Well after destroying my bottom bracket today with 5 minutes of riding Anyone else have a problem with onza ISIS bb's? Whats the best way to install a bottom bracket? with grease? dry? with the pre-installed lock tight? I had a problem with mine recently coming loose, which i re-tightened and it came loose again the next day. When i removed the bb, tartybikes had coated the threads in grease, so i cleaned it off and used superglue (did the job, didnt have any lock-tight at the time )

Game, Set and Match

I'll order some up for my next bleed

Has anyone thought/used Propylene glycol / water bleed? Propylene glycol is a lubricant, as vioscous as water, safe to seals (used as antifreeze in cars/computer water cooling systems) and lowers the freezing point of water. Everything you ever wanted right?

Some sweet riding I was a bit slow on the street sign..... MILF! Those bars though :/ I'm like 5 stone heavier than you and running ligher bars

Good riding But proberly the worst quality video ive ever seen

WTF? you didnt even put any weight on them Slow mo would have been good

+1 annoying me

You're opening up a whole kettle of fish here....

What dan said. grinds go smooth because of the friction from the brake pad.

Lets go on trials forum and basically tell everyone they're not a trials rider. Because THATS clever..... My idea of a trials rider? someone who rides a trials bike, wether mod, 24" or stock

You oviously did it wrong

More stupid ideas then? Trials bikes that ride themselves?

u said u used spit for putting grips on, and other stuff

I like arguying my point Hey, its not as bad as ur use for spit, and turtles, and lions, ect

True. Im not saying its not possible to be done, im just saying i think its alot easier than everyone gives it credit for

But Dan6061 has a point. They'd have to make everything to manafacture it from scratch. With screw on cranks, you'd just have to modify an old mould and cnc program

+1 And the man likes Mini's, i think i love you

At least you give me factual information into why it cant be done, unlike some other people..... I dont even wanna know .........

Oh come on, its a lot f*****g more sensible idea than a bike that 'pedal kicks' itself and belt drive

Not saying its not ideal, but it'd open their products up to a whole new market, i.e mod riders. Because most mod riders prefer a ffw setup.

Finally! some SERIOUS answers. Yeh i gathered they'd have to make a new mould, but considering all they'd have to do is have more material near the bb, and then cut a thread into that material.

I dont know the ins and outs of how middleburn manafacture their cranks, but for any new product they'd have to change their setup. Im sure they've got different setups for square taper, ISIS, 170mm, 175mm, ect. Im simply saying Middleburn have a reputation for their amazing cranks, and theres clearly trials riders out there that want them to produce a ffw crank...... Im talking about making a product to suit the customers needs. if you want gunmetal grey or white cranks, there's an invention called sandpaper and a spray can

+1 Most top end/decent pads are designed for ground rims....
