  1. Evening!

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    Hi there,

    Im Mark...I'll be honest. Im only here to hopefully sell a bike! Not telling you which one, untill I can be validated! That way it can be much more accesible to all members.

    All I will say, its a 20" and It's a classic.

    Sadly, due to a major crash a few years back, i've lost confidence in riding trials.. and so stick to other sides of cycle sports,

    So anyway, If someone can validate me that would be awesome.

    This has to be the worst case of validation "Crash and Burns" iv seen to date in NMC. :giggle:

  2. Wobbling Crank! Help !

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    Hi, just reading through, and i, like everyone else had the same problem, but, if you have the cranks i had, then this should help

    |-----|-------- <-- bolt end of crank, if you can imagine the square taper being perpindicular to the shaft of the crank (Taper is the wierd square

    | [-] | -------- <-- thing, middle left, incase you can't understand the diagram) this type, in my experience, is about as useful as a peado

    |-----|-------- <-- trying to thread a needle in a nursery, right now if you can imagine it being 25 degrees turned like this

    ````````/

    ``````` /

    `````` / ``````/``<-- I know not exactly 25 degrees but it gives you an idea, as oppossed to the above it is not perpindicular and i find this works alot

    ````` / ``````/ ``<-- better, i have been riding this design for the best part of 7 months and it has not failed me yet, i havent ugraded because mainly

    `````/ ` [-]``/``` <-- i cant save up for love nor money, ha ironic, sorry, anyway this works well. sorry for the random commers it wouldn't fit properly

    ```````````/`````<-- on the page and would not look like anything i wanted it to

    ``````````/

    And i really hope this works well for you guys cus' if you cant understand it then its been a massive waste of my time, bout 3 hours, and i accidentally deleted the first one i did, very annoying, so if it helps, much appriciated, again very very very apolagetic of the diagram i just hope it can make as much sense to you as it does me? and the bloke who said give it welly, THAT IS VERY GOOD, i got a mate to hold my bike, and got a 4 metre'ish scafolding pole, attatched it to the allen key on he end of the bolt and had some fun hanging off it, was PRO!

    Twitch :)

    EDIT: the first one is crap, the second works!

    Ahhhhhhh WTF Am i missing something here or is my laptop still in the stone ages and dosent work properley cause all i can see is a lot of sqigle and arrows so where do you get "Good Post " from im not sure. If i was you id listen to the advice given by the other members on page 1. +1 for effort on the post but just dont get it sorry mate .

  4. Hope Mono Mini Brake

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    Yes pretty much, just tryall are usually odd sizes, but these should be fine if used with normal forks such as +0mm etc.

    So yeah they'll fit.

    I run the hope mini on a set of echo sl with a 203mm rotor so yes would be the answer in my opinon.

  5. Hope Bleed Theory!

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    I've found that the best way is to do it from the bottom. Take the reservoir cap off, push a shit load of oil through(flicking the hose with your finger to release any trapped air), do the bottom bleed nipple up, and roll the diaphram in as they do in the tutorials. :)

    Glad someone asked this question as im now also about to bleed both my hope brakes with dot 4. Ive tryed so mant times to get a half decent bleed when first filling the reservior and opening and closing the bleed nipple, but this always leaves my brakes fealing spongy. So like you i was thinking of bleeding from bottom upwards. Also would running maggie slaves off a hope mini lever work, I think iv seen this posted somewhere on the forum before but i would like confermation really .Would be useing same bleed tecnique as stated above for both brakes.

  6. Making A Frame

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    Are you trying to imply that i'm sat here with my cock in my hand? Bizarre. I wasn't knocking him for trying, far from it, i've been very tempted to do the same if i had the time and resources; what i was trying to point out was the obvious fact that the general geometry of the frame will be as far removed from a trials bike as possible and that it should have been something he should have considered in the first place. Guess its a case of live and learn and try again. Which no doubt he will do (Y)

    As boys we all get caught with it in our hands at some point but no mate i wasnt. I was just giving the lad some positive feed back regarding getting off his arse and giving something a go, may not turn out to well by the looks of things but Hey ! we all start somewhere and with time things can only progress :)

  7. Making A Frame

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    No one saying that you aren't making a tester bike as such, its just with the current geo you wont be able to ride it for trials in any way, if you can ride it at all; so testing it for strength will be very difficult.

    Well done for giving it a go man ! Its nice to see someone who"s willing to give it a go instead of sitting around with there cock in there hand. One thing though im glad your going to be the test dummy for the frame and not others + 1000 for effort.

  10. Making Own Pads?

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    why did you massivly bump this?

    Got some rimjam material from a freind and was thinking of making my own pads for the lgm backings. This stuff is so hard to cut 100% true i could never actualy do it properley.Any good ideas on how to cut this stuff would be good. Iv tryed: Hot knifes, razor blades, hacsaws, and now iv come unstuck, so the pad material is gatthering dust. Ideas welcome .

    Cheers, Just that i got the bike like that so i didnt know how to take erm off etc.. What size free wheel tool would i need ?

    I think there all the same size for the ffw but dont take that as gospal but 99% sure

    hello i currently run a bashring but it is on the opposite foot i want it on for example i ride with left foot forward and it only protects when my right foot is forward. My question is do i need a free wheel tool to just move it round because i also have a front freewheel?

    Thanks

    Luke

    Yer just undo the freewheel and re position the bash ring so it covers the bottom of the freewheel with the left pedal facing forwards this should do the trick !

    Similar to what?

    I have to say, everything you post is either complete bullshit, or completely useless.

    Some good replys there to get me thinking about the sl but at nearly 80 quid a pop (and i need two) might be out of range. Especialy when i have to explain to the missus why she cant go out news years, you know how it is fellas. I think its going to be the echo TR levers if tary dont th echo cnc that is, was thinking of the echo cnc only cause they look more compact and reliable and more PIMP

    Fund Your PayPal Account

    PayPal gets money from you to send to a recipient in one of three ways:

    Deducting the funds from your PayPal account, if you have a large enough balance.

    Deducting the funds from the bank account you linked to your PayPal account.

    Charging the credit card you linked to your PayPal account.

    Link a Credit Card to Your PayPal Account

    Using a credit card may provide extra purchase protection, as your money should be protected by your credit card company as well as PayPal.

    Go to PayPal and sign into your account.

    Click on the "Add Credit Card" link.

    Fill in the requested information.

    Click "Add Card" at the bottom of the page.

    Link a Checking Account to Your PayPal Account

    Do not link your PayPal account to your primary checking account. If something goes wrong, you do not want to lose your rent money!

    Gather your bank information, including your account and routing numbers.

    Go to PayPal and sign into your account.

    Click on the "Add Bank Account" link.

    Fill in the requested information.

    PayPal will make two small deposits to your bank account, approximately three days after you enter the information.

    Check your bank statements for the deposits.

    Return to your account page and click on the "Confirm Bank Account" link.

    Enter the amount of the deposits to confirm the account.

    Once you've linked an account to PayPal, you can click on the "Add Funds" tab whenever you'd like to add money to your PayPal account.

    Which lever are you looking at in particular? None of them are particularly big - the SL looks like two twigs bound to your bars, and the TR looks broadly similar to an old RB lever or an old style HS33 lever (but nicer...).

    Was thinking echo cnc if sold seperately but the TR complete lever was my second chioce . Hearing the posts regarding these i might stick with them just cant be dealing with fresh bleeds every week . Guess il get on to tarty and see if they do the echo cnc on its own first. Anybody got the TR fitted and working with good reviews might sway me though !

    The main problem with them is if the levers still have swarf or gunk inside the cylinder, it shits the seals up and causes leaks. If, when you get a new lever, you strip it down and clean out the cylinder and make sure it's all tickety boo you should have no problems.

    Well if that is the only problem with these brakes might look into a bit further. Just one thing they look as if there quite big and bulky for a brake or is the picture on tartys site exploded or zoomed . Just tryin to get a better picture of what they look like on the bike thats all
