i'll let the oil and water settle overnight and give it another flush out tommorrow, its just really strange. i had an epic brake and i fear i may have f**ked it
My mate said try a bath bleed instead, so I'm going to do that tonight and see if that solves the problem.
yeah i done an oil bleed first in preperation for the winter but i forgot how much i hate them and started again with water. before i done my final bleed i made sure to completely flush them out about 10 times.
and yeah bath or bucket bleeds normally work very well but just not today.
Good evening ladies and gents
Right decided to give my maggy a fresh bleed, I have performed countless bleeds on a number of bikes and have never came accross this problem.
Basically when I done my fresh bleed the slaves barely move at all when I pull the lever. I bled with a syringe and water I also tried a bucket about 5 times as i thought there must be air in there some where. i am using a 100ml syringe and when you push a full syringe through no air bubble are escaping.
What could my problem be?
i dont know if your loking to buy one but i have a brand new carbon fibre magura booster its exactly the same shape and spacing as the boosters you get with evo mounts, il get some later pics if you want
if you are serious about getting into trials i would save up a little bit more money, then wait to be validated and pick up a bike from the forsale section on here. you will get alot more for your money.
As for getting the names of parts etc visit www.tartybikes.co.uk and look at the different parts and names on there and it will show you a picture and description of what each part is.
im pretty sure you will need a new bb, i dont know alot about the TT lite, as it happens i have a TT race one for sale which can be used with 73mm shells, only been used for 3 hours £25
the tr is 110mm spacing to allow the use of snail cams you could always stick a 3mm washer either side and use it with tugs until you get your new frame and then replace the washers with cams
its good to see more companies getting into the 24 market, can only be good for the sport, however there is something about the frame that looks plasticy,
more like a scaled down model than the actual production bike. Maybe some phots with a real life background setting would make it look better
try these boys parcels2go this is who i always use any questions just pm me and il try my best to answer, basically they deliver uk wide and they come to your house and pick it up for you, so no need to take it anywhere
back on topic angus, i would go for the onza blade mate, it allready has a front disc, its cheaper, sealed bearing rear hub, isis cranks and bb, drilled out rims, and the 40 quid you save could be used to buy some decent forks from here
not wanting to hijack the thread ross mate. when i fitted the bb to his frame there was plenty of clearance and it ran for a couple of months that way, then from what i was told it had moved and the freewheel was rubbing on the cup
there have been quite a few topics in the last few weeks asking the same question, and basically it all comes down to personal preference. they are the same geo, and material but are designed differently.
i always use copper grease on my bb threads, yeah it does come loose from time to time but nothing a quick 5 min spanner job won't sort out, id much rather my bb came loose every now and again than have my bb seize in a frame.
when you ride just make sure you carry a crank extractor and a bb tool and you'll be reet
