  1. Have heatsink stopped selling their red pads? They're not on the website anymore....

    Did sell them on trials-uk for a while aswell , but could not find them in thier shop either. Just looked on the heatsink website there was a click link for them but it just took me to the Yellow and White pads. :S

    If you want some, best bet is to email him , e-mailed him a couple of times really freindley and happy to help.

  2. Well, right now I live in moncton, nb, Canada. My university is offering a Oxford program, where I'd be able to travel to Oxford and study at that university.

    So, I'm wondering, are there many riders in and around Oxford? I'd love to go there and see what UK riding is all about.

    Yea man there are loads of rider's in and around Oxford, i am from Swindon which is like 40mins drive and go up here every now and again!

    Be there must be like 5 strong local lot of rider hopes this helps!

  3. I would get a disk but I no I would bent the roator.

    On that point , it is alot harder than you think to bend one, and all you ahve to do is be a little careful!

    Saves alot of messing arund and hastle that you often get from maggies!

  4. If you are looking for a GU type frame serious, the LE is so so nice.

    Had mine around 2-3 weeks now loving it , real nice geo! not to heavy , athligh you don't fell you are gunna snao it either!

    On the height issue it is only 1020mm wheel base i think , although my friend has got one also, and he has no problems what so ever once he was used to it!

    And it looks the sex!!! Just has to drop that in!

    Hope i might be able to convice you

  5. Sorry I ment to put, 'I no I would bend the rotor'.

    And magura blacks :S

    My advice for any brake fix: Get a really nice harsh grind on the rim , fresh brake bleed . Koxx Bloxx , Or even better heatsink reds! (Y)

    Will hold like nothing else if thats what your looking for!

    Comments Welcome Thanks Tom

  8. Squeeking is good. :)

    I presume you mean when you pull the brake ?

    Squeaking usually means there is vibrations , which is usually due to flex in the frame. This is why it makes the noise

    The noise is good to a certain extent, to remove the noise you need to reduce the flex that there is around where the brake is. This is usually done by getting a booster.

    AS therefore the frame is stiffer , and less vibrations are created and less noise

    Hope this helps :D

  9. i know that baking contaminated pads can partially resolve the problem but i have three questions.

    First, What temperature do i need to "bake" them at?

    second, how long do i need to bake them for?

    and finally do i bake the rotor aswell?

    Thanks for any help,

    Davey.

    I just used a lighter on my old pads, the serface of them is now totaly black and they look really bad, but on the bike they are tureley awsome, never had a better brake!
