheaper.

I pump it up untill it feels hard enough. Bald rear Maxxis and a 99p Wilkos innertube.

Hi mate. It kinda depends on what your trying to achieve. Do you need a new rear wheel, or is purely for asthetics. And if your going for a new frame are you sure the GU le is the one you want. Dont know the specific geometery, but the GU will be a world away from your onza.(longer,lower, higher BB) Anyway. If your wanting to improve your riding, go for a new frame. If you just want your bike to be pretty, Spend the money on shiney gold bits.

Thank you mate. Bleed from the bottom as before but each cylinder separate. Sounds fun!

Hi people. Just built a replacement hose including the Monty splitter and wondered if you guys had any tips on bleeding it now theres no crossover. Thanks.

Id say check out Tartybikes aswell. Good selection to suit any budget.

Hi mate. personally. The avid bb7. Im using 185 front rotor with try-all forks. (with the reinforced steerer) not sure how strong the crown will be on your forks so go for the 165. Its an amazing brake, doddle to set up/maintain and as cheap as a wank. Not tried the new Try-all/hope but i didnt get on with old hope mono. And the formula oro that Tarty sold is abit weak.

20" or 26"? the 20" is pretty easy to find, quite often 1 on ebay. the 26" is a different story.

go for the echo id say. im using try-all rear and its shite. nice tough rim but i have to grind it way too often or the brake gets scary.

nice little vid that mate. keep at it.
