maybe you didn't understand my post, why spend $35 plus on a tensioner when you only have to spend $12 on a chain. I under stand the chain is brand new but unless your tensioner is broken why replace the expensive part? its like if you bought a new fork that the steer tube was a few mm to short so you went out and bought a new frame

chains are cheap, tensioners aren't. buy a new chain that will fit.

BB5 pads are both the same, the BB7 pads are a different shape. if you can find a BB7 caliper on the cheap that would eb the best upgrade, larger pads and a much stiffer caliper

but can you lift one by yourself that is 12 feet long?

might be a bit late but looking at the part that bolts to the mech hanger has three threaded holes on it, is there a screw that is supposed to thread in and rest against the stop on your hanger?

+1!! not to mention once a wheel has ben tensioned and ridden even for a short while, it is bad to re-use the spokes, they WILL snap randomly and require a full rebuild down the road. spokes are cheap just replace them while you get a new rim

its a BB7 that I had ceramic coated, the adjuster knobs are rattle canned

its pricey but if you can swing it NOKON is amazing I have it on two single speeds, my road bike, cyclocross bike, and now my trials bike

what lever do you have on the right side? pics?

same screen name, I just git into trials in November and am waiting on the last few parts of my bike to get it finished. I can't wait for OTN come back live, I am looking for people to ride with locally

welcome from another OTN refugee from Nor-Cal I like your atom lab, how well does the hydro gyro work?

I have been running the alligator on my XC bike since September and they work great with a BB7 and nokon housing, better power than any stock avid rotor, but one word of advice, the gold TiNi coated calipers take a awhile to bed in, the coating needs to wear down, the standard stainless are better from the start. I just bought an alligator starlite for the front of my mod, I may run it on my SS to bed it in than transfer it back to my mod

I hope nobody is waiting for me to start the thread, i have only bleed HS33's once and it was 6 years ago, I had to read the manual. there are a few others on the forum that would do a better job, I just wanted to put it out there

maybe a mod should sticky an HS33 bleeding Q&A so there isn't a new thread popping up every three days, maybe include water bleed, royal blood, and any other questions related to HS33's similar to the "really small questions" thread in NMC but just for HS33 and maybe discs too any thoughts???

the BB is hardened cro-moly and the cranks is aluminum so the crank will die before the BB, if you ride especially trials with a loose crank bolt it allows the crank to loosen and causing the taper to round out. Now is the perfect opportunity to upgrade to an ISIS system

awesome, looks like your very comfortable on the rear wheel. Not to sound cocky or anything but a little more practice on track standing will help you tons

what was making the sound? the crank/freewheel or the frame? sometimes frames have some excess slag in the tubes that wasn't shaken out after production

are the rear brake studs going to be in the right spot? it seems you shifted the seatstays forward, so you may be braking on the tire

what freewheel do you have? most use a common (Park, Pedros, Shimano) 4 prong tool but ECHO F/W have their own tool and if its a White Industries they make a tool which fits like a glove with their freewheel.

biketrialseller.com got my ZHI ZM1 for $76 new

so do the HS33 slaves and ECHO lever work well together? I am torn between the ECHO SL and TR lever, I have set of pre-05 Maggies with a cnc blade but like the idea of a longer lever blade.

you can try olive or vegtable oil.
