  1. One more thing, how do avid sd5s compare to the sd7s? what about shimano? Thanks Adam
  2. sounds fair, can always take em apart on put some paint on. Thanks
  3. Fairplay. any other lever's you recomment? looked at paul levers but way out of my price limit. Thanks
  4. Paint is always an option, thanks. Why would i not get enough power? long lever and if it's set up ok then surely it'd be ok?
  5. Just being vain, want something black to g with the rest of my bike. Yup, vain!
  6. Changing to v brakes on the rear of my bike now, and was wondering which calipers to go for? sd7s seem very popular, but what about shimano brakes? are the avid ultimates worth the hefty price tag? bearing in mind i don't want to have to keep buying bits and pieces for the brake as bits break Thanks Adam
  7. Mate, always always use recorded, it's not much more than standard.
  8. Sunn BFR rim ( i think) about 30mm wide not ground Marino fourplay, although for some reason the brake mount spacing is 90mm not 95mm Thanks Recon i'll need v brake booster?
  9. Thanks. So it's definalty better than your maguras? the more i hear the more convinced i become.
  10. Looking to replace my maggies with a rear vbrake setup and am wondering about 4 bolt - v brake converters. Like the heatsink ones, but he's not making any more at the moment. Neon ones look nice but are they any good? Don't really want onza ones, i've heard they break and don't have many holes for adjustability. Any recommendations? Also anyone use the paul v brake? think its called the motolite, opinions please if you've any experience of them Thanks Adam
  11. I too am considering v's for my marino fourplay would like a little more modulation for street. Any body running them on their fourplay? what after market levers are there available, can only see avid, shimano or because levers but would quite like something nice and cnced. Thanks
  12. sounds good, i'll give it a go. Thanks Ad
  13. Thanks, can't see who i'd do that on my pro 2 trials though? I see how i'd do it now. Does it not get caught as you pedal backwards though?
  14. Hi searched through the forum for a thread about making a spoke chain tensioner, couldn't seem to find one though. Any one got a tutorial or a link to one? Wouldn't mind trying it out before i shell out for a rohloff. Thanks Ad
  15. How well does the tensioner work? Does it snarl up at all when you pedal backwards? Link to make one? Nice bike too. Thanks Ad
  16. what bars did yo go for in the end chris? Trialtechs or the inspireds wasn't it?
  17. Lol, there not too much higher than the inspired's though so shouldn't be hugely different. I'll let you know
  18. You've got a contract with him for the amount the item went for at the end of the auction so he has no right to ask for more. Remind him of that and the fact that you are in the right so ebay is on side with you. If that doesn't help start a dispute if you haven't already.
  19. I've not actually been able to get out on my bike since i've had them, what with the weather and my dissertation, so i couldn't tell you. Onzaboy how are your's on the front wheel?
