  1. its a mono so does any one know which pad i need
  2. yeah sorry forgot to mention its a front disc , and its a hope
  3. i've just had my front brake starting to squeal , with a power loss . found the pads to be worn, when looking in my local bike shops and on the net i've found 3 different types , WHAT DO I NEED ?? options seem to ben kevlar , sintered or ceramic
  4. on this subject , what is the average weight of people riding trials , i crossed paths with a guy in Leicester, he was easily gaping 6 or 7 foot, he was was built like a rugby player, had to ask his weight 16.5 stone!!!! is this normal , i couldn't believe how he threw his bike about
  5. been to view forks today they are in mint condition, only problem the steerer is cut to 125mm apparently he measured them wrong before he cut them , but he could have told me before i did a 70 mile round trip
  6. found aload of good reviews just unsure of the price i thought 80 was a little steep for these forks
  7. i know this has nothing to do with trials, but today i killed my front forks on my fr bike, need a new set, theres an ad in the local paper for a set of marzocchi drop offs 4 130mm single crown, £80 no offers , does this sound like the right price , or is it a little high, apparently mint condition , i only have an hour to get back to him , what do you think get back to me asap
  8. does anyone know how to replace bearings in a halo spin doctor front hub local cycle shop wants £40 to do it, and the hub is only £45 on the net, i can buy the bearing for a couple of quid on ebay, just didn't know if any one know the correct way before i put a hammer to it
  9. just found out they re Echo HiFi ?'s thanks
  10. that was good to hear, some of the lad i ride with, were saying it was a rip off
  11. try all rims, hope front hub , chris king classic rear, onza crank, echo lite forks, hs33 etc
  12. no for the whole bike, well most of the bike
  13. so i was probably ripped off paying 400 for the bike then , i guess
  14. but the frames look exactly the same ? what would a second hand coustellier frame be worth ???
  15. i've recently bought a coustellier st blaise frame, and found a bike on internet for sale that look exactly the same, or almost. the other bike is a zoo pitbull can any one tell me the differences in frames, and which would be the better out of the two ,
  16. stupidest thing i must have done is had rounded off the threads on my rear axle (just one side), so used PTFE tape to make the bolt grip a bit, so after riding for a while the wheel twisted so the tyre was rubbing on the frame , so stupidly i left it thinking the lugs/grip of the tyre would wear and stop catching, I DIDN'T IT ACTUALLY CUT THROUGH MY FRAME, it only took like a week to happen couldn't believe it
  17. would no one recomend changing the whole assembly
  18. i could but again the stem and bushes and worn also
  19. does anyone know of any levers (arms or complete assembly) that are compatible with hs33 06 new style, as I'm getting sick of replacing tpa on them, I've been told i should get a Altek assembly but i can't find anywhere that sells them, so what should i use and where can i buy them
  20. i've just decided to get in to trials and i have nearly completed building my bike, but just realised i have no idea what gearing i need to fit, i have built a 26" stock bike , and have a crank with a 18 tooth front sprocket, what would i need to fit to the rear ??? thanks chris
