Oh my god people. You'll need: A drill and a 5mm drill bitA bolt from somwhere like a stem, i think its an m5 threaded allen key boltAllen keycross head screwdriverAnd now you'll need to:Remove the high and low adjustment screwsget the drill with drill bit inserted and drill plugged inGet the drill and start drilling a roughly straight hole through the adjustment screw hole nearest the mech hanger, i think its the low adjustment screwdrill the hole out so its now a 5mm holeget the bolt and place it at the beginning of the holeinsert allen key into head of bolt and begin to twist it in, this will cut a thread into your freshly drilled holekeep going at it till you see the bolt starting to make an effect as it pushes against the adjustment tab in the mech, it will slowly and surely allow you to choose where abouts you want the mech to sit.if neccessary ease the bolt out and lube it up a bit to ease the thread cutting, or get a friend to take over for a bit... be careful though the bolt might have gotten a tad bit warm.Now you have a mech that can be accurately adjusted with a standard allen key no more chain skipping. Should look like the following attachment. This no means that the barrel adjuster tab is not needed so if you wanted to save weight/create a stronger landing point for misplaced sidehops you can angle grinder it off. EDIT: Just realised though that this will be making your mech single speed only, i got confused when dave said use a spoke. If your intending to use gears then mr tomnewbold is entriely correct, drill it out and use the barrel adjuster on the shifter to adjust the chain line.

Sorry i robbed that turn off you. ^^^up the thread a couple of posts^^^ Yeah most of the staples clips had been seen before, and there were other clips that were the same, still about 70% of it though was stuff i hadn't seen before, and about 45% of it was in locations i hadn't seen before so that made up for it in a way.

£8 and 40 minutes on thwe train and i can be in birmingham new street station

B,N.. B,N... DOO DOO DEE DOO DOO B,N.. B,N... DOO DOO DEE DUM

So am i right in thinking that the engagement points are inside the freewheel? Yes, i am. So it doesn't matter where abouts the damn thing is on the bike it will always have the same amount of engagement points, because you measure them by the amount of grooves in the freewheel/freehub ratchet area and times them by the amount of pawls that are engaging. Not how many pawls are touching the ratchet but how many sets of pawls are touching it. For example, my hope xc has 24 ratchet grooves if i remember rightly and has 3 pawls that all engage at the same time. therefore 24 x 1 set = 24 engagements. The new hope trials hub has the same number of grooves in the ratchet but has 4 pawls that are offset so two are engaged while the other two aren't so 24 x 2 = 48 engagement points. What you mean is that you're going to have more clicks per wheel rotation or crank rotation or something, but as mark and i have both said the actual number of engagement points doesn't change. Because it's never going to happen. Still a g-spoon now am i?

Sorry i'm not going to be able to make it in today because i have a migrane.

I have a feeling that this will be more than likely be because of a physical connection problem with your friends line, my cousin is the same with his wanadoo broadband... anybody opens and then closes the front door slightly too hard and he's been disconnected. I am with tiscali braodband and its great, with 8 days of us signing up we had the modem and within an hour of opening it both computers could use the internet, though not at the same time with it being the single modem. My connection speed is 2.2meg and its got a very fast download speed usually get around 150-200kb/s when downloading from tv.isg.si. We now have a netgear router and two computers use the connection, and its fine for me to be playing cs:s while my sister is on msn and browsing the net... there is a slight raise in my latency and ping but not a lot, my ping never exceeds 70. no lag either so thats alright. Never been disconnected when doing something either, though there is a clause for fair usage, but this only means don't go whacking file sharing programs on between 16:00 and 23:00 in the evening Playing counter strike and downloading the odd riding vid is fine, just leave downloading lost/scrubs/supernatural till after 11:00 or in the morning. £14.99 a month no hidden charges not bad at all.

I got mine in the post this morning, i immediately opened it and watched it with my uncle and cousin... I don't think they were amazingly thrilled to be watching the entire dvd (until the bails section anyway). I don't really know what i expected from it and was confused when the main menu came up, i think i expected something more than that :$ . It was a good dvd, and i liked the fact that i could see everyone riding all these famous spots from like london and leeds etc. in perfect full screen quality as opposed to downloaded low quality internet videos. However, i found that there was a little too much hip hop used... Enough to make the riding seem a bit samey in these sections although from the way it was edited it was clear that it was supposed to make it seemed chilled and flowy, so chilled i almost fell asleep, no joke :$ ! I was mega tired from a late night before though and riding vids quite often send me to sleep. Aside from hose little niggles it was great, well worth the money. Loving tony blair turning into mr scott on a billboard.

Yep 6 it is, thats why the hope pro trials hub is designed to run six gears. Just incase anyone didn't know. :$

LOL, Nice that you got it sorted, sorry about the hanger though. At first you'll feel like your rimming out if you really give it some which you kind of are but its not that big of a deal and eventually you'll get used to it.

This might seem like rubbing it in to the other new members but what the hell, Congratulations to hill_393 on becoming a full member. See how he's typing correctly and being nice... do the same and you will be with us soon enough!

Two contradictory statements, how can it have more engagement points on the back? Thats utterly stupid, you don't honestly think the internals of the freehub change when you swap it between the back and the front? Right, _skj0lsvik_ LISTEN to what EVERYONE IS SAYING!!!! Whats the point in asking people if all your going to do throughout the thread is be stubborn and do the opposite? If your going for a hub get a hope xc, cheap and reliable. What do you want more engagement points for anyway? If your going to get a freewheel get a single speed rear hub, THE FREEWHEEL WILL GO ON THE HUB so there's no need to by new cranks and a fixed rear hub and new rim.

Its actually easier to pinch it if the tyre pressure is higher, I tried pumping my tyre up a lot and got 3 punctures in one day, let some air out to about 25 psi and i havn't had one since. 50 psi sounds a bit too hard anyway mate. Bend your knees when you land?

Another red vote from me, mind you i am a bit biased towards it because its my favourite colour. The gold will attract the chavs as well... i was out with a couple of mates once and we were talking to these right old beaumont leys chavs, the kind that would knife someone for a bike. And they said that despite the fact we were telling them that jays bike was a £2500 kona (which its not) they would rather steal my mates 24 seven because it had gold hubs and matching gold resivoir caps on the hope mini brakes. Apparantly it would be easier to sell on because of the extra bling factor to it. Might be worth considering.

Already been done... read the thread!

Paint for the win!! attachment luke.bmp

Anybody know what time it is in that picture? (5 past 3) What the hell is this picture? Have a look at the bus on the road on the right of the picture, its morphing into a car! EDIT: Ther's also half a man on the left path near a cycleing sign

Well surely it would be a 360 drop off from the front wheel then? Tapping and gapping from one side of a skip over the broken window, hoover, radiator and paint cans that were in the middle of it to the other side. Once i'd done it the first time though doing it again was easy. EDIT: the actual scariest thing i've done was side hopping over this really hot girl when she was lying on the floor. I so didn't want to hit her because she was damn fine and i'd been drinking for most of the afternoon. I made it and didn't hurt her though which was good!

But its bound to hydrogen atoms you need actual air in your brakes for them to corrode and it shouldn't be there anyway if yuo've bled it properly.

Dude that wasn't being bitchy! He's right though.. you can't expect to be validated and allowed to sell things in the full members area if you don't bother posting a lot and if they're rubbish posts. The mods won't want you to come in and join the other members if you don't contribute anything. Sounds like your a fag 2 biatch! <<< that was bitchy! Seriously though, it quite clearly states that new members can't post links to ebay auctions or advertise them selling something in any way on the forum till they've become validated. Which brings about the next point that you kept asking the mods/admin why you hadn't been validated yet and telling them to "upgrade you" as you put it. It's at the top of every page, and yet you failed to adhere to it and now you wonder why you weren't validated. Admittedly the sarcastic message about your ebay thread might not have been neccesary but if you have been repeatedly annoying the mods with validation messages then you most probably deserved it. Hell you deserved it for not bothering with the rules.... they're not exactly hard ones are they? As for making another topic about it, just leave it now its run its course. You'd be more likely to become validated if you put it behind you and tried to be polite and friendly and helpful in other topics instead of bringing the subject up again and looking like a whining little child. If you wanted to apologise you could have just pm'd them to say sorry i'm sure that would have done you a whole load of good and might have helped get you validated by showing the mods you are responsible enough to take the time to pm them instead of quickly making a thread that will most likely spark off more arguments and excite the other new members into thinking that they can make these kind of threads as well.

I'm sure it will be deleted fairly soon. This sounds dodgy as, especially with you not even being a full member yet. I would help you but the way you can't seem to work a simple thing like a spellchecker leads me to beleive there will be a catch somewhere that you havn't noticed. Basically i don't really trust you enough to do it. Sorry :$

And that would be why they all break. You're scared of breaking youre bike and its making you think about it, if you just try and realise that it's only a bike and that its completely replaceable and just forget about it when you're riding you should find you stop breaking them. Out of mind out of ermmm.... realms of it possibly happening? I don't like rail gaps. I wouldn't say scared i just don't like the way they feel when i'm on them. The thought of plowing into a tree at 30-50 mph when downhilling scares me quite a bit, but everythings going so fast you don't really have time toi think about it anyway. There are brief moments when i'm about to tap a wall that will scare me, when you kind of stand back and think "f**k me thats huge!! i'm not doing that" i just try and give it a go anyway, usually after several failed attempts i get enough confidence to smack it and jump enough.

I'm guessing they're problem is they only bled the hoses with water... you need to do the whole brake Whats not good about it then? But if you were a good mechanic you would know that discs heat up, so if you put water into it there could always be the possiblity of the water getting too warm in the hose and expanding or even boiling. Magura's aren't designed for other pads are they? But i'm going to be guessing that theres hardly anybody riding that is still using blacks or kool stop pads. My brake has been bled with water since last year and it runs so much nicer than when it had water in it. I have never had any issues with it apart from when i first did it and there was still some oily gunk left in there, this made it feel horrible which is what the majority of people do the first time they bleed the maggies with water all i did was rebleed it and all the oil was gone. Since then i've just periodically rebled it every couple of months and its been absolutely fine. Don't be a pussy, put water in your brakes and a grind on your rim!!

For christs sake hit the spellcheck button before you post!! There is nothing wrong with trying things out to see if they work, if nobody did we'd still be riding on cross country frames. The way mike did it was to get an old inner tube and cut it open, then placing the tyre onto the rim with the flaps of the old inner tube sticking out over the rims sidewalls. Then put the slime in through the valve and pumped it up, then just ran around the edges cutting off the excess flaps of the old inner tube Nothing you posted then was useful so why bother?

You don't even need a vice. You can get an old pice of chain and wrap it round your foot then stand on it, put the other end round the cog and get your mate to help you turn the wheel... just bear with the pain as the chain tightens around your foot. It should just eventually undo... they are tough though so don't give up. Try spraying wd-40 all round it first as well, it might soak into the gaps between the threads and help budge it a bit easier.
