  2. hey well firstly check that the hub is the same size so that you can use your old spokes. if unsure give tartys a ring secondly if your spokes are the right size tape the rims together and swap each spoke 1 by 1 making sure that you turn the nipples the same amount of time. if your not confident just ntighten the nipples quite loosely then take it to your local bike shop and ask them to tighten the spokes and true it for you. they should charge you around a fiver. good luck mate hope this helps
  3. the bolt shouldnt snap. bolts are very strong and made ot of low carbon steel mainly so that they can flex. and well if the tpro is knackered a new frame sounds good lol. plus everyone likes a change. to be honest imm nore of a 26 inch man lol. u thort about maybe an echo lite? theyre really nice frames and not too expenive.
  4. aaaaahhhh i see all you need to do is put a space onto the 2nd hole up from the bottom and put a long bolt through. i find old bolts work well as spacers loland put the brake clamps on top of the spacers hope this helps
  5. hey erm im good with bikes. but i am terrible with computers lol sorry mate
  6. well first things first. i think your frame has adjustable mounts so that you can run either a 19 or 20 inch rim. what brakes did you have on your frame before u got ur maguras? also if you were using a vee break then you will have to remove the vee brake adaptors. by the looks of ur display picture your frame does have 4 bolt mounts so you will need them if they didnt come with them. have a look on tartys. secondly your cranks. my first thaught is that you have stripped the initial threads of your frame. this would allow the bottom bracket to rock slightly while riding but you wouldnt be able to feel it with just your hands as it will only rock when a substantial weight is put on it. there are many other things this noise could be.it could be your crank arms hitting on ur frame slightly. your bearings could also be worn in your bb. how long have you haf it? i did enineering at college and hammering into threads is a terrible idea what possesed u? silly boy. to get ur bb out pour boiling water over the bb area this should expand the alloy frame slightly and try taking bb out while frame is as hot as possible. post a picture of your brakes and your frame mounts if you can. cheers loz
  7. hey. well im loz. real name lawrence butl oz is better. i have a zoo pitbull at the moment with a pretty nice spec i live in skegness so if anyone is down around that area anytime soon ive been riding a couple of years so know some good spots so just leave a message here and well organise a rids well. basically i have built a fair few complete bikes and theres nothing i dont know how to do on a trials bike (repair wise. not too good at the old riding part) anyway if anybody needs advice on how to carry out any repairs at all just leave me a message and i will help you as best as i can and well get it sorted. i have learned most of my know how through books, the internet, my local cycle shop and tinkering (dont try this it's theexpensive way to learn but also best as you can learn rom mistakes. anyway sorry about the essay. happy riding.
