  1. It's a test patch for the finishing colour. I am having chrome silver all over. By Saturday it should be complete ready for the spray booth
  2. There are several different techniques to remove eggs depending if the egg was created by hitting the spokes or the rim and which part was hit. And in some cases to get it straght can mean hammering the rim back. Are we talking mm or a huge flat spot
  3. Sounds bad you will probbably be better getting the wheel in the hands of a wheel builder
  4. So far just half built here's the progress. A big thanks to josh
  5. just a quick edit found some pallets and couldn't resist
  6. motor bike 10w oil will work ok with the tora fork. you should be using 7.5w oil thou, use it if you can get it. but most motorbike oils come 5w, 10w, 15, and so on motor bike fork oil will cost around £6-8 bike oil will cost £10-15
  7. My shoulders seem to take a beating after a long ride. A good days rest sorts it though. Sprained ankle seems to be the most common ride ending injury though
  8. He is using them on his dj bike says at the top
  9. theres loads here to help you check the problems http://www.sram.com/service/rockshox/7,105
  10. were they secondhand, they could have allready leaked. i will need to know a few things to be 100% sure of the problem mate your tora forks do they have a polished chrome finish on the legs or is it anodized alloy if steel then its very likely the above problem, you can check this by taking the circlip off the damper lever and use a 24mm socket to remove the compression damper check the oil levels in there the oil should come into contact with the compresion damper just before you screw it back in. if its the alloy version you can check the same, if its empty try filling it back up to the correct oil level, then if it leaks again you will need a new seal head on the fork leg ( this part is not replaceble on the steel fork ) all of this is the most common faults on this fork. if it is not either of these you have a blown rebound damper and a new one will be around £50
  11. i have loads of these schwalbe tubes. if it a schwalbe its written on the tube
  12. i would say its a chain recation from riders like chris agrigg, ryan leech and geoff lenosky who have inspired riders like ali, danny ect to make the videos that are inspiring a whole load of new riders to the sport, from dirt jump riders to bmx riders. the more riders come to the sport from other types of bike skills they will bring along different styles and new moves that will inspire a new generation of riders.
  13. The damper oil in the right leg is ruined or leaked out. Common problems are the oil leaking on the steel leged tora forks which you will need new crown steerer and legs at around £100
  14. Lucky guy. The formula brakes seem to be hit and miss. Buy one and if it feels crap or even not quite right then get another on warrany until you get a good one. Then just keep it nice and clean dirt, saly and brake dust is kyriptonite to formulas avids and all magnesium alloy brakes
  15. I would let the tension off the whole wheel then replace all the broken nipples and start from the begining as if i had just laced the wheel up new
  16. Go to Google and search. Sheldon brown gear calculator. On the he has gain ratios which does calculate including wheel size and crank length, even Tyre size happy dayz hope this fixes your gearbox
  17. Some find it helps to turn the bars the way there turning
  18. Each link is to the parts you need for a shimano brake as the rotor and mounts come seperatly
  19. send the formula back and change it for this http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=83173 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=6052 and the adaptor for your bike http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Categories.aspx?CategoryID=563 dont use a formular brake you will be disapointed. very disapointed the saint would cost him more as he needs to buy rotor and mount aswell
  20. identiti jekles are on special offer prices all over the web
  21. Hope axles snapping on the 12mm through is also common place on orange 5's and alpines. It's a shame they don't offer a steel axle
  22. Disc brake cleaner or electrical contact cleaner works best, because it degreaces at the same time
