Can anyone give me a hand and help find me some new pads online? and also how do i change the pads, thought it's better to get new ones with new disks

If your changing the size of your disks remember that you might need adapters!

It's only on there because all it's been used for recently is getting to work forgot to take it off last time i went for a proper ride, smashed it!

Here's my bike... it's a 2009 Mongoose Tyax Super Pic 1: Pic 2: Full Spec: Frame: XL Mongoose 6061Aluminum w/ Trail Tested geometry, Zero Stack head tube and replaceable hanger Fork: Suntour XCR RL mag lower, 100mm travel, preload and rebound adjust w/ remote lock out Crankset: FSA Alpha Drive forged alloy (22/32/42T) Bottom Bracket: FSA sealed cartridge Pedals: Mongoose alloy platform Front Derailleur: Suntour XCM202 Rear Derailleur: SRAM X5 Shifters: SRAM X5 triggers 24 speed Freewheel: Shimano HG30 11-32T, 8-speed cassette Chain: KMC Z72 Rims: Alex TD24 disc specific double wall Front Hub: Formula Disc Alloy QR 32H Rear Hub: Formula Disc Alloy QR and freehub 32H Spokes: 14G stainless Wheels: Kenda Komodo (26 x 2.1) Brake Levers: Promax Hydraulic Brakes Front+Back: Promax Hydraulic Q3 + 160mm Rotors Handlebar: Mongoose alloy riser 31.8x30x685 mm Stem: Mongoose alloy 31.8 x 110 mm Grips: Mongoose Dual density Kraton w/ gel insert Saddle: WTB Speed V sport Seat Post: Mongoose alloy w/ micro adjust clamp

Yeah thats what i was thinking now, just need to find some cheap rotors Edit: i'm thinking these rotors: http://www.readytoridecycles.co.uk/180mm-alligator-starlite-disc-brake-rotor-218-p.asp

thanks for the advice, probably will just go to a 180mm. the reason is I want a bit more stopping power. Edit: also does the shape of the rotor make much difference? and for rear do you mean IS-PM R180 not F180?

Hey everyone I am looking at upgrading the size of the disk brakes on my mountain bike (Mongoose Tyax Super '09). This bike came with 160mm rotors so I am looking at upgrading to 203mm's at the lowest price possible (hopefully only needing to buy adapters and rotors, not callipers). Already have a bent rotor so might aswell What different adapters would I need to buy and how do I need to fit them? Front: Back: Back 2, please note the adapter already there: Any help would be much appreciated Thanks James E

wow. your really good how long have you been riding ?

hi You don't live to far away from me then... im a willand boy

this is for real i know someone who does it

i like it to. and have to agree with Rob it is miles better than there current website. good luck. hope they reply and use it

if it was an actual popup then quite a few people would not be able to see it due to pop up blockers. maybe that it is put above the boxes for putting new topics in

cool. i would try to get down but i dont have anythig to ride or a way to get there :/ how old are you? what bike do you ride? (just curious)

nice video. your brother is really good love that video aswell and the music is one of my favourite songs

thanks for that. really appreciate it i think im swinging towards stock bikes from what ive heard but will try and have a go on both and then see what i want

would definitely be a good sport to watch though. sure quite a few of the people watching would get quite inspired

im not really worried as such it's just thinking of paying about £700 and then scratching it. both my other bikes had quite a bit of damage within weeks of buying them but they werent quite that expensive. i guess i should go second hand until i think im good enough to pay out that sort of money.

there is a shop a couple of miles away i think so i will try and get down there in the week as it is half term so i have no school thanks for all your help much appreciated

yeah i guessed it wasn't going to be cheap and i think it would be throwing myself in a bit high as i probably would be a bit worried about damaging it as it would be my first time riding trials on a trials bike. i have done the odd bit of kind of trials on my old 26" which is smaller and my bmx but i suppose that isn't much good for the real thing.

half the problem is that i own both a 20" bmx and a 26" mountain bike so im not quite sure. i prefer the geo of my mtb as i prefer to ride it but i know that it will be different for a trials bike. do you think any stores selling different sizes would mind if i tried them out ?

thanks for the advice i have been keeping my eye out on the classifieds is a DB Ashton Justice any good? and what price are they likely to sell for as i have found this one on ebay ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220555659763&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching )

what is the difference apart from the capital A? that might be a stupid question

i have watched the tarty video but still cant decide on wheel size because then say that 20" is best for beginners but 26" is good for people coming from mountain biking and i am both of them. so what difference does the wheel size actually make in terms of riding and technique and difficulty to learn ?

thanks for that ! do you think for a first bike buying is better of is it better to build a simple and cheap bike as i do have quite a lot of biking expierience and know-how and am not looking for anything to fancy?

Cheers Might go have a look seeing as it's half term so i might go to town. any good spots you know of anywhere?
