hi im mikey and im 16 ive been riding for about 2-3 months and i like the lack of punctuation you have used im sure you would suffocate if you spoke like that in real life thanks, Mikey --------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, hey mate Welcome to the forum. Sure you'll have fun

Heh thanks mate. Hows the GCSE's going?

I know a few people will vouch for me that my Magura Marta is very good. Bite is insane - whilst keeping modulation - and the hold is even better xD I've NEVER had it slip. Not that I can do anything intensive on my front wheel but still, not 1 slip

The f**k? Lay of the coke mate.

Take front wheel off, put forks over end of triangle shaped thing, slam down hard and they should split down the centre. Another way, take forks off bike, whack the join between forks + steerer, when these break put brake on forks + steerer back on. Looks like they broke at steerer naturally

Come along anyway, I'm sure people would let you ride every now and then plus its a laugh.

Get a marta not any of that hope mono rubbish You know you LOVE my marta ;D

Bring revision books with you! 30mins revising deserves a good 30mins riding i'd say. Repeat this and you'll wanna revise so you can ride? Dnno, come anyway

Just to clear it up. 11am reading station. Rain or not we'll have at least 4 coming. Text me tomorrow when you're on your way or somthing or if you're gunna be late.

I did one about 2 hours into riding trials. Managed to string 2 together about 3-4 hours into trials. They werent very good distance / height wise but I was proud xD Now I can do about 10, only reason I stop is because i'm unfit and get tired xD xD

Thanks, i'll have a look later Might even ask lbs if I can borrow the tool for 5mins xD

Thanks for the help mate, any way to remove links without one of these tools?

Heya, my chain has stupid ammounts of slack on it but I don't wanna pull the wheel back further as the maggy mounts are already slid back as far as they can go to set brake up properly. Other than buy a new chain is there anyway to reduce this slack? Such as remove 1-2 links? If so how could I do this? Thanks~

I usually use Gas Mark 6..... I also tend to cook somthing with it as, being a fat f**k if the ovens already on why not take the opportunity? xD If you're worried about gas bills or anything you could probs do 30mins on Gas Mark 2

When I got back from Reading last sunday I was running about 5psi, it felt nice but, because I wasnt comfortable running it this low its now at 25. I'll lower it again tomorrow but for now i'll keep it pumped up more 'cos i'm gunna try use it to get places xD

Yo Rob, as I said last weekend take the rotor off and stick it in the oven for 30minutes. This should burn off any residue etc, give it a good rinse in warm water after though. As for the pads I just scrub them with a little fairy liquid and then rinse, dry with paper towels and reatatch. You won't need to bleed after doing this although if you're comfortable doing a bleed you could do. Remember do NOT pull the lever without the rotor as the pistons will get pushed all the way out and could damage them. Also remember that when you put these parts back on your bike you will need to throw water on / have brake half on just to bed them back in. Hope I helped and I better see you tomorrow xD

Safe guys, I'll hopefully have a couple of people down from near me too. Should be a good day

Heya guys, I really enjoyed last weeks Reading ride despite the weather. I'd love to ride newbury this Sunday but due to having limited money and it being a hassle to get there Reading seems more viable. Let me know who's in. If you want give me a txt, probs meeting at 11 outside the station? Give me a shout @ 07738941993

Saffeeee I'll be in, was thinking of setting up a charity ride or somthing on the 24th? Get some guys down reading town centre while wearing santa hats with a collection hat or somthing..... That failing this seems more viable

It seems to be longer, lighter, nicer looking, nicer geometrys etc.

I've decided to go for that tool and the try-all bb santart deal Thanks for helping out.

Only if you take me on a date first

Hmm. I'd rather order from tarty to go above £100 and get myself a free t-shirt (yes im stingey ) Could you reconmend anything from the tarty boys?

I reckon I ache more as i'm not used to it I can still make my fingers cramp into the bar holding position ;D Good ride though, gunna be newbury next weekend unless enough people turn up for reading?
