  1. Wrap your current tube up in another tube , heavy but when I did it I never got another puncture :)

    when i started riding my old limey i done that with 2 kenda DH tubes and still managed to puncture it haha. that was a while ago now though. im a lot better and smoother now :D

  2. Do you grind from right to left when you turn wheel over? If so the grind will be opposite ways on the rim. Check the pads are square as suggested ;)

    yes i do. i think i might do it differently next time.

    i squared my pads earlier and its a bit better

  3. hi. when i grind my rim i grind from right to left. my brake squeek fades away after an hour or so, but it only fades when the wheel is spinning forwards, when the wheel is spinning backwards i get an awsome squeek.

    am i grinding in the wrong direction?

  4. I've just swapped my frame and rear wheel for a because simple and profile hub. The chain line is way out. the BB is a trial tech race, try all cranks (160mm) and obviously profile rear hub with 12t sprocket.

    The chain pulls out at the BB end, I've taken the BB spacer out and the little washer in between the BB and crank, which makes it slightly better, but still not right.

    What do?

    Also the hub makes a kind of creak when putting any power into the pedals, is this chain line or a buggered hub? The hub has recently been serviced apparently.

    are you running a front freewheel without a bashring? because without a bashring the freewheel will be closer to the cranks making the chainline out.the bashring will act as a spacer bringing the freewheel closer to the bb which will make your chainline a lot better.

    hope this helps
