  1. is that front free wheel ? getting a second hand complete wheel would be easier and similar price to getting a second hand hub and lacing it. There are tons of mod parts about on the forum. If you change to rim brake, youll need the brake and clamps and pads which may set you back up to £50. If you are looking for cranks and freewheel second hand, remember there are different lengths so just get some that came from a mod, is your bottom bracket ISIS splined or square ?
  2. Just found them for sale, they look pretty good setup, I would seriously consider getting them if they work. http://www.trial-bikes.com/hydraulic-brake-p-536662.html
  3. Split clamps would be ideal, they should be standard. Also I personally don't like setting them up. I doubt it is possible, but if the slave and the brake clamp were just one piece that would be amazing. Or have something other than a clamping mechanism to hold the slave. Maybe on the modern setups there is less variation between the brake and angles and distances from the rim ?
  4. Is there a difference between TGS and Comp geo, Stock frames seem to either be short with a lower 50-60 BB or longer with a 70+ BB, Is this a personal preference thing, or is one type more commonly used in TGS or Comp ?

  17. You will need to wait at least 14 working days before claiming with Royal Mail. Like everyone else says that is proof of postage, If it doesn't turn up within that time frame then you'll have to refund, and hopefully your RM insurance covers you for the cost of parts.
  18. they are annoying but you can run any combination of front and rear cogs you want.
  19. These sort of muscle pains are well known for coming on very suddenly and progressing fast, however they do take years to form. Its because the body has a wide margin for error, so when you start to feel pain you are fairly far progressed. Unless you go to a top notch chiropractor on a regular basis you wouldn't know. If your shoulder blades pop it means that they mis aligned and the muscles in your shoulder are out of sync. Go to a GOOD physio and get them to check your whole body first, i don't know if you have free physios in your country but if you have to pay its well worth it. If they can explain why you have pain and that it is postural or because of neuro-muscular activation then you can get it sorted. If they can't explain it, you may have to look into other health conditions that may be causing it (fibromyalgia or whatever comes up??). 80% of the pain people feel in their life is muscular but health services invest very little in treating it. Be prepared to move doctors and try lots of specialists until you can narrow it down. Use ice/ frozen peas alot and get one of these for your legs until your doctor finds out what is wrong: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=foam+roller&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=MmgkUrP2N-ry7Aag6IHwBw&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1158&bih=783
  20. I have a couple of suggestions, I have had bad forearms and wrists too and i am also a programmer so I know how annoying it is. - Trigger Points. Your muscles are overused and too weak to put up with riding and programming so you are developing trigger points in your muscles. These are basically knots in the muscle. When your muscles get over used the elements in the muscles fibres lock up. when they lock up they get larger and cut off blood supply which causes more to lock up. Trigger points can be dealt with by squeezing out old blood and getting new blood in the area. Typically people massage or use a foam roller, I personally find ice packs (frozen peas) much more effective and as your hands are hurting you probably can't massage so ice your forearms twice a day until they are as cold as possible without burning. - The other issue with this sort of problem, is that it won't go away until you get the root cause sorted. Your desk is likely to be making it worse, make sure your seat and tabletop are at the correct height and that your wrists are not bent at all when you type or use your mouse. You also probably need more strength before you can cope with riding and long hours of computer work. - Gaining strength shouldn't be started until you have rested your arms sufficiently, when the pain is mild and bearable strengthening and stretching should help. You will need to use physio bands and particular exercises for this. See a good Physiotherapist it will make the process so much quicker and easier, they will have you back to normal as quickly as possible. As for your other concerns if you have some sort of blood issue this will make your muscles more prone to problems, but the same goes for postural problems. Your doctor sounds a bit crap, change doctors if you can and get a second opinion / more tests with your other concerns.
  21. will this be more easily nose manualable then ?
  22. Yeah bearings will rattle because there is a small gap in them to allow them to move freely.
