Hey all... just got bought some 2nd hand echo cranks with 18t chainring, bash and VP BB, and ive noticed the chainring wobbles slightly from side to side when i spin the cranks. The bb and cranks are tight.
I dont think its a problem though - as i had the same problem on one of my old bikes with 2 sets of cranks - just wondering why this happens? Anyone know?

The t-bird is 24:18
and most mod riders use 18:12, with front freewheel, or with a freehub (e.g profile). I use a profile with 12t and an 18t front sprocket
Dunno whether to get reds or greens now :turned: . Greens are cheaper and last longer, and i do quite a lot of front wheel rolling moves so maybe theyre best...
Need to order 'em today too

Just noticed....thats a link to the green pads and they dont have reds for a hope mini :o (Y)
Edit: found some on bonthrone bikes though :( good old froogle.
I use this one

and its very good (Y). Or theres a non-wireless option if your just using cable.
Ages ago my mate found a small piece of wood in his haribo mix, so he wrote them a letter. Turned out the piece of wood came off the little moulding things, and he got about 5 huge bags of haribo free! (Y) :S
worth writing to them i say
My brake never seemed to work a while ago until i tried one of tartys grinds when i bought a rim off him - and it honked like a bee-hatch. I used to do sorta file-like grinds before...where it feels really deep. But tartys felt different, and it feels a lot more 'grippy' but not as harsh - so maybe its the grind? I'm now grinding like that and my brakes work fine - same pads etc etc.
Cheers guys, found some for £13. I've been looking and most reviews say they wear down fast though (but obviously for DH, XC etc.) - how long should i expect them to lost for trials?
Need to replace my hope disc pads as they got contaminated and i burned them on the hob for a little too long... :angry: so the compound came off the backing.

Hey all......i need some new pads for my hope mini disc - what would you recommend? I looked on CRC and for the hope pads theres sintered and composite pads - which one are the ones supplied with the disc brake?
Cheers.

The pics on the side of each page i nicked off google images (N) lol. Just searched for 'bike art', 'people', 'train line' etc etc.
And all the photos in the media section in oxford, which is a good place to ride (N) .
Thanks for all the input guys! Will have a video out soon hopefully.
