  1. You say you sanded the pads but adjusted nothing? Try the TPA?
  2. You can still buy em just they are now called 'Gollys' so they don't get sued
  3. TNN LGV's, Harsh grind, Booster. Also set your pads so that they are almost touching the rim for great lever feel. This means your wheel has to be 100% true though :/
  4. Theta2

    Chain...

    Still have a few left in our shop somewhere
  5. ^ This. With a pig because of the compression ring getting so tight, you have to twat it quite hard with a solid hammer, careful not to let the loose ball bearings go everywhere though If in doubt, twat it harder Always works
  6. http://www.74kingz.de/Bilder/Kettenspanner_6-9_li_mo_400.jpg I run one of these and can highly recommend it
  7. Gonna get some better pictures tomorrow when the light is a bit better outside
  8. 'Nosie'? As in it listens in on your conversations?
  9. Yeh Need a new stem to sort that out though :/
  10. New old stock I believe it is 380mm and the ratio I'm running is 22/18
  11. Just finished building this Update: Has had a new rear rim, new brakes front and rear, new stem, new grips, shortened chain, thinner grips and I'm sure there are some other bits Comments and suggestions welcome
  12. Looks good but personally I think that headtube would look better with a squarish sealed headset

  14. You won't be able to space a square taper BB properly, if you use a washer, it will be pushed over the steep end of the taper when you tighten the cranks:/
  15. Could be that the splines or taper in your cranks are worn, this happened to me but BB-side, I found out when I cleaned the BB taper, put it back on, and because the muck and s**t had been removed, the crank went on too far, Replaced the BB and it was fine, check the tapers/splines in your cranks
  16. And the older models are nicer and the newer ones are fugly? The small top bearing/large top bearing is becoming pretty much standard on mountain bikes now, so trials may as well make use of it, shame only rockman sell this setup, rockman prices put me off the technology step.
  17. I've always found formula brakes to be amazing, good bite, hold and heat dissipation (useful for riding from spot to spot)
  18. I had a shitmano freewheel on my 26". Just changed it to an Echo SL, the shitmano is worthless unless you are just commuting on it really :/ Get a Tensile or an SL if you can stretch to it
  19. In short, yes. Spraying in cold weather causes all sorts of problems. The paint goes harder between the can and the object you are spraying, meaning you'll have to move the can closer and it is more likely to run. Also once the paint is on the object the cold temperatures give the paint strange properties and it doesn't dry normally and can become streaky and discoloured. I tried to spray my frame when it was too cold and instead of it being black like the rest of it, it turned out to be a washed out grey colour :/
  20. Mine did this. I used a longer bolt from a 4 bolt mount and now it is fine
