    Anodising?

    Yeah, the hub has been used for a while. I rang hope today and they told me that they probably couldn't, but i could buy a new hub shell and ask for an unusual colour :P :D . Cheers, Josh.

    Anodising?

    I'm wanting to anodise my hub, but i don't know how or where to do it? I've heard that some people can do it on here, but i don't know who. I've also heard that car painting shops can do it, but i don't know if they could do certain materials? Cheers, Josh. PS- it's for a rear hope mono.

    Rear V-brake

    I was just wondering if any one uses a grind with a rear v-brake? At the mo, i have Avid ultimate clapiers with heatsink pads. Also, would it be any better on a chrome rim instead of just a standard rim? Cheers, Josh.
  18. Looking really nice :) :- . Liking the finish on it aswell :P . What about trying moulding carbon fibre instead. Ment to be a lot easier, with a lot less hassle, and also stronger because none of the fibres are broken :P ??? Cheers, Josh.
  19. Would he do a saddle, like the leeson carbon fibre roadie one? Cheers, Josh.
  20. Thanks for all the info :closedeyes: . How did you order them? E-mail, pm? Cheers, Josh.
  21. I'm confused on wethere(sp?) the heatsink pads for v-brakes are out yet or are just being tested and used by the team :- ? Could any one *cough*Steve*cough asure me on wether they are avaliable to order yet :) . Cheers in advance, Josh. PS-I've already PM'd steve, just haven't had a replie yet :P .
  22. Oh ok then :D . Can anyone recomend a gripy but light front tyre (and please don't say anything including 'panaracer', already got one and hate it :P ) Cheers, Josh. EDIT- i was thinking about the maxxis highroller/minion but i don't know about weight isues :S ? Could someone with one ,well, tell me about it please :P? Cheers.
  23. I've seen that lots of people are using a continental tyre on the front know, but i don't know which actuall tyre they are using. Does anyone know which would be grippy but light? Cheers for any help, Josh.
  24. Me and some other wantagers should be going this year. Will be my first comp, yay! :- . Cheers, Josh.
  25. I'd completely disagree with that. I use my good foot to flick. As you step onto the backwheel makesure that you have some pressure on the pedal so that you actually move the cranks. Also make sure that your cranks spin quite easily as it is :- . Cheers, Josh. PS- practicing balancing while standing on your backwheel seems to help alot :P .
