  1. Hey guys, Right, was out riding earlier and the brake went all shite and slow. I need to get the piston out of the main body, but how do I? Quick reponses would be appricated!! Sam
  2. I had this.. when you have downloaded it click save not run!
  3. Can't wait for this! Should be good. Lets hope the weather stays nice.

  5. It makes your brake alot stiffer. Instead of the pad hitting the rim and the pad backing flexing it pushes the pad into the rim with minimal flex at all giving you a better brake. It also makes a slight difference on the feel of the brake on the lever. One tip though - Make sure your pad is hitting the rim exactly square becuase as there is no flex in the backing your pads will wear at a angle very easily.. If you are on about the Red CNC pads that are from Poland or somewhere then they have had some good reviews. You can pick soft or hard compound when ordering - Soft for smooth rims and the hard compound for ground rims. I'm currently running both grinds front and rear with Heatsinks on the back and Koxx Reds on the front. I ground the rim originally with a harsh grind and put a new set of Heatsink Yellows on. The brake was seriously crazy. It locked up instantly, giving you absolutely NO modulation. I found this hard to control the bike at times, with the power ever beng ON or OFF. I sanded the rim down and put these pads on and it is much better. Light grind and a decent set of pads is wicked! If your looking for a cheap decent set of pads then i can Recommend the Onza Lime ( green ) or citrus ( yellow ). Although, i would also recommend a seriously LIGHT grind as these pads wear down very quickly. Hope some of this will help you! Sam
  6. Lovely Jamie, great style! One thing.. Video would have been better if you left the background noise in so you could hear your brakes. Although, I'm sure you took it out for a reason. Sam
  7. Love these photos! Was a good ride
  8. Ring dude! Bashplates tend to crack your frame down to the vibrations going through the welds, whereas with a ring its just going through the crank.

    Tar

    You have got FAR to much tar on your rim! Wow! If i ever use Tar, all i do is spin the rear wheel round and brush the tar against the rim so it leave a small trail round. Do you brakes not stick?
  10. Loved that! Didnt realise how smooth you are.
  11. Awesome location, i love watching videos from other (hot) countrys..
  12. Which one do you feel more comfortable on?
  13. Not sure. All i know is that Ali welders charge more. Best bet would be to go onto Thompson Local and look for a fabrication or engineering company within your area.
  14. New weld or weld a plate on to it would do the job.
  15. Why not ring them up and ask to see a policy or just come straight with them ?
  16. I loved this Steve.. just forgot to comment on it lol. Great riding, Chris' Kortz looked lush!
