Bionic Balls

I've had mine for over a year and it has not skipped....tis le nuts! I ride a stock too and like someone else said, the stiffness does cause the cranks to turn on their own (sometimes)...sometimes it is free-er (weather thing i reckon...) go for it- they are worth every penny adam

it's an hour to ipswich for me...and someone on here said it is 2 hours from ipswich.... damn...adam

who is the guy on the mod xtp? (both of them...) adam

i've got school! (in chelmsford...oh the irony!) sat or sun following would be much better (20th?) adam

3 hours on the train.....maybe it's worth it? if andy chai is going then it might persuade me... adam

tis...nasty that 'un... tapping it bigger or helicoiling them would be less hassle and shouldn't cost too much...unlucky... adam

damn...i am coming to lowestoft! how far is it from ipswich? adam

mine's like that (couple of threads off) adam

damn...is it true that you break everything (eventually)? bigman! adam

who is already a member toby? Surely they'd know what thriftwood was like if they were already a member.... adam

Badboy is from the chelmsford area... Why don't you join the EBTC? I only joined last year but i'm loving it! comps are really satisfying.... speak to Brian Matthews to get some forms....01277210284, or come and have a look next weekend (sunday 13th) at Belhus country park in ockendon.. adam

what's the riding in bath like? I might go to uni there..... downloading now! adam

was that brian matthew's job before? adam

here easy cleaner from toni arts: clean up the registry, unneccessary files, history/cookies/recent lists, clean up start-up (IE: remove any programs), unistal programs (and if they are gay and remain in the add/remove list after you've unistalled them- you can delete them from the list. really good and easy adam

i wrote (top left)!!! wahey! adam

Oh noooooooooo! everything above is soo true! I'm hopelessly addicted to trials riding.... i can't concentrate for more than 15mins (if i'm lucky) unless i'm ridiculously tired...i start dreaming about bikes...i get annoyed walking anywhere because walking seems soooo slow...i'm usually tired because i've been riding so i never get anything done...and i get withdrawal symptoms from the weekend riding which was only yesterday at the time... argh! adam

maybe....how long is it on the train from shenfield/chelmsford? If i do, there'll be a few of us... adam

and where did the frame break on those people who didn't run a mini seat?

Thanks for the guide adam....i've already tried most of that (connected a pump and rebled + lubed pistons....the problem is the pistons. if i depress the lever, it is really hard to push one piston in if i wanted to get the other piston right out... (Y) they are just really stiff. the pump thing is fun! adam

thanks for the replies......"Re-bleeding dosn't do anything. (Or it shouldnt). Have no TPA, and set the brakes up again." that doesn't help- TPA or not...pistons move (in) real slowly. hopefully when i get home tonight the bike spray will have worked some magic...it's been in it since this morning. adam

I went for a particularly muddy and wet ride on sunday and my bike turned into a big brown cake. Of course, my brakes went terrible.... Cleaned the mud off and regreased some bearings but my rear brake (magura hs33) moves really slowly and is almost always on (because the slave comes out but doesn't move back! I've tried putting bike spray all over the piston, and i've rebled it, but the slave is still really slow. I've taken the slaves off and filled them with bikespray to try and loosen them up a bit....but when i pull the piston out with pliers it is still really stiff and moves back pretty slowly. I've been running it on water and its been fine for about a year....the brake is about 3 years old in total- is it knackered? I wondered if i can actually take the piston out to give it a right good cleaning up? Can i do that? how? any other ideas? cheers, adam

thriftwood...ockendon.....weald park.....other country parks (although it really is NATURAL trials there- trees that fell over during the night, streams, ditches etc). I heard the mid-essex gravel pit was good- not been there though... thriftwood is a 15 min ride from ma house so just PM me if you are gonna go and i can direct you and get some other people out! adam

:D bloody hell!

power risers or powerisers... that name'll find you a few more vids on google! adam

Otherwise...drill a hole in it then you can do all sorts of things! Like...wedge an allen bit (from a ratchet set) into the hole...use a left handed tap (if you're lucky..) etc. adam
