    Recorded over the past couple of weekends in and around Colchester, I wanted to get some clips together and start finally recording myself riding this bike which i'm sure I've been doing for too many years, but its still my biggest passion, I've managed to put some sort of a video out, but my aim with this video is to release part 2 in 2/3 Months, and see how much i can progress and document within this time frame.

    Hope you all enjoy and stay tuned for part 2 :)

  2. yooo, im working in london atm but staying at pompey, got my bike so wondered if anyone is up for riding tomorrow night, never riden pompey before but all i know is that the curved walls are right next to where im staying :D. my number is 07905665507 just drop me a text during the day if anyones gonna be out :D

  3. Why would people make sprockets 0.005" larger than the standard?

    (Or why do we make them 0.005" smaller if 1.375" is the standard.)

    yeah its annoying because my lbs did say it was a 1.375 cog, which i believed to be the right size and when i was in the store i did just screw it on slighty. and it seemed to fit. looks like i'll be ordering one off tarty soon then :D thanks adam

  4. hello everyone, right i got some tensile cranks from

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300420440418&_trksid=p2761.l1259

    because they where £50 cheaper then normal priced cranks, as soon as i get them i put my new sprocket on the cranks, and yes the sprocket is the right size of 1.37.

    just as I start pedaling it holds up fine for about 10 seconds, then the crank thread all decides to rip off. i emailed the store telling them my problem and sent them these pictures. and there reply was

    Hi, we think it looks like the freewheel wasn't put on correctly, ie not tight enough or cross threaded or incompatable with the freewheel. If you want we you can send it to us and we can pass it onto onza, but we don't think its a manufacturing fault. Apologies, A.G.

    so yeah just wondered where i stand and what other people think about it.

  5. Missed out on a good chance to ride today, but I realised I also have next Sunday off!

    Itching to ride, what is going on and where, I'm feeling Clacton, haven't riden those sea walls in a long time, but of course I wanna hear where you guys wanna go.

    Let's do this!

    tom your so keen, and yeah if i get them cranks sorted by then, then sure

  6. This, the lad beat me to it :rolleyes:

    Obviously, be careful to do it slowly and not try to force it too much or you'll probably end up covered in water with a magura master piston stuck in your forehead :lol:

    EDIT: Just noticed you want another method, crap.

    you could overbleed your brakes (bleed them while you hold the pistons out so that the system holds more water than usual, if this makes sense)

    and then push the slaves back in at the same time, which will push on the master piston and hopefully push it out

    yeah goood idea!!! also just found a really old magura motorbike lever, which has the same mountings so I can also just attach that and pop it out, cheers guys :)

  7. right I've noticed that my rear Maggie is leaking from the master piston inside the lever, and I've got another broken body which is the same model,

    but I just cant seem to get the lil critters out of the pistons without destroying them, anyone know of a good and easy way of extracting them?
