All I can think of is to bring the top of the mount (where most force is) into alignment with the maximum line of force produced by the brake (on the face of the mounting tabs).

Who's got what? Sounds good! When are you back after hols? Just by riding Cheers man, here's a massive version as requested by mission_reefer_rider: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/media/morecamb...recambe-big.jpg Ads

No worries Found another one I quite like... And another background: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/media/mandl5-1-8/stan1280-2.jpg

Quite possibly... will probably stick a thread up if we do, keep your eyes peeled!

I think you might just have to Google for 'spank stiffy rim' or something then ring round to see if anyone has any left

http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/media/mandl5-1-8/stan1280.jpg Cheers tanker! Yeah it was pretty dece, you should have come too!

Waddy you dipper, Morecambe is Morecambe, Heysham is Heysham It's just down the coast from Morecambe - http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=54.045563&a...r=0&src=ggl - rocks all along the sea front.

Yeh sure Mat, what res? Thanks for the comments so far Ads

Like it Joe! That move on the wall/rail was sweet

I think we should turn this into a 'stupid riding faces' thread Here's my efforts from today:

Evening all, Just got back from a rather lengthy 2 rides joined into one, but was a good day Here's the pics: Phil tapping lol Same from other angle Gap over rail to floor Hook to... sort of 45 degrees. Didn't QUITE make it.. next time mate! Dropping in front of the town hall Gap Rolling down Gapping across to the wall Hanging ready for batman Setting up for a move (this was actually a test shot... but came out better than the 'real' one :$ ) Up to front-back Bunnyhop (nice facial expression) Getting ready for 180 up to front wheel (good face again) Mid-180 Landing (good face again, lol) Small gap up sideways to front wheel Church and reflection in canal Hope you like! Adam Edit: Forgot to say, thanks to Phil for the pics of me

Just built this up today, got some riding pics also which I will stick up shortly after editing. Geo is: 1085 wheelbase, +40mm BB, 383mm chainstays, 660mm reach, 72 degree head angle, weight 1.842kg (very Ozonys-like also!). Ads

We will

Bummer next time hopefully... I reckon we should go to Heysham

Echo riser bars: Lower rise but same sweep as the below. ZOO Riser, GU Riser, Czar Riser, latest V!Z Maxbar: All the same bars, same sweep as Echo risers but a little more rise. For something with more rise and sweep you need to look at: Monty, Try-All Rage or V!Z Pro700. Adam

Won't be riding til about 1ish... thinking maybe Blackburn, Blackpool (wind direction dependent) or anywhere else you think is worth riding? Ads

Sort of. If you make the rim very shallow it will flat spot very easily and be pretty weak in general. I would rather have a ~100g lighter rim and mean I have to align the tyre (10 second job - put SOME air in, go round checking the bead is set and then pump the rest) than having a heavier rim. Yeah, it would cost a lot to get new rim tooling made just to make it easier to put tyres on (it's the same rim as a Try-All).

Do I see some lines from photoshopping the floor out? Edit: Ah no, power lines? Still damn impressive! I wanna go

It's because they are single wall. More like 4mm (diameter - where it matters), hardly massive! As has been said a really old tyre stretches.

If you have a spare KMC stick that on instead, it will solve the problem. When brand new, the edges of the links on the Collapse chains are very 'square' and they can pop/bang on 20" bikes. The KMCs have chamfered edges on their plates and don't do this. If you carry on riding it does wear in though.

Only until Monday though eh

What chain do you have? How old is it? How old are the sprockets? It may not be an alignment issue.

Youch! I blame his jeans

Oops, it was 28th! Thats Patt from Grantham
