  1. If it is a leak and doesnt just need topping up re bleed the brake with water and add food colouring so you should be able to see the leak.
  2. Come ride with us on Wednesday! Who needs job training when your ginger? But seriously Ali get that onza stem on your bike and go brakeless it will change your riding soo much. Also get one of the 2011 echo frames you seem very comfy on mine! edit: And roll your bars back there upside down!
  3. Why not just single wall your rim instead of drilling holes in it? All you need is a Grinder/hacksaw and a file.
  4. Will you be making custom forks aswell with a 20mm axle option?
  5. Send it of to be clear coated, pretty sure its used on the echo frames now.
  6. Trials addict may have some in stock or if not he could order one in for you.
  7. Don't think just get one if you value your face! Dave33 had one for sale not long ago for £30 if I remember right.
  8. One more thing is that if your going to spray the hub you may want too strip the hub down to the body, very simple and easy to do. If you are unsure on how to strip it down hope have a video on how to do it, I'd upload a link if I could but I am on my phone so a quick google of hope tech pro2 strip down in videos should give you the answer
  9. I meant an international pay as you go sim not a UK pay as you go sim as this way you will not have to pay the higher rates as you would with the standard UK pay as you go sim when you go abroad.
  10. If you do get a pay as you go sim get an international one as it will be a lot cheaper than a standard UK sim as the rates don't increase.
  11. Of topic but what frame is that?
  12. It was the same for me just do them up as tight as you can with a well greased bolt and the gap closes up tight to the spacers no problem.
  13. Not a city but why not visit barrow farm while your in the UK?
  14. Maybe he changed the amount of pad material in the backing now? How old were your 'real' cousts?
  15. Heatsink cousts are real cousts! Only reason Heatsink now sell cousts is that the 'real' cousts had an unsafe amount of material in the backings (too little) but if your that stubborn you could talk to Jack Meek as he often has 'real' cousts for sale.
  16. Went for the Tesco deal in the end as there's no point in me paying extra as i use the family pc ect, the only cover i didn't get is abroad. Thanks for all the help, very much appreciated .
  17. Every thing greased as ive found that can stop alot of my bikes creaks, clicks and ticks? Could it be the sleeve like thing that holds the cups in your bb together starting to crack/split as i know from experience that it will start to make a creaking noise? Was there a clicking/ticking noise before the the creak appeared if so that's even more reason to check the sleeve bit.
  18. Looked at Protect My Bubble and it was £8 a month for no better cover than My Gadget Buddy at £5 a month.
  19. Gonna go for this most likely from Tesco (O2 signal) - opinions?
  20. Hi, Gonna get a HTC One X soon hopefully after my last phone was stolen so i am looking into insurance. This is my first time insuring a phone as i cannot afford to keep replacing my phone every 6 months so i was wondering how and where you isurue your phones. I was looking at insurance from My Gadget Buddy at £4.99 a month covering damage, theft, unauthorized calls, breakdown and loss. This is the cheapest i could find with a reasonable policy as most of the cheaper insurance on covered up to the first 6 months. I also thought about putting the phone on the home insurance as a possession outside the home. Any one else do this? What would it cover ect? So what other options do i have or cheaper alternatives? Thanks, Adam.
  21. Used to be on t-mobile, i got signal most places as they use oranges signal as well. Customer Service was top notch for me aswell, phone got stolen so they sent out a new sim straight away and arrived it 2days free of charge with the same number ect all sorted ready to use unlike O2 who took 2 and a half weeks and sent 2 faulty sim cards then took 3days for them to sort that out and we still had to pay £8.
  22. lazy piston? Mine felt very spongy until i sorted it out now my brake feels solid.
  23. Defiantly works, done and tested. All you need to do is file 2 flat sides allowing you to slide the piece of material into the headtube and then maybe depending on size ect of whatever you are using in my case it was a machined piece of steel about 1cm thick if i remember right but could easily be a washer, file a curve to one the the edges ( one side and one edge on that side only) to allow you to turn the piece of material inside over so it is resting on the cups then hit it out as normal but hitting your piece of material instead of the cups with what ever you were going to use previously. Ill get a pick up tomorrow if i can find it .
  24. Just for later reference get a thick circular piece of metal eg a washer (something without a hole would be best) and file the side down so it fits through the cups and then hit the washer/piece of metal instead of your cups so you don't have to damage the cups.
