Recently got a pair of adidas terrex solos. Not ridden in them much yet but so far they have proven to be very good. Really grippy with a nice stiff cushioned sole. Really good quality shoes overall.

No, don't heat it up! Buy http://www.tartybike...s/c5p10026.html these. Stick them in a vice and clamp the hose in the middle. Tap the barbed fitting in with a hammer.

Read about this in T and MX news, sounds amazing!

Set the pads up closer to the rim.

Set the pads up closer to the rim. If the lever is pulling in but the pistons aren't moving it needs bled.
-
Just set it up perfectly without the TPA. I also found that when I used the TPA, if the rim moves over slightly and hits one of the pads, it can push the piston in which results in the other piston moving out. Save yourself the hassle.

Ended up splitting the bench my vice is attached to trying to take the sprocket off so gave up on that
Eventually managed to bash the race out with a slightly larger screwdriver. Happy days! Thanks for all the help guys -
I can't get the sprocket off. Got the vice as tight as I can but the chain is slipping. I'll look into getting someone to weld some tabs onto it as that sounds like a good idea. Thanks guys.

I've tried levering it out but the screwdriver either slips out or just bends. It is far too tightly stuck in there to lever out I reckon. Thanks anyway.have you tried hitting the middle bit of the race, or put the blade of a screwdriver in the middle then leavering it out like digging a hole with garden spade (if you no what i mean?) lay it across the hub/??
or drill a little bit out the race so u get enough to put a screwdriver in?
Cheers Adam. I'll give that a try.That should work, but get the sprocket off if you can, at the moment it'll be compressing the hub shell and bit and making the bearing tighter: http://www.tartybike...removal/m1.html

Yes, it's a bit of a nightmare really! I'll try lubing it up. I've been tapping it with a screwdriver from the other side for a good 20 minutes with no joy. I had to bend the screwdriver to make sure the tip of it hits the race because it's such an awkward position to get in at.That looks pretty awkward to get out! Only thing I can think of is to use plenty of penetrating lubricant around the outer ring then tap around it from the other side with a hammer and punch until it shifts - or try tapping a really fine point (like a scriber) under it and see if that helps. Either that or grind / hacksaw a split in the race - although you'd have to be pretty careful.

Basically, a few days ago my drive side bearing in my rear Echo TR hub crumpled. I bought a new bearing to fit but have a bit of a problem as the outer race is still stuck in the hub. Obviously I can't bash it out with the axle but I have tried screwdrivers and other long metal tools but there just isn't enough material to get enough force to bash it out. Really not too sure as to what I could do to get it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm meant to be riding on Thursday.
Anyway, here's some pictures as I probably haven't explained very well.

Me and Mikey are going to head through on Thursday. If anyone wants to come and ride then meet us at the Broomielaw Quay Ferry Terminal. We should be there at around half past 12.

45 minutes well spent. Was a great weekend and thanks to everyone who organised it.
Who traveled furthest to attend?
Eastern Scotland?

I'll chat to you nearer the time about it. Will definitely be able to come at some point.

When you change the stack height the steerer is no longer going to be just below the top of the stem though is it?No? Have the steerer slightly below the top of the stem and tighten the top cap up from there, always works for me, and I've seen people with the stem held onto the steerer with just one bolt ha.

Yeah, if you link your bank account to your payapl account it is free. If you don't and just use a card that you've enetered the details of you will be charged. Pretty sure that's how it works anyway.

Pretty cool seeing a video where people have different riding styles but are riding the same stuff. Makes you appreciate it a lot more.

Bleed it with the TPA completely unwound.

Those cranks scare me

nice man, love seeing people progress! jealous

That was some pretty massive stuff! Makes me miss mod a bit.
-
It reduces flex in the frame so there is less chance of it cracking. Gives more hold and a more solid feeling brake. Only downside is that it can reduce bite slightly.

Will there be toilets at the spot at the auction house Kevin?
D. Watson will ride for Crazybike?
