  1. that bike is seriously sexy btw! i am more the "buy new,rape it,then bin it" guy,i often just strip my bike down to the single bolt,then rebuild it though. seems to be a bike mechanic thing but hey,you can buy my beat-up parts if you want,got a whole shed of them
  2. the short ones are by far more powerful,and the trekking levers also have some kind of "tektro" pressure point to them.
  3. you cant put more than the 2 on the drive side or your bb will eat the 4 threads it's only sitting on,believe me 68bb:1 left 2 right 73bb:0 left,1 right e-type derailleur/chainguide:1 left 1 right now sitting here and waiting for dan to declare my experience in bike mechanics as "bullshit" again lol edit:http://www.shimano.com.au/publish/content/global_cycle/en/sg/index/tech_support/tech_tips.download.-Par50lparsys-0003-downloadFile.html/Hollowtech%20II%20Crank%20Installation.pdf
  4. sorry,but a chain which snapped does belong to the bin,mate.put a new chain on and youll be fine for months again
  5. stem stackers are annoying,but other than that i like it.
  6. i see,i see. do i love my holzfeller cranks?oh,i do!
  7. like your style a lot! techy line at that wall with to-front-to sidehop-and-so-on was awesome.
  8. i think what stix meant is that if you have a fixed hub there is only one chainline,whereas if you have a cassette hub you could at least put a longer bb in.
  9. theword we are looking for is "clone" same sh*t with stems,i had a clean,a crewkerz and a procraft stem and they all were the same,even the technical numbers inside the steerer clamp. in china a big manufacturer just likes people to be over the moq (minimum order quantity) and get the money in advance and they build you everything we could take a tenner from every member on here,see whats the order quantity like and order 1000s of "trials-forum.co.uk" stems,no problem
  10. i think 203mm discs will kill most of the frames out there
  11. thanks in advance,really excited to get the info
  12. put a bolt in instead maybe after tapping to the next bigger thread
  13. ^^throwing my "7R8" recommendation in to the above one,too.
  14. my mate robert is 110kgs and basher no end,he runs it since months without a skip.snapped his chain last sunday though,so he isnt exactly kind to his parts
  15. you wanted to buy it looong before,dude. leon's just given you the excuse you were searching
  16. right,i just dont want to order a fork that isnt resellable without knowing. looking at that pic i've found on google theres plenty of height hmmmm...
  17. i've recently seen on ebay that onza/rocknrollbikes throw out their stock of fall guys and other forks at the moment. okay the 26"inch one is 440mm a-c,thats too much for a 24" bike. but i've noticed the 20" version to be 390 a-c and thought if someone ever tried to fit a 24" wheel into one. would be an interesting fork to have as a spare part for this money... please no weight comments,you all know i am a steel-is-real kinda guy and dont mind my bike being 12kg,so please only comments on the possibility of fitting a 24 wheel in the 20 version of the fall guy.maybe somebody has got one in the shed and could measure this. i mean, a 24" wheel with a holyroller has like 315mm in radius,but how wide are dem forks? thanks in avance guys and gals 2
  18. in fact theyre the non-plus-ultra for heavy duty use.i've never had a hub that lasted as long as my hope.mines going strong for the 3rd year,only thing i've changed so far is putting new axle bearings in. maybe some day i'll get myself an 80t hubshell for my existing hub.other than that no complaints,it just works.
