  4. Crank Problem

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    Yeah, this is normal cause the splines on the cranks havnt worn as much as 2nd hand cranks.

    They will pull on further as you ride them, so for the first few rides, make sure the crak bolts are tight

    Thought this might be the problem, but it never happened with my last cranks (trialtech sports) which were new aswell, but that might be because the BB was also new.

    Thanks for the help :)

  5. Crank Problem

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    Hi all,

    I bought new cranks and fitted them tonight, but they dont go onto the bb fully. The spacers on the BB can move about 2mm each side and spin freely, so obviously the cranks aren't on properly. I've tightened them as much as i can but they dont seem to budge. Is this normal for new cranks? I've never had this problem before but maybe its the type of crank. They're Try-All cranks (the silver ones) on a Trialtech Sport Lite BB.

    Thanks

    Bring it to me I will weigh it :) I just wanna see it really :P

    I like the setup its very similar to my build on the rockman Austin. The weight is quite a suprise but you are running thin tubes front and rear and thosr carbon bar I like s lot. Even then it can't realy be sub 8kg no way

    Yeah it's probably not sub 8 if I've been weighing it wrong. Can't be much more than 8.1-8.2 ish, so it should be sub 8 once I get new cranks, front brake and rear sticky lite tyre :)

  7. Pro-Carbon protectors

    there not all made perfectly! it will be fine, ive had 3 and all are different one had a glossy smooth inner, the other had a rough dull inner piece my newest even has one part thicker than the other ad it curves round! it will be perfectly fine im sure.

    Ah right, that's fine then haha. Yeah the person I've got it off has one that is thicker on one half than the other.

    Could sand that shit down if your jimmies are rustled over it :)

    Nah it's not bothering me too much, was more thinking it might affect the strength of it or something, but if it won't it's all good :)

  8. Pro-Carbon protectors

    Hi, I bought a Procarbon downtube protector off a mate today but there's something weird about it. It's got a line going down the middle on the inside, a small bump, meaning it doesn't go right onto the frame, but it only sticks up ~1mm. Is this normal?

    Also the stuff on the inside of it is a smooth material and is glossy black, but on the old protector I had it was rough and a grey colour on the inside.

    Just checking if this is normal, or if it will affect the strength of the protector in any way so I don't be a pussy about it and ride my bike properly :P

    Thanks

    That's almost definitely not 7.7kg, as Jamie Williams' Speedrace is dual maggie, pretty much all titanium bolts, and super light cranks. Weigh yourself on bathroom scales, then weigh yourself holding the bike, then take your weight away from you and the bike. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/179983-jamie-williamss-speed-race-fan-evo/

    Yeah i was thinking that when i seen his bike haha, ill find some way of measuring it properly soon :)

    They're just cheap luggage scales i bought, and the reading always seems to change but its always around the 7.7 area :)

    ..And before you say it, yes the whole bike is off the ground :P

    This is how I've measure the weight of my bikes but am i doing it right? have a feeling I'm not...

  21. Chain rub problem

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    What's a neopreen guard? If it works I'll invest in one!

    I've seen some carbon sticker things at halfords - would they be ok for protecting the area? And also slightly OT but would they be any good for chain stay protection or would they just get eaten through?

    Thanks
