  1. The rear hub, in my opinion, is one of the best features of the Spyrogyra - it is a screw on model with a freewheel on the hub, so there is no freehub to break (Which can be a common issue on budget complete bikes.) Should the freewheel break then it's easy to replace and there's no need for a new wheelbuild either!
  2. As Joe says, we usually offer 5-10% discount (depends on the exact spec) for a full build, and always do free labour (approx 4 hours/£100's worth) while building it too. Cheers Adam
  3. But when coupled with the 'correct' (Try-All) forks - 35mm offset instead of 45mm - they ride totally differently... the 10mm less offset effectively gives the frame a 1 degree steeper head angle. Sharper steering, more agile on the front wheel. Regarding the first question - are you talking about a 20" or 26" frame?
  4. Seisimir (sp?) effect - the same as on disc brakes. Two very flat surfaces try and stick together Bike looks sweet, like the graffiti (sp?) pic!
  5. I was thinking about this also... I've not had people asking for them very often at all though (maybe once or twice ever)... I'd probably use some though
  6. Bitch Anyway, I should be on the motorway getting stuck in traffic by now, but I've done a new offer to keep the peace... lol. Ads
  7. Get the knife out - can shed nearly 100g from those tyres
  8. Pics: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=118084 Ads
  9. Just a few snaps from tonight... Only one of the areas is pictured, there will be many more when it's finished! Ali and snowboarder And again Ali drop Ali trackstanding Ali dropping Ali on dodgy rock Same with a bit of crafty photoshopping Most of the first completed area Ali sidehop shortly before near death Ads
  10. The Simtra offer still stands until I sort something else out!
  11. Front hub/skewer is pretty weighty... can save 100g there. Alloy nips? Parcel tape rim tape?
  12. I would say the bars and forks are what's 'letting it down' at the mo... the Try-All forks have 10mm less offset so they make the head angle effectively steeper... makes a big difference to how 'nippy' the bike feels. As for the bars, I have always found those a little 'straight' for my tastes - personal preference though I guess! And I quite like the red bits
  13. Yeah... our server has died... should be back up shortly
  14. Plastics, polymer, polyurethane, rubber suppliers etc
  15. There's thousands - check your local Yellow pages
  16. 4 days? Pah! Did mine in 52 hours
  17. Bit of an effort to change practically the whole bike just to run an inferior back brake
  18. Only takes one stroke per line by the way, if you're careful/crafty
  19. Like I said... it would take aaagees, haha.
  20. No lube required. As for the olive - it goes over the hose, not inside - you squash it on with the shroud nut

  22. Sorry Tim, certainly wasn't the intent, will change that if it's such a problem
