Thats ok, thought it was something like that... Might just have a go!! Seb :(

forgot you wanted green too... Not sure what green you wanted but there you go. Seb PS - Rob P - I use macromedia fireworks, presum its similar to photoshop... I use the magic wand tool to select the frame area, then using colour filters change the black to what ever colour. Like this it keeps the different shades of the colour making it look more realistic. Had a little trouble with this picture, as the frame was black it selected the tyre too. I just let it change the tyre colour too, then cut the tyre from the original pic and put it on the altered one.

May have missed it somewhere, but can you submit to image attempts, as there are two image upload boxes, or is it for 2 angles of the same thing or something? Seb

Havent done it myself, but meant to be very difficult, you have to use 2 syringes, on in each caliper, otherwise you end up with bubbles in one caliper. you also need to apply equal pressure to the syringes or something. To be honest dont think its worth the hassle, nothing wrong with normal cross over... Seb

Not brill at this stuff, dont even have photoshop, but i think it looks alright :S Seb

:( :S

haha my knowledge is good then :S" Your lecturer must have continued to do this repetitive action for a long time then ?? With most things, if it hurts dont do it... If riding trials doesnt make your wrist hurt dont worry about it. Also try adjusting bars/levers may help too. Seb

Yeh ok true, but id be hoping magura made their a brake seals out of something that isnt destroyed by a substance that falls out of the sky (Y) Considering that water does get everywhere on a bike, especially xc etc Seb

The easiest way is just to bleed it with water with a bleed kit under water... 1.Fill bath 2.Submerge brake 3.Undo bleed bolts 4.Attach bleed tube, but dont bother with vent tube, no need!! 5.Fill syringe with water and put on bleed tube. 6.Bleed the brake as normal, **all underwater** 7.Do it a few times to really get rid of air. 8.Remove bleed tube and do back up bleed bolts. 9.Brake works smooooth and awesome :) 10.Remove tools and crap from bath and empty water before mummy has a go at you :P" Also if people walk in looks like youre working on a nuclear reactor or sometime (Y) Quiry about water destroying seals: Water is rather inert and wont "attack" rubber or plastic so shouldnt damage the brake at all. I would say the seals are more likely to die with WD40 or something... Only thing to watch with water is your brakes freezing in the winter (mark :)" ) And may cause rusting to some bolts/tools that have been in the bath, remember to give them a good dry maybe a squirt of DW40 too :P Seb

I was gonna post and say that it might be that... but seemed to be a load of other explainations so i didnt bother... Rsi (repetitive strain injury), to my knowledge will give you no long term effects, it is only a matter of dealing with the pain.if you wanted to carry on doing the things you want to... Pushing trolleys? Work? I did that for a year at sainsburys, best part time job ever :) (Y) got £5ph to be outside exercising. Dont think that this would cause rsi as it is a more varied movement. Riding... Only the braking i could think would be a repetitive movement, which wrist is it in? But as your moving your whole arm doing moves i shouldnt think its a problem. Typing... 99% sure that you have it from that. Do you spend a large amount of time at your computer? Using a keyboard and mouse is very repetitive and if you dont sit with particularly good posture can cause rsi and will be painful to type/write. Try to sit properly, i know its hard! Also have breaks or even do some arm stretches/exercises every now and then. I mildly started to develop it a while ago, from typing and sitting badly with my keyboard on my lap... I only ever had the pain bad when i tried to play squash... was odd. Ended up joining the gym at the same time and as soon as i started doing upperbody work this pain has gone ever since. Stronger muscles prevent injury so much more than stretching or anything else. The reason RSI hurts (these are assumptions im making, dont know for fact...) Is eithter that because of the repetitive movement it will cause that one muscle group to become fatigued causing the pain. Or more likely i think... this muscle group becomes stronger than its antagonistic pair, this puts strain on the antagonistic pair as there is an imbalance this is why i think going to the gym helped a lot. When i was younger i used to run cross county for my town and county. Ended up stopping because of a very painful shoulder which was cause by a muscle imbalance, my chest was stronger than my shoulder muscles. I was told to do these shoulder exercises to strengthen the muscles, helped loads!! This pain though was very similar to the rsi pain i had so i think its a muscle imbalance. Hope that helps a bit and gives you some stuff to try. **None of this is fact just what i think of it so might be best to consult a doctor before trying stuff :)" ** Take care Seb :P

tartybikes, use paypal and emails... Kinda online ordering (Y) Seb

Adobe Premeire takes .mov files, donno about other programs, windows based ones probably wont, as .mov is an apple mac file... Seb

Was gonna try this on the front, might work on the back, 2.3" yet sub 600g donno about grip though... Mosquito airlight

Ill be up for a ride, im in birmingham. If you go down to cov with todge i might pop down too once my glandular fever clears up :blink: Seb

My brother killed his chainring and cranks the other day. And one of his trials friends sorted out some cranks for him, as im at uni. But stupid kiddy friend has sold him some old muscleman cranks and bought a echo fixed sproket to go with it. But no bash. So... its either pay the kid and buy a echo bash or soemthing costing £35 + a bash. Or give the kid back the sproket and say you dont need it as he got the wrong thing and buy a acs front freewheel and then fix the rear hub, which is a knackered mission hub anyway. So how would i go about doing this? Can it be done without a welder? Thanks Seb

Not bad atall. Ill give you some stuff to improve on... not saying its all bad though. I prefer it when you can hear the trials too, so dont mute the sound... Seemed to be a very large file size yet not brill quality, am i right in thinking this was filmed on a digi cam that doesnt have large resolution and sound...? Fade out the song at the end, better than it just cutting out... What program did you use? Seb

Im coming (Y) try out my new tyres woo woo Seb

M951s are the old ones <03 maybe M960s are the new ones >04 I got the M960s at the beginning of 04 i think my mate has the M951 on his xc bike and well the only difference we can see is the colour finish, the M960 is a shiny grey finish like all the new XTR stuff the M951 is the same matt grey finish like the levers still are. Perfomance wise i dont think there is that much difference maybe a couple of design tweaks. Great price though, awesome brakes Seb

Michelin comp 24.1 a very nice tyre had mine for almost a year, very grippy and never got a puncture... Replaced it with a maxxis high roller this morning, will see what theyre like properly on sunday, first impressions real good though, had a quick ride out around campus in the wet didnt slip once (Y) Seb

Which model? havent heard of that one... Do you mean a platinum pro? Ive have the ultimax extreme (worst fsa isis bb) and well thats has lasted fine for coming to 2years. No trouble with play or noise, feels a little stiff now but oh well i dont notice once cranks are on. Where did you get it from, really sounds like you have a faulty one i would look into having it warrentied... just dont say you did trials (Y) The FSA platinum pro is meant to be the best isis bb available. And for square taper, the shimano UN72... Seb

There is some purple... tried to get it the same purple as the viz range. Seb

Theres gold... :ermm:

Here it is with a red front rim, wasnt sure if you wanted the hub red too, rim still a bit dark at the top to do it well and to be honest i aint great at doing this stuff anyway. and here with red stickers, looks sweet :ermm: Ill try and do gold now. Anyother colours...? Also a nice side on pic would be good, in the light with maybe the front wheel a bit turned. Could do it a lot better then. Seb

Im going sunday and i think everyone else is too :ermm: Seb

The pic in your sig doesnt really show the front wheel too well... could be photoshopped, but i cant be arsed. With a better pic then i might... :ermm:" Seb
