  1. I just got a GU blade lever and it really is sooo much nicer than the old 2 finger maggie. Don't replace the tpa you can stick the one you have in the new lever. the monty hose splitters are a piece of junk, they make your brake not work nearly as well... don't use one of those.
  2. Sure you can do that! I would for sure recommend running a booster otherwise you would get quite a bit of frame flex.
  3. Man! Water bleed is the way to go! I can't believe how much better it is... sure the brake pistons may wear out eventually but by then I'm sure I'll probably have something newer (or at least it will give me a good excuse to upgrade ). I was doing it pretty much right except I didn't know that both ends of the brake (lever and slave cylinder) had to be under water... I don't know what I was thinking though. Thanks Guys for the help!
  4. Hi Guys! I tried to water bleed my magura hs33's last night but totally failed and after that they won't work at all... Could someone explain to me how exactly to do it? I know that I'm doing it wrong and I want to get it right. Thanks!
  5. okay, why I wondered is because this bike is on ebay right now and the person selling it doesn't seem to know anything... I don't think I'm interested.
  6. shockingly, huh? yeah +55 bb is not so good... would you say the '05 Control would be better than this Hi-fi?
  7. Is that good? Bad? what are the thoughts on this frame?
  8. Hey guys look at the photo and tell me what year this Hifi frame is... Is this a very good frame? what are some of the specs on this? Help me please!
  9. How am I suppose to know where I like it? My bike has a 40+ bb rise if that matters any...
  10. what is the point of having a higher stem?
  11. Hey guys do I have to put a stem stacker on? what is the benefit? or what is the purpose? where would I look for one?
  12. I learned to hop backward first and then I figured out how to push the handlebars forward and jump with my calves and that kept me in the same place instead of always going back and then it wasn't hard to figure out the timing of pedalkicks! just keep practicing... it will get so that its more natural and you don't waste all of your strength in one jump:)
  13. wouldn't my LBS cost me an arm and a leg? I can sure cut the thing myself!
  14. Hey guys Thanks so much! where would you say that the star nut needs to be below the cut mark?
  15. I just got my GU stock fork in the mail last week, but there's a problem! The tube that goes up through the head tube is way way way too long! What am I going to do? Is this normal, cuz I've never built a bike before...
  16. nice guys... keep them coming...
  17. I guess I just don't see why anyone would want to ride a mod!
  18. Yeah we want to hear about it...
  19. Anyone have any trials terms that most of us might not be familiar with? Please provide a short description along with the word...
  20. I've heard the exact opposite than you! To me, I like my bike which is +40... perfect!
