  1. Mine did this. Put the correct adapter on , new pads, fresh bleed, perfect. Not sure which if the fixes actually solved the problem, but it's not dramatic effort to do all of them anyway. Usually factory bleeds are quite bad?
  2. that's fair enough, I shall take heed that advice, i was just wondering whether it was personal preference or whether the angle actually affects riding in a negative way, cheers
  3. I've run your standard angle, in line with the stem, since I started. Feels fine, good for everything. Fancied a change, rolled my bars to a flipp angle (they're Tt highrise) and honestly, they felt better, and I could do just as well as I could normally with them at that angle. I'm not great at sidehops imo, would the angle effect my progress, or is it just a matter of getting used to it?
  4. the only reason I run a racingline is because I got it brand new for just over £70, it's nicely made, looks great, and has gallons if power. I would never buy one new though. Not worth it.
  5. Being left or right handed determines which ball hangs lower on your genitals.

      Nix what I said, it's actually the opposite

      but what if you write with your right hand and do everything else with your left, and then you are right footed?

  6. My onza limey 320- finally after ages almost exactly how I want it-built from frame up. I'm waiting on a new tr hub with to sprocket to put my matching tryall rim on it, so the rear wheel is temporary. Spec: Onza limey 320 Echo sl forks Tryall 3D forged stem TT high risers Shimano br-m395 front disc, ice tech rotor Racing line rear with red ano boltage Heatsink yellows Tryall hole laced to a tryall "h" hub with tryall stiky tyre front Onza laced to onza with tryall stiky (temporary) Onza cranks, tryall pedals Echo sl ffw Onza bash-- I have a jafbikes half ring im was going to put on but I bash the shit out of this one so I think it's be a waste to kill a nice bashring so soon. SARS headset (great find!) Pieces of foam with tape wrapped around bit of it for grips. Shimano bb, need a new and better one but does the job Rides great
  7. One one hand, the ground rims on a disc look out of place, on the other hand- well, that hand is busy down me trousers
  8. Pad: heatsink yellows Time used on current rim: about a month Grind: yes, harsh Rim:onza Brake: 2002 magura Review: fap 9/10 unbelievably good
  9. Ahah the fact I found a tryall snail can on my workspace while trying to find glue for my model shows how much space I have....
  10. My setup definitely is not as good yes there's a cheeky Jaf bash chillin
  11. I'm loving the creatures- any weathering tips, I know very little, did the brown in the way id imagine dirt to travel on a car, windshield obviously no dirt where the wiper goes. Oil streaks the same, dry brushing. Little specs were done by "flicking" the brush off the side of the paint pot, creating the dots. Probably has a name. Scratches were done by painting the body silver, then yellow, then swiping very coarse sandpaper along it to rub away the yellow and crest the scratching (yes I know the f40 is carbon so there'd be no metal but artistic liscense bro)
  12. Made a model for the first time in years today- Tamiya Ferrari f40. Some slight paint inconsistencies on the exterior, so I thought, f**k it; the cars going to be a wreck. Used brown and black on a dry brush to create the streaks. Also used some pliars on the wing to complete the look. Anyone else got any scale models from their youth/ now? I forgot how entertaining it is.
  13. this. I honestly do t see the point of making a frame that won't fit their own parts- surely you'd make it so it only fitted onza hubs, so you have to come back to onza to replace the hub, therefore making them more money etc
  14. For me, opening exam results and discovering that I've done seriously well is hard to par- and when a shipment of new bike parts arrives <3
  15. Rotor installed. Bedded very quickly- oddly enough, felt an obvious power difference- the bite is pretty damn good. Holds nicely- then again my old rotor had more problems than me ex girlfriend, so it could just be normal performance, but in comparison to my other rotor it feels much nicer.
  16. If you think about it, someone thought if the name "brain"; therefore the brain named itself.

      No discretion... On the dan train

  17. well it was going for 20 and if you've met my current front rotor, a piece of ham would be an improvement over that thing. To fronts and stuff ain't my thing, but I can still do them. And I like the way they look. Each to his own I guess
  18. the fact you've had no issue fills me with more confidence than what others were suggesting, it's for a front brake too, and I use that less than my rear as to fronts and up to fronts ain't my thing. I guess I'll see how it goes
  19. I've just bought an ice tech 203mm, with the 5 pronged aluminium spider. I bought it because I've heard good things about heat conduction away from the rotor through the spider which is made if Alu (great for conduction) and frankly, I think the disc is great to look at. But is the heat conduction really noticable? My rotor at the minute gets quite got and the brake sometimes fades slightly, do the saint rotors offer better braking power and heat transfer? Or is it's good looks all it has to offer?
