Can anyone tell me the best way to flush out my maggie? Just bought one 2nd hand which is cracked so I thought while I'm sorting the crack out I'll try a water bleed, as I'm at work and got nothing better to do, but I'm not sure what it's currently bled with so I assume it's oil and will need a good flush out first. I tried a search but couldn't really come up with anything specific to my question although I did find this quality quote!

If your not happy then cancel it and stick with the Onza if I were you!

I found the vid far too dark, couldn't see half of it but the stuff I saw was good, keep it up!

Nice one, will be stealing my dads dremel and doing it at work today, may as well try a water bleed while I'm at it!

So you reckon if I just grind off the bottom as marked in the pic I'll get away with it? The lever feels a bit loose in the body, will this be affected??

I've just got a 2nd hand 05 HS33 but it's got a crack in the usual spot underneath. Can I cut/grind away a bit of the lever to sort it and stop it cracking further or is it a lost cause?

Thats a good vid mate, and some top riding spots where you are!

Shame your not validated yet as there's a guy in the for sale section selling about 4-5 hopes!

Yep, something like that! And for some strange reason those white tyres do look good!?

Literally just finished watching the new A Team movie at work and it's brilliant. Anyone old enough to remember it on tv in the 80's don't worry, it lives upto the tv series and is definately worth a watch. May even go to the cinema to watch it now!

Would some tensile offset maggie mounts not do the trick?

It may be worth giving tartys a ring and explaining your situation, if your considering a bike they stock they may let you go down to have a feel of what they're like before you buy. Other than that try and get out to a ride nearby and maybe try and blag a quick go on someones ride. If your just starting though I'd probably recommend a 20", they're easy to pick up the basics on and a lot of fun. I've always ridden a 26" and built a 20 up recently for a bit of fun and I find myself riding that more now!

Welcome mate to the forum. Good to here your making a comeback afetr a long break, there's been a lot of riders signing up recently who've been off the scene for the past 5-10 years! If your after a stem then your best having a look on tartybikes website, I've done the same as you after riding stock years ago I've built myself a mod up as well and I use a trialtech race forged one which gives a fair amount of length and rise. As for a freewheel you can't go wrong with either of the tensiles or if you can afford it the Echo SL 108 would be ideal. Complete spares can be bought for the tensiles whereas the Echo is renowned for being quite indestructable, I've got both so can recommend either depending on your budget. As for hubs I built my mod on a relatively low budget for new stuff and I've found the Onza sealed hubs to be just fine for the job at hand, if not you won't go wrong with some trialtechs but again its down to your budget. Hope that helps!

It's funny that as I've got a Zona Zenith that Martyn Ashton was all set to ride in a new European Championship that was devised by Onza after they managed to sign him on a 10 year sponsorship deal. However, someone had misspelled the word european in the contract and actually written 'load of b******s' which made the deal null and void so Martyn happened upon my number after picking a random name out of the phonebook and decided to give it me. True story!

I'd suggest Marino but I assume you want it soon?

Last time I went was Bike '99, got my Mint Sauce T signed by loads of riders that were there as well!
