  1. Ignore them. I'd rather welcome a new member than flame them to pieces as I have seen others do. I think people are forgetting its only the chit chat section so nothing really matters as it wont really clog up the good stuff!
  2. No I think he means the metal washer system!
  3. I'm not doubting you, but I don't get how the metal washer would be better? Can you explain
  4. They look soo boring! And +90mm HAHAHAHAH!
  5. I haven't had these, but i'd recommend the trialtech's. They are tried and tested
  6. Someone said they're going to strip one out of a spare lever for me, ask someone they're bound to have a spare lying about!
  7. Will do Really I only need the piston
  8. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I really really need one as my current piston is really crappy
  9. I really need one of these kits but tarty are out so where else sells them? http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/rim_brake_spares/magura_piston_and_spring_kit/c5p10987.html Cheers Luke
  10. They're just the old red material are they not?
  11. Your awesome, you can have my babies!
  12. In a bumper bag from hsb on facebook DW pads?
  13. Cheers, was thinking about the wiki but I don't know how to put it in there.
  14. I was fitting my Heatsink refills into my TNN backings and I thought it would be nice if I made a guide to save you lot some time First of all, you'll be using a knife so don't use it if you dont feel confident or if your a complete tool. Knives are sharp So be careful and I take no responsibility if you detatch a finger or two!! Firstly what you'll need to do it Pad Refills, Backings, Stanley knife (or equivalent), Pot of water, Super glue, A file (may not be required, depends on accuracy of cut) Optional: A vice, this is seriously helpful when cutting/filing. Step 1, Mark out where you have to cut. I used version 1 as I only thought of 1A after! :$ What it should look like after marking and cutting. Step 2, Place pad into a vice if you have one. Cut a "X" into the centre section USE WATER WHEN CUTTING AS A LUBRICANT!! Step 3, cut the centre section out by holding the blade at an angle. Step 4, Cut remaining side piece by first cutting top to bottom then left to right. Step 5, The end will be fine but the middle will probably look similar to this. To ensure a good fit you'll probably have to file the middle section so it is flat. Step 6, Now the pads should be ready to fit. Use a decent amount of super glue and apply to the backings, then press the material into the backings and secure if you have a vice like so. Turn vice so it squishes a bit then remove excess glue, Undo vice so it is still firmly gripping pads but no enough to deform them. Leave it for a few hours minimum, best if you can keep it overnight. Taaa daaaaaaaa! Some fresh looking pads!
  15. Need to be more specific! Disc hubs? Double/Single wall? Freehub/fixed hub? Price range?
  16. Get some thicker wood! Have you definatley removed the end caps/covers?
  17. In most cases you really have to hit it IMO.
  18. Remove the end covers if it has any, then tap the axle out using a rubber mallet or a block of wood and a hammer. Then the bearings and axle should drop out.
