Hi, Just fitted a KMC Kool chain to my ('00) T-Pro. Its driving the back wheel fine but is making a hell of a rattle. The chain looks to be sitting at a slight slope from the inside of the rear sproket? I have the straight edge of the chain to the outside and the curved side on the inside. And its tension looks good. Any ideas whats wrong? Or do they just rattle anyways? Chap

Cheers lads! Just bought KMC Kool! Hopefully get her the morro! Delighted!

Hi, Just snapped my chain. So im wanting one with a bit of quality about it, and i cant see my local halfords have one! Im looking on tarty bikes, any recomendations?? Cheers

Its a forwarder!

Haha! O well lads, just an idea! Ive got plenty of the stuff anyways since my uni course is about how to make it! Cheers for replys! Ill stick with the mineral oil the now like! Chap

I ment vodka because it wouldnt freeze like water. Was just an idea! Be nice if they burst for a change though!

The magura site has a service manual on it for all their brakes! Very handy! And free to download. Chap

Anyone ever put cheap vodka or some other alcohol in there brakes instead of oil or water? Just wondering! Chap

Haha! I see! Well if you boys are about in edinburgh on like friday afternoon or maybe sunday afternoon i might nip down to centre and take a deek about!?! Chap

Looking nice! Think i passed you boys in ma car when you were crossing from collage to bp garage? Some nice loking bikes! Well i was on ma way to get a new tyre in highland cycles for my old dog like! Chap

Would love to this weekend but heading home on firday an no back till sunday night! Although im no much use and would get shown up by you lot! haha! Perhaps next few weekends after this one though!?!? Anyone know of a decent shop in edinburgh to buy a helmet and trials bike stuff? Cheers

Just checked and realised it was free to take my bike on the train so thats cool! Well, if i dont manage this week, maybe next or next weekend-weather permitting?! And i might need to purchase a decent helmet! Chappie
