trialsni

its forld sapphire gold i thinkonly colour available that there was two cans of in shop lol yep i will start preping gu soon cheers

heres a old frame i resprayed looks ok for a spray can job i think

instead of making a frame why not think of a trials training aid instead not too many of those about were as there are 100s of frame designs

wow good to see a range of photos even one of my ulgy mug there lookin like i know what i was doing lol cheers

i left bikedock 6 months ago and started my own shop riverside cycles so doubt they will be doing any serious trials stuff anymore plus i tried to get of rav before and had and order then my boss never give me the funds sorry about that one rav my hands were tied hence one of the reasons for leaving maybe next year i want a free tax year for me first year

good rant man having used just about every combo of rim,pad andwith and without tar i couldn't agree more there is no magic pad that solves all your problems everybody situation is different and what works for one person with the same parts wont be the same for another otherwise we would all be world champs by now

sounds sensible air compressors always have water in them toowhat is this water called i woder ? I am not that up on all the tech terms for this compression talk but i also thought a compensator/splitter and some deionised water would be worth a try but to be honest never had a problem with my maguras when they are bled right they work fine and i don't think i will bother i would say a tred about lazy cylinder action would be another one for a good rant

quite right but be careful you don't let too much grime, dirt dust etc into now that their is no seal as it will affect the freewheel mat cause skipping and the freewheel to clog up a bit

the opposite threads seems a good idea wonder if it will tighten up instead will be good to have more variety of trials specific freewheels

bases new rims are dx 32 and are avaialble drilled with eyelets now they were made special click the banner for more detail or check with alex or base

quite right man there are no rights and wrongs only results I sidehop more accurate to left but can get as high to the right both wheels and to pedal etc there are great advantages doing both ways especially if you ride comps I would image its a great help

base bikes use them and now there is a drilled dx32 by alex with eyelets etc

dt hugi did yellow though they where expensive and also powdercoated i think err acor or base screw on combos only ones i can think of that are available between £10 £20 I think

that is the steerer tube size where your stem clamps steerer it will 28.6mm usually refered to as 1"1/8th ahead bar clamp refers to clamp size on stem holding your bars in place the thickness of the centre of your bar may 25.4mm or 28.6mm or 31.8mm in diamter once you now this it will be clear what stem choices are available sorry some spec1 bikes had different sizes hope this helps

Sounds like a proper wheelbuild is needed possibly or a good true up If t is just a flat spot use a shifting spanner and a hammer to bring it out be very careful not to pull out flat spot too much a light file or sand will help to if not already ground to ensure an even braking suface hope this helps good luck

Sorry but i would not but a second hand frame that had been welded again not aluminum maybe steel but really not a good idea I have a load of broken frames but it just isn't worth fixing them ie Megamo, 3 Brisas Heavytools, Jamis etc brazing uses molten metal to join two pieces of metal. However, the metal added during the process has a melting point lower than that of the workpiece, so only the added metal is melted, not the workpiece bracing i think is a temp weld before doing the actual one may be wrong a bit rusty lol good luck

yeah this size too watch out though some had brisa type diameter 28.6 like on some mod onzas

give me a call if needed there are 2 different models of o5 t-rex and therefore some had 2 different stem and bar combos if yours is a 31.8mm bar it would have been a 100m stem 5degree rise if the smaller diameter they were 28.6mm then the length of stem is a little longer with a big rise

Yes i agree don't loctite your threads on crank for freewheel otherwise you will make a hard enough job harder getting it off again the welded acs shouldn't loosen at all if it did the welds would crack first so look out for that

some high polished alloy rim looks well too easy to do if with alloy rims if you can't get chrome
