Hi Guys, Where is the cheapest place to get Xbox Live Points? Thanks, James

At 8? :$

Hi Guys, I was just riding my Trek 3700 on the road and the Derailler just suddenly caught in the wheel. I had taken it up the mountain earlier in the day but it was fine on the way back? I don't really know much about mountain bikes so I could do with some help of you guys. I have taken some pictures which should help: What is wrong? Is it fixable or do I need to get new part/s? If I need new parts, what parts do I need? I don't want to spend much on it to be honest. Thanks, James

This is the pictures of the thread I was on about by the freewheel: You can see what I mean about the thing moving without needing to thread it! It just slides that far out and that far in. It might thread on the last few milimetres but I don't know how to screw it in? What do you guys think? Thanks, James Edit: Wrong picture!

Just had a good look at the bike. If the freewheel is the sprocket thing by the pedals (well pedal stem things, don't know exact name sorry :$ ), it is on a bar (?) which goes through the frame to the other pedal stem. Well there is a thread by the freewheel but it has lost its thread. It just slides into the frame and back out. I'm sure this isn't right. Maybe it is causing the clunk? Anyway, I am going to send it back to the guy as I am not pleased since it has: 1)Makes a clunk 2)Front buckled wheel which has a slow puncture and the tire is very worn down 3)Rear brake doesn't work properly 4)Finally, chain very slack So since he sold it in 'perfect working order' I think I will return it even though it says that 'this seller doesn't accept returns'. I have sent him a message about problems with the bike and I am waiting for his reply. What options do I have if he says he will not refund me? I see there is claiming on eBay, how does it work and do you win often? Thanks, James

Easy to fix? I just bought this so I am disappointed already! Also, the chain seems really loose. I don't know if that makes any difference? James

My Onza T-Pro makes a loud clunk when you press down hard on the pedals. I was doing a wheelie when this first happened. You can't bring the front wheel up because as soon as you hear the clunk the front wheel just goes down. Any suggestions on what is happening? Thanks, James

Hi Guys, I had tried a 'Bath Bleed' like Revolver explains in the video tutorial. First time I tried it, when I held the brake lever in fully for 2 seconds or more, it would make the brakes stick on. So I gave the bath bleed another try. I have a problem though. I was was letting the lever go when it just stuck on. It is now stuck on. I can only push it back off if that makes sense it doesn't spring back. The brakes are not affected by the leaver at all, so when I squeeze it there is no pressure! Any ideas on how to solve this issue? Thanks James

Thanks a lot Alex. They are the things in the photos. There is three of them. Would you recommend putting them on and seeing if I like them on? Thanks, James

Hi Guys, My Onza T-Pro has just come through the post but I have a really stupid question. How do I fit the frame to the forks? Well when I say that I know how to but there are 3 little spikey rings on the forks. Where abouts do these go? Below the frame, above, etc? Thanks James

Hi Guys, I went up the mountain yesterday on my Trek 3700 and had an amazing time! I went along the bottom of the mountain first on a sort of wide dirt track, not really fast stuff but I made it fun by going along banks and jumping off! Towards then end (when coming down the side onto the road) there is a little section of dirt, rocks, drops, gaps and all that sort of thing. It's not high speed stuff though (well you can go pretty fast on one bit where there is a bit of a drop) but it's still great fun. Anyway, I am thinking of getting a new Mountain Bike as my old Trek 3700 is getting a bit old and small. It has a 13" frame, the shocks on it are literally rock sold and the front wheel is badly buckled so the front brake doesn't work well. I am thinking of getting a 17" frame as I am 14 years old and 5 foot 6. I am still growing though! I was maybe considering a Specialized Hardrock Disk. Would this be suitable for me? I would be doing what I said above. Here is a link to one: http://www.evanscycles.com/products/specialized/hardrock-disc-2010-mountain-bike-ec019400?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=froogle&utm_campaign=froogle Are the higher models really worth the extra money? Is there any other makes/models I should consider? (I was thinking of a Carrera Fury but this is a the top of my budget) Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks, James

Same as me....

Do you mean a Onza 'Rip'? If you do, it is best to get a T-Pro as the 'Rip' has a 20" wheel where a T-Pro has an 19". HTH James

This might help : http://vimeo.com/3619353 (Hope AlexFrol doesn't mind me sharing it :$ ) James

Nice one man! It's pretty awesome to be honest

Well we all know that is true........ Just kidding man

Hi Guys, Just wondered what the 'Reputation' means on your profile? Thanks, James

Thanks guys. I have just bought a Onza T-Pro which should make it slightly easier, well hopefully it will! I will let you know how I get on! James

After all your advice guys I got the T-Pro I posted on here! I paid £195 including postage is that too much or about ideal? I just need to bleed the brake on it, How do I do that? Thanks guys and I hope you made me get the right bike! James

What do you mean by 'No Deal'?

The Onza still has 2 days left. The reserve price is £120 meaning that I will have to spend a minimum of £140 but there is quite a high chance of it going higher, especially as I have posted it on the forum. But if I want to Upgrade this is what I am thinking: Buy bike (eg Onza Rip for £150) If I enjoy trials riding and get better and could do with a better bike, sell the bike (possibly losing a small amount of money) Buy a better bike Simple really. I would rather spend about £200 max but £150 would be perfect. I do not want to buy new as there is no advantage, you spend twice as much for a bike which looks a little better but will probably soon get a nice long dent/scratch down it. James

You make it sound so easy lol I still think I'm leaning towards the Rip James
