  1. Just bought a frame to start building a bike up for myself. I understand both of how the bike works apart from the headset stuff. Could someone explain it please plus tell me what parts in need? If i buy like a headset from tartybikes does that come with all the bearings and stuff? Thanks Jack

  3. Who's going the Bike Radar Live in Donington Park on May 30th Weekend? http://live.bikeradar.com/
  4. I was thinking about that one. Thanks
  5. I want to change my rear wheel set up because I have a cassette setup and i want a single speed setup. I tried getting the cassette off but whoever put it on the wheel before I bought it didnt put it on with 40nM and is quite hard to get off so I've decided to buy a new back wheel setup but I have aquestion: What is the difference between a fixed and a free hub? If you have a fixed hub do you need a front freewheel whereas a free hub you can have a normal front sprocket is that how it works? Any other advice you have about this change I would be happy to hear Thank you

    I'm living at chester at the momment where about you ride?
  14. Thanks for your help
  15. haha true but im keep my crank for the time being. What crank tool would you say would be best to use? do you have link or something? A crank tool is different to a BB tool isnt it?
  16. Do you need any special tools to take a crank of the square taper or is it just a big wack with a hammer haha?
  17. Thanks for that. Now you say that I think I have both problems =P Both cranks move at the same time when I wobble them but one moves more that the other haha It was a second hand BB when I got the bike built and I've owned it nearly 2 years so suppose its about time =P What BB is the best one to get?
  18. Hi, My crank is starting to wobble on the BB so I think the BB square taper is starting to get worn down. Would I be right in thinking that? So here are a couple of questions I need to ask... 1) Which is better an ISIS or a Taper? (I dont know the difference) 2) What tools do I need to change the BB over? 3) What BB is best to go for? 4) What steps do I need to take in order to swope the BB's over? If someone could answer all of those questions I would be very happy! Bike is horrible to ride at the momment because it just constantly clicks =( Thank you, Jack
