This sounds like it is coming together as a good ride, may join you on that one? Is it still 11 at Sheel or earlier? Is anyone coming from Ipswich/Colchester way as I don't want to be on my own?
-
Yes I suppose they do although they aren't meant to do your pecs and shoulder because you are meant to keep your arm still when you use them and just use your wrist, but yes now thinking about it they must improve your grips as well, sorry. I can only get it up to 10k.
-
Smo, Powerballs are awesome I have one but they do not strengthen your fingers they strengthen your wrist. The brake levers and springs idea is a very good one well done BAZZA
-
18:12 I think that is a standard gear ratio but I am not altogether sure. Works well for me though!
-
I would save the money and get the standard one and then spend 10 minutes just unscrewing it, loctiting it and then screwing it up again really tight. It has worked for me
-
There are a few different choices but a lot of it is down to prefernce between 1) price 2) hydraulic and mechanical just to name a couple.
The ones most used and best in my opinion are:
Hope Mono Mini
Hope Mono Trial
Hope M4 (little powerful in my opinion)
Avid Juicy 5
Avid BB7
Avid BB5 (same as BB7 with less adjustability)
Will add more if any come to mind. Hope this helps

Proven by who and what laboratory. I think You'll find that the vast majority of riders use nothing but water and maybe anti-freeze. Much snappier feel + response....
I have spoken to a few people who have said the same thing including XC riders etc.
Sorry I haven't tried water so I may find it is snappier as you say but I would also like to point out that over time water will gradually wreck the inners of your Magura unlike oil which won't. -
I am afraid you are wrong there mate the best stuff proven so far has been Citroen Hydraulic LHM oil. It is superb as I have it in my maggie at the moment. If you pop along to your nearest garage if they have it I think it is only about £5 for a litre which is a great price.
Hope this helps

Very cool logo Sam, would be even better if you could make those arrows into tyre tread marks.

Where can you get rimjams from i've looked all over but i can never find them??"
If you find Wally on this forum he will be able to sort you out for sure.

Good video and some good filming. I especially like the gap to front wheel!
Keep it up and make sure you wear a lid next time. -
Search the rest of the sight I am sure there have been other topics on which disks are best for grinding rims. I will get a picture of my rim for you later on msn if you want but i suggest if you want a light grind go for the course sandpaper.
-
I have two disks I tried:
The Metal Grinding disk which was good for permanent grinds that would lasta long time although it did look a bit messy!
and
Very course sandpaper disk. It does sound odd but I wanted a fairly light grind and this did the job perfectly. It was very easy to control and made a lovely tidy job.
I would not recommend a metal cutting disk though because it is a lot harder to carefully control and one slip and your done for.
Hope this helps

CraigleeScott stickers look horrible take them off but keep the zoo ones on they look ok. Other than that your bike is seriously nice kit. Good Effort!
-
I am not sure where you can get them from, probably Clean Bikes, but the Monty X-hydra forks are nice and strong and I would imagine fairly cheap also. Have a look into them.
-
Good Pics and some great riding but I do not see any helmets on in any of the pics. Stick one on its not cool to have concussion.
-
Hi after repairing my rear hose I have discovered I don't have anything left to bleed it with. What sunstances has everyone used or recommend and which are a definate no no?
Thanks

Chris Akrigg does a nice backwards stoppie down a hill on one of the free MBUK DVD's. Try that.
-
Saw Gee race the Clio yesterday, a great bit of filming and another win for bikes over cars! >_<
-
Add me to MSN I will defianately be riding ippy over winter if weather is correct with a couple of mates and Paul IF he's not working! Add me to msn: trialsking@hotmail.co.uk
-
Paul you might have to give me a ride if I can get my rear brake fixed, speak to you on MSN about it.
-
Rub your current one down with 120 grit sandpaper very lightly, as long as you don't hit metal you will be fine. The problem is the welds. For mine I used a "Dremel"(little electric type thing with assorted ends?. Then voila you have a frame ready for spraying.
-
They are only made specifically for Monty bikes. On Monty bikes there are 2 holes drilled into the frame from the underside of the frame where your brakes are bolted on. These boosters bolt into these holes instead of, as a conventional booster does, bolting onto the top of the rear brake.
Hope this helps.
-
He is not asking which brake booster to get he wanted to know IF Monty make a rear brake booster?

Chain Reaction Cycles is a good online shop as well for less specific bike stuff. And yes Tartybikes is very good as most people will agree. If you are considering 2nd hand parts don't look any further than this site here as the stuff I have bought from TF has been well worth the money.
Hope this helps
