  1. Horizontal dropouts, normal 'round hole' disc mounts, that's all you need.
  2. It'll be 356 I think, then nearer 358 with the chain stretch. You can't put 'proper' geo sometimes or it blows people's minds not seeing round numbers If you have vertical dropouts, you will need some sort of tensioner, because of the chain stretch. 2mm extra length makes a chain VERY flappy.
  3. LOL. Right click, view image info, dimensions... 500 x 476.
  4. 1% chain stretch = time to change it. So that's... about 2mm for a 400mm chainstay.
  5. That's because you're an idiot and should really be driving a turbo diesel?
  6. First one I clicked on... I do see what you mean though - I just think 'powerful' cars should be revved as that's half the fun!
  7. If it's due to 'left-right' clearance, rather than wheel diameter, yes.
  8. ET is the offset, in mm, from the centre of wheel to the face where it fits the against hub. So - if you currently have ET38 wheels, and you got some ET40s, they would sit 2mm further inwards. If you got some ET28s, they would sit 10mm further out. With you current ET38 wheels, this means that 'positive offset' on the diagram below measures 38mm: Hope that make sense?! Surely that must drive weird though, with the power tailing off after 4700 rpm?
  9. With no chain stretch: 358.6, 371.3 or 384.0. These might not all be PERFECT, but they should be close enough... http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/images/custom/sprockets/chainstay.xls
  10. Wish you were a bit closer, never mind!
  11. Tap water + antifreeze from your local car dealer = all you need. Or even neat antifreeze. It has anti corrosive and lubricational properties. Edit: Obviously that's not a professional recommendation
  12. Looks like great fun! What happened at 4:12? Does the course deliberately go off road so suddenly? Looks like a right car-killer Is the car really understeery on turn in, or does it just have a slow steering rack? (I have no sound so can't listen to the tyres...)
  13. The paperwork will be in there, otherwise we can't pick the spokes usually with the receipt or wrapped up in the spokes. 3x disc, 2x non disc sounds about right though.
  14. Because everything is bedded in perfectly and working well. Video looks fine - just keep practicing!
  15. This was about... 8? years ago. I call it a bodge, but it was some brazed steel adaptors to fit HS33 pads to V brakes, which were actually pretty nice (excepting the screws).
  16. Haha, sorry. But I am aware that is a weird one. I have no idea why, probably my bodged pads
  17. Mine were Ultimates and really noisy
  18. Because most are. Mine were very loud too.
  19. Yeah, they act pretty much like a wedge. That's one of the reasons why hard pads (Phat pads, Heatsink yellow) offer 'good bite' and are really loud - they don't squash as much during the initial application of the brake, just vibrate instead.
  20. No (well, much less) pad wobble.
  21. Bite - no. Noise - no. Hold - yes, probably better.
  22. Then you need to get a better car
