i meant an alternative but i think the problems my badly made chain tool i think it's had it i'll just buy a proper one and get it over with thanks for the replys
cheers guys, do i tighten the sprocket itself in the vice cause theres no freewheel type tool to clamp in and keep it in place like when removing a freewheel if that makes any sense?
splined what an arse i meant threaded! sorry its a fixed trialtech sprocket on a try-all crank and obviously there are no grooves for any tool like a freewheel to keep it in place, usually a chainwhip and a vice works straight away when removing them from fixed hubs but this is not budging
for £50 you cant complain i suppose but the only thing oldschool about that is the weight, i certainly don't rememebr any +50 bb 375mm chainstay mods from the old days
get the pretty KMC boxed one for £9 and save £5 Trialtech are robbing bastards (i say this having every Trialtech component possible on my bike) but it does my head in how trials companys rebrand shit and think they can take the mick! even the box is no frills no way to warrant their price at all although it was probably tarty's idea not them
that looks a beauty, i was expecting a bright green but that's still gorgeous, you must get some pics outside in the light i don't think that pic will do it justice
bit off a dead end question that, everyone has their own preference there's no one straight out of the box frame that's perfect for everyone
it would help it you mentioned the style of riding, your height etc otherwise i doubt anyone will bother to help you
it was a joke but if you want to get arsey about it an 05 mag weighs about 315g with magura mounts which weigh 80g in themself so if you use echo brake clamps you're saving 40g or so making them 275g so pretty much the same making you even more wrong
i appreciate you clearing that up because i've only started using this site again in the last month or two and kept reading conflicting reports, i'f that's the case surely the heatsink cnc backings make them more value for money and therefor better
back when i started we had two choices magura black or magura red oh how times have changed!
is that the one with the slight curve in the downtube?
if yes the long model is
1085mm, 380mm, +35mm
and the short is
1065mm, 380mm, +35mm
they're for 116mm rear hubs if you were unaware as i nearly went for one myself before finding a new model
