Dunno what else to suggest then really. got an old white (or other light colour) towel you don't really mind getting dirty/ stained? Water bleed the brake and put a few drops of food colouring in the water you use to bleed it, enough to give it a decent bit of colour. Then seal it all up, lay it down on the towel and pump it a load of times. In theory the coloured water is gonna leak out and be really noticeable on the towel, pinpointing your problem. I have no idea if food colouring would have adverse effects on your seals, but I really doubt it. Plus it'll clean out easy enough when you bleed it with clean water

Daaaaamn! Who be she?

Mystery then it seems If it's "pissing fluid" then it's safe for us to assume it's losing it at quite a high rate, right? If so then surely it's gonna be noticeable where it's coming from if you dry the brake off totally and pump til you can feel it's lost fluid then check to see where it's wet. If not, then that's some crazy physics lawbreaking right thur

Did you take it off and rebleed it, then dry it off and give it a few pumps then inspect it? that's pretty much the only way you're gonna properly see where it's leaking from

waaaahhhhh! sexy, I want!

awesome stuff, glad to help You got my vote ages ago, hopefully you're not far from getting validated

you'll just need a standard shimano style BB tool for fitting the freewheel as for remove the sprocket off the cranks, have a look at the video guide here: http://tartybikes.co.uk/media.php?group=guides&id=1 The chain method is what you want, that will sort you out When you put the sprocket and freewheel on, it doesn't matter if you can't get it ridiculously tight by hand because the thread means they will tighten up as you pedal

shouldn't do

also, it makes it a HELL of a lot easier to remove, the BB tool is far better than the regular freewheel tool

Never heard anything about the v!z freewheels so can't vouch for the quality. Can't fault my tensile though. The echo freewheels are popular, they're 72 EP too and £6 cheaper than the v!z A hard gearing isn't really what's wanted in trials because it's all about pedal kicks and you can more power down with a low gear. you're new to trials right?

that's just trials bikes to be honest. Once you get used to it it's fine. if you really wanna go harder, you'll need a bigger freewheel, which really limits your choices since 90% of them are 18tooth only and I don't think you can get sprockets smaller than 11t try 18-12 for a while at least, almost everybody else uses it so it's gotta be useful

Yeah man, looks cool so far! I miss being in a job where I get to use a lathe, Such a good tool to work with. I can't wait to see this done

Something I couldn't agree more with. I ran a cheapo dorito shimano freewheel for a long long time, 18 engagement points! Invested in a 60 click tensile and it does feel way better. you also put a lot more trust into it because it's been designed for trials use. A decent front freewheel (if you want one new) will be somewhere around £40, or more if you want more engagements. but to be honest, 60 is enough. and a sprocket for £12 new If you can find them both second hand, you'll probably get them for under £35, then you're laughing

I think something low slow like the GU won't really suit a fixed front srocket unless it's really small, In which case you need a tiny rear sprocket to get the gearing right. If you're running a fixed front, most people use a freehub rather than a freewheel at the back. Profile hubs are very popular but expensive, it'd be cheaper for you to go front freewheel in your case. What was the gearing on the bikes you've been on? almost all mods run 18/12 or close to that, it's just perfect really.

Yup, but 99.9999% of people just scroll past them and hit OK

Also, fixed or freehub?

You wanna be running a 12t sprocket on the back, 18 is way too big! 12t sprocket will be 12 quid from tarty, neon or echo TR Edit: 12 tooth rear sprocket providing you're running a front 18t freewheel?

Have you set your brakes close to your rim? obviously the further away from your rim they are, the further the lever will travel I reckon you just haven't successfully bled them, try again and make sure you wind the TPA all the way off before you do it

http://www.whoshouldyouvotefor.com/ ? done that already and got UKIP for some reason. EDIT: That came across pretty arrogant. I'm doing yours now and will post the result EDIT 2: http://www.politicalcompass.org/facebook/pcgraphpng.php?ec=-3.38&soc=2.15 I'm as near to indifferent as make no odds really. There weren't many questions I could expressly agree or disagree with, everything was either slightly agree or slightly disgree

Heatsink coust or heatsink yellow I loved the cousts when I tried em, not tried the yellows, But a friend of mine used them and preferred them over the cousts and the LGM

Well, you need to be validated to sell things on here. And with a mission statement like that, You'll never get validated. On that note, you should go ahead and log out now and never return unless you have something useful to say. Have a nice day.

works a treat too Anything with a big flat end will be better than the flat screwdriver, as you run the risk of jamming it between the cup and the inside of the tube when you hit it
