Was supposed to be buying some DH things off Stuart and I believe he's leaving for the army today. He hasn't replied to any of the 3 PMs I've sent him over yesterday and I don't have his phone number, address, msn (not on his profile) or anything. A mobile number or something would be fantastic as I desperately want some of the things he's selling. Thanks all

We have things called corners and roundabouts over here in the UK so the steering wheel is used much more and requires the use of the power"full" arm... I doubt that's the actual reason but meh, works for me.

Well really you should get the proper length spoke to fit the wheel.... But if you have to use that particular one, you could try tightening up a few of the spokes around the hole you're trying to get it in and loosen a few on the opposite side. That should move the wheel over enough so you may be able to start the nipple on the spoke's thread. Just remember it could be hard to correct the mishapenness you'll get from having tightened and loosened those spokes...

Paranoid? Hmmm let's see, there's a massive Nazi war machine that has conquered a large part of Europe and we know for a fact that they want to invade us, take control and then not allow us to have children so the British race effectively "dies out". Pillboxes a good idea? I think so.

Hmmmm tempting, I run XT 4 pots and the pads are the same as the mono M4. Think my EBC adaptor is for 203 rotors though... EDIT - Anyone know what material the centre of those rotors are? I know the braking surface will be some sort of stainless steel but is the centre a different grade of steel or a totally different alloy?

5wt. shock oil any good? Sorry, really want to ride and don't wanna wait til work tomorrow after which I'll be too tired lol I'm gunna leave the bearings as they are, as the hub's less than a year old and i can still see the white grease round the back of them. Plus I only have non chris king white grease lube stuff which probably isn't a good idea to put in. EDIT: Edit, just seen in another thread fatmike mentioned using Dr X's Xlite Bike Spray as a lube, I'm fairly sure I have some of that somewhere, is that any good?

BUUUUMP Just wondering if sewing machine oil will be light enough (even too light?) for lubing up the ringdrive? Just spun it up with WD-40 in there and it's insanely loud...

I wouldn't worry about it at all. This hub's been absolutely superb, any skips have been either when riding around or setting up. Only once or twice it has skipped during a gap and it hasn't done the *spin right round I'm going to kill you* skip at all, just shortly re-engaged after. If you take a look at the pictures you can see just how dirty it's gotten. I was shocked when I took a closer look to find relatively large lumps in there after reading on here that the slightest bit of dirt/contamination and you're totally bolloxed! Must be a good one or something Anywho I'll have a go at the toothbrush WD-40 storm when I get back later. I gave it a quick turn when I'd properly cleaned the drive shell last night and it already sounded *much* louder, and there was still mountains of crap in the ringdrive pieces. lol

Trials - viewing recommended before belief

Wow fast reply, really wasn't expecting one at all til tomorrow! haha Anyway, I'm gunna be using WD40 as I'm pretty sure that'll be better for cleaning it? And I'll buy some finishline XC chainlube stuff at work on Sunday to luuuuubbbbbe it all up when I put it back together. That'll be the right stuff ai? In relation to snapping things - I only have about 40% of the driveside axle biter left, is this anything to worry about or shall I just make doubly sure it's always biting the frame and not in the gap for putting in the wheel?

Ok my King had just done it's first proper skip (as in skipped and didn't re-engage shortly after as it has always done so far) so fearing for my life I decided it's time to give it a service and clean after about 5 months of abuse.... This is what I've managed to get out so far: But the thing getting me is how the f**k do I clean off all the stuff still in the hub!? I know a King tool costing half the earth is required to remove and/or replace the bearings but I'm certain I've heard people say it's perfectly possible to clean and service a King without this. What's left in the hub: So I'm wondering where do I go from here? I've left the cog and spacers on as I didn't see any real reason to remove them, should I whack them off? I've lost my tool so I'd rather not but I can borrow one from work easily enough. Will I have to clean all the stuff in the hub with it still *in* the hub!? This is all very frustrating and as you've probably figured out by now I don't really know what the hell I'm doing so any advice and even better, perhaps a step by step guide on servicing a King. Maybe one for the FAQ! And before anyone says, yes my engagement mechanism is absolutely filthy, I'm confused as to how I've survived this long with all that crap in there... Anyway thanks for any help - Shaun

But the arcade game is feckin awesome Especially when you play it with passengers hahaha I'll download tomorrow, I'm currently running on caffine trying to get my chemistry coursework which has to be handed in today.

Is it me or is it the same girl as January anyway?

LMFAO!!! Mint. My parents are pretty good I guess, they'll always *lend* me money but I'm the one who in the end pays for everything, with my two jobs. And when my T-Rex got nicked my mum gave me £200 towards buying a new bike so to be honest I think even my mum understands how much being able to get out on my bike means to me. It's a little harder for me though as I also have to maintain a freeride bike and it all adds up. I don't really have alot of "disposable income" haha All of you people being bought stuff need to stop complaining, you're much better off than you think. The majority of people on this forum pay for *all* their own stuff, often with very little parental support at all.

You have got to be kidding right? Unless he's doing plyometric training, I've seen rugby players jumping up mega high boxes for that explosive training.

I didn't really like it It seemed as if half of it was you falling off, the riding that was in was pretty good though. How long have you been riding?

I have no experience but hearing from people who've ridden/owned them on here they are supposedly not too nice. I'm also guessing from your avatar you're still a beginner, I'd stick with a +30ish bb rise frame at most.

That was immense!!! Absolutely brilliant video, the music was pretty cool and everything. More like that please.

That bike is the sex.

Probably best to play it safe and order the widest possible. 127.5mm I think it is. I've got tensiles on my T-Rex, I'm not sure on the BB width but it's definitely very wide and T-Rex's are known to be buggers for fitting cranks and BBs due to the wideness of the yoke.

Only louder

You can get the Try-All disc in 160mm foo'

hahahahahahahahaha Well I thought it was funny...
