    no they dont come with a lockring just the two bb cups and a spacer washer for the non drive side.they dont use a normal spline bb tool but pretty sure they would have one to fit
  3. where in suffolk do you live?

  4. hello there,look on select bikes. they may have 1 on offer

  5. really nice bike, your chain is on upside down though
  6. i had them with a xtr setup with no grind so a avid lever are fairly similar setup wise and very adjustable,alot of years ago i ran which used to be the spanish fly pads on rear with avid 5 arms and lever with a light grind and worked well in wet just enough to disperse abit of water so prob go for a light gring first see what you think,get the pads dead flat and square to rim and they should do you good in wet
  7. hey i ran some of the ashima vee pads(clear) on the front with a black rim and they worked really good, but i had the same pads on rear maggy with a ground rim and found that they shredded realy quick and didnt bite as good, id personally wouldnt grind just from experiance but just my opinion.prob hold fire and see what other members say aswell.
  8. really? hope not, why would you make that thinking it looks nice.yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  10. sorry to hear that ive got arthritus in both my knees and im 26,and have permanant ligament damage in both my ankles but i just keep at it .there not to bad in the summer but this time of year they cane and sumtimes just to painful to ride.the only thing i take to try and help is cod liver oil tablets and joint protect tablets which help alot
  11. just checked train times i can be in ipswich at 10.07 or another arrives at half ten so dnt know how that tallies up with your arrival time.its been years since i rode ipswich so really looking forward to it be nice change of scenary .

  13. ive just changed from a maggy louise to a avid bb7 with standard pads with sd7 lever and linear cable and its mental got loads of bite and modulation in my mind prefer it to maggy,or if you go vee i had xtr brake setup with heatsink coust pads in alu backs was absolutely crazy sharp but hardly any modulation. just my opinions on a couple of setups if any help to you.
  14. the train will drop you straight in town and the rocks are only 5mins away,and there is some street down beach with gaps n walls and bits
  15. yeh we got loads of rocks really good fun and hundreds of lines

  18. hi there i have tuesdays off work so could meet u up there sometime soon maybe in nxt wk or so?im in lowestoft and would be on train
  19. i do like the louise just find the lever uncomfy even with a alu blade and want something with more setup options in regards to lever adjustment and bite and lever feel.yeh it is worth more but it was a present off my boss anyway and he always buying me stuff i so not losing anything and cant complain realy as he does alot for me in the way of parts
  20. thanx for the input,im swapping my louise carbon for the bb7 caliper and sd7 lever and will put a odyssey linear on.just wanted to check i was making a good move and from the replys it is.il be running it with a 180mm ashima rotor(same as rockman)on the plus 20 try-all forks
  21. yeh its cool to order from them i got my white limey3 from there with other bits spent bout 500 quid with them and the bits came through within 2days very helpful and good to deal with
  22. hi there just wundered if anybody using one and what are your thoughts on braking power?
  23. the pads will still retract even if there is a leak,have you tried spraying a bit of lube on them as they do get dry sometimes or if they get dusty or some crap in them?And have you got your tpa adjuster wound all the way in as the pad wont retract all the way if you have.
  24. have you tried Billys in cambridge? as they do salsa stuff.Or give Ison Distribution a ring see if they can help they are the distributers for Salsa components
