[Bashring Or No Bashring?]

I have a pair of 165mm Try All ISIS cranks and i was wandering whether any one has ever ran a bashring on these cranks?

I know on tarty is says you shouldn't but can i get away with it?

The bashring i will use is the Neon Light Bashring.

Thanks, Jack

Tarty's know their stuff, i'd listen to them when they say you shouldn't.

[Stem For 24"]

just been having a look aroud tarty to see how much a 24" would cost built custom, but they only sell 20" and 26" stems, which would be better on a 24 ? cheers

I use 90mmx10* with trial tech high rise bars, feel great

[Last Marino Query]

Allo guys how do?

I'm in the process of ordering a Marino frame and he's asked to transfer the money either by Western Union or Interbank. What has everyone else used? I've heard good and bad things about both and don't know who to trust more? Why can't the whole world use Paypal?

Oli

i used xoom. was fine.

[Stem For Inspired 24]

90mmx10 stem with 15mm of stackers with the inspired bars

feels great

Run the same geo stem and height of stackers with the trial tech high rise bars. No problems for me

[V Pads, Toe In Or Square On?]

square on

Nice one, thanks

[V Pads, Toe In Or Square On?]

When setting up the v's on my trials bike, do i toe them in like i would my BMX or square on like my maggys? using the slim inspired pads

Thanks

[Shimano Xtr Br-M960 Brake, Front Or Rear?]

Thanks for your answers lads, going with the sd7. can get them new on chain reaction for £20 at the moment. gonna order them and some kit off tartys on friday hopefully when my bursary comes through

Thanks

Adam

[Shimano Xtr Br-M960 Brake, Front Or Rear?]

Yeah there crap plus when using metal backings and a wide rim they didn't fit.

Thanks chaps, i think i'll go for the sd7 calipers then unless i come across any ultimates on ebay. Would they be any good? Some there now but in shit condition.

Cheers

Adam

[Shimano Xtr Br-M960 Brake, Front Or Rear?]

I'd seen set on ebay, that's why i was considering them figured i'd get some thing better second hand. Does every one think they're no good? they'll be going on my marino fourplay.

Thanks

[Securing Foam Grips?]

I did run a search but couldn't find anything

So basically, anybody got tips on securing them? Mine slip about quite a lot when I ride.

They're the monty ones

Spray mount

[Shimano Xtr Br-M960 Brake, Front Or Rear?]

A new noodle only costs 50p from halfords.

Yup, pretty cheep anyway

[Shimano Xtr Br-M960 Brake, Front Or Rear?]

These are V-brake arms?

I think the difference is in the noodle thing, which is a small detail and something that shouldn't make too much of a difference.

That's sounds thanks. popping by on your bike tomorrow, i'll get them to confirm.

Thanks

[Shimano Xtr Br-M960 Brake, Front Or Rear?]

Going to bid on a shimano xtr br-m960 brake on ebay, just need to find out whether there are seperate front and rear brakes for this model or just one that works for both. Had a look online and can't seem to find much about it.

Thanks for your time

[Hope Lever Body]

Im new to hydrolic discs... so...

Heres the lever iv got already

But i need a right hand lever, will this body work? chain reaction link

Also bleeding kit needed to change? iv always jus drown the hs33 lever in water to bleed (so unsure bout this hope one).. oh and i know its oil.

cheers

Give hope a ring. They won't be able to supply you with anything (unless it's via your local stockists) but they will answer any technical questions quite happily.

[Powder Coating?]

Cheers, so what you thinking on the rest of the bike cant be much over 60 quid? the rest of the parts are quite small but there is alot of them...

Wouldn't have thought so. bare in mind anything other than black or white will cost more though

[Powder Coating?]

Hey just wondering as I've come into some money, how much is a full bike spray of powder coating? and what's the weight like on one, I'm not exactly a weight weenie but my bike already weigh's around 14.7kg, so dont really need anymore weight... and looking for some opinions on this --> thinking frame matte white, forks matte black, and so on, opposing colours every time one part meets the other, what you guys think? dont care if the colour scheme is common...

And if possible where are the reputable P/C companys and are there any near to Oxford? much appreciated

Twitch

Got my frame powder coated in white for 30 pounds. did a really good job too. shouldn't think it weighs much to be fair.

[Brake Guides For Rear Vee Brake]

It's the way the steel wire braiding that makes up the outer is arranged, either linearly, so it runs along the length of the cable and provides less resistance and is prone to less crimping and pinching the inner or standard.

Sound, thanks

so it's a good idea to use a bmx cable?

[Brake Guides For Rear Vee Brake]

Yeah that should be fine. You can get a few mm more with some vee adapters also. It's best to use the shortest cable you can if not using a linear, you will reduce the sponge that way.

Thanks

What's the difference between a linear cable and a normal cable? linear pre stretched?

Thanks

Adam

[Brake Guides For Rear Vee Brake]

I drilled my top tube and routed my cable internally for the smoothest possible route from lever to noodle. It made the lever action super smooth. Here's a pic of the routing, I'm running a magura now but you get the idea.

kk, thanks.

One more questin before i go and buy a lot of kit. My brake mount spacing is 90mm and my rear rim 30mm will i be able to install a v setup on the rear?

Thanks

adam

[Brake Guides For Rear Vee Brake]

old curtis photo

Thanks for the pic, not too clear though, any one else got another?

Panic over had a little look online (should have done before really) see how i works now

Thanks

Adam

[Brake Guides For Rear Vee Brake]

i just run one long length of primo linear slick from the lever right back to the brake noodle, fits in the same guides as my magura did and runs with no spongey lever feeling.

recon i could see a pic?

[Brake Guides For Rear Vee Brake]

I agree at the moment my cable has a sharp bend in it as it runs down the frame where it leavs and goes to the back brake and when i brake i feal the cable rubbing. Its not ideal but i put up with it.

But what you could use are some cable guides ive never used them so dont no how good they are but here is a link to them.

Recon i could see a photo of how the v brake cabling runs down to the brake> I'm a bit confused as my bmx had a specific guide at the end

Thanks

[Brake Guides For Rear Vee Brake]

Going for a rear v brake on my bike. what brake cable guides do i need on my frame? all have at the moment is two small hoops for magura lines .Would i need something to hold it all in place so its taught?

Thanks

[Topic Change, Which V Calipers?]

I love the fact that you don't know how to use google.

Of course i do, just looking for people's experience. But yes, looking on line seems to be sd7 calipers and levers is the setup.

[Topic Change, Which V Calipers?]

Hi going Vbrake on my marino fourplay. does any one know if this lever will work with avid sd7s?

Thanks

Ad

One more thing, how do avid sd5s compare to the sd7s? what about shimano?

Thanks

Adam
