  1. A clip from about a week ago,I was mega scared to do this drop(i actually did it with a broen bearing in the bb,and the next day the bb was useless ),hence the too many backhops and the screams in the end Sorry for the crappy quality,its from a mobile...
  2. I measured the damaged threads and its 5mm.But if there are damaged threads after the cleaning,how is the bb going to be screwed in the shell?
  3. Its not that bad,the damage is about 0.70-1 cm width.So,when its fixed by chasing the threads,will it be ok,or the frame will be prone to damages after the repair? Thanks.
  4. Thanks for the fast reply!What do you mean by chase the threads?Will it need helicoiling? ?
  5. Hey guys today while i was changing my bb a friend of mine tried to put the bb on the frame but he didnt line it up (im not sure thats the phrase?)and as a result the frame ended up with 1/4 thread of the left side thread almost striped. Is there any way i can fix this?(maybe i can bolt something like a full threaded bb like thing through the shell to fix the messed up threads?)The frame is an inspired fourplay 2011. Thanks in advance...
  6. the tooths are closer to the frame.There was a spacer between the bb and the freewheel,where it shouldnt be,it was placed on my previous frame at my local bike shop.
  7. Its like the left cog in the picture...Anyway,I found out what was causing it,there was a spacer in the bottom bracket,so i removed it and its ok now.Thank you all for your replies
  8. Onza cog,12 tooth,and the chain bends towards the crank(the freewheel is at the right of the cog from a rear view)what do you mean by wich way round is it?
  9. Hey guys,i recently bought an inspired fourplay frame,and as my previous bike was an onza zoot 2010,i put all the parts from the onza to the inspired frame.The problem i have is that now that i put all the parts on the new frame,my chain line is quite offset as the bb shell is wider than the old one(my freewheel is non aligned with my rear cog,resulting in making the bike unrideable)My question is,what should i do?should i go for a new bb,or a new hub?are there any modifications i can do so i dont have to buy new parts? Thanks in advance.
  10. This frame is one of the most flexible frames i have ever ridden!Terrible...Apart from that,it is a pretty good bike.Like the clors too
  11. Nice bike man but you spent so much money on it that it would have been cheeper buying an inspired at the first place!
  12. It looks awesome!I asked because i thought it was the 2011 model but then i saw the dropouts and the headtube and i was like !
  13. Have You painted the frame?
  14. Well I live in greece and here we drive on the oposite lane from Uk,but i still have my front brake on the right hand.As i am right handed,I have a better feel on the front wheel.Its all down to personal preference....
  15. hey man are you the owner of wip bikes?if so can you tell me a price because im interested in a frame...also,can you send me some pics of your bike?My msn is 8emis@timori.net

  16. Nope,Front Vees... No the caps arent moving but i'll check the bearings though... Of course i loosen the steerer bolts first before i tighten the top cap! Anyways,If i want to replace the headset,should i go for an internal one?Or stadard headsets are better? Thanks.
  17. What do you mean by wedge? No there all there,but what do you mean with how im trying to tighten it up?untight the stem,tight the topcap,then tight the stem if thats what you mean.It doesnt have much "play"in the headset,but ive ridden bikes with less "play"...
  18. I have just replaced my starnut because my old one got bend. Which one do you think is better?Are the headlocks heavy? I dont think theres a problem with my fork length because its the factory one,and the stem is tight...Im afraid it may be my headset though...
  19. Hey guys can anone explain to me the differences between internal and standard headsets?Also i have a problem with my headset.I have an onza zoot 2010 and the whole front end feels a bit "wobbly" .No matter how much i tight it when i am on a complete stop and push the front brake,then move back and forth the front end feels a bit loose.Is my headset damaged? Thanks,Themis.
  20. Hey guys,I'm having a problem with the chain tugs on my onza zoot.At first i had the onza chain tugs,which after 2 weeks of riding,the one thats at the side of the chain,snapped.At the moment i have a pair of gusset kojack tugs,and the problem is that the hole on the tugs is bigger than the bolts and the right bolt keeps digging the tug hole towards the cranks.Plus the tug keeps bending.What am i doing wrong?
