The idea is, that you fill the reservoir right to the top, then push in the top cap/diaphragm, so theres no air room. When you pump the brake, the diaphragm is 'sucked' downwards. So, unfortunately not... nice idea though!

Haha, I know, the drop is about 10ft to the floor :) Same here, far too cheesy, but I just had to do it (Y) Sorry Phil, wasn't really trying to 'show it off as my own'... Just show people some pictures.

Thanks for the comments people! http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/cheesomatic.jpg - Uber-Cheese in 1024x768 (Y) Ads

I run about 25 on my pump, front and rear.

A sharp grind is what you need. Don't go too deep.

More pics added down the topic... or click here :P Just some pics (Ben Slinger, Dave Gill, Tom Rigg) I've been snapping away at over the last few rides. We've got some pretty decent natty up here, so I've been riding that about 5 times a week or more, along with a few other guys up here :P If anyone fancies a ride at these spots, get in touch and I'm sure we can sort summat out! :P Will be riding at both of them over the course of this weekend I should think. Theyre both within 20 mins of J34 and J35 of the M6. Pics aren't really sorted out... I just numbered them for ease of typing: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/1.jpg http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/2.jpg http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/3.jpg http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/4.jpg http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/5.jpg http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/6.jpg http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/7.jpg http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/8.jpg http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/9.jpg http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/10.jpg http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/11.jpg http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/12.jpg http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/13.jpg http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/14.jpg http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/15.jpg http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/16.jpg http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/riding/17.jpg Any comments etc welcome...

:P

Same difference :P

Haha, that'll be Gamo :P

Get yourself some red heat shrink tubing, and wrap it around your existing hose? :P

10mm holes will save 2/10th of sod all weight... just leave it and save yourself some hassle (Y)

Dot 4 is less prone to ingress of water... and since it doesn't really get hot for trials, you might as well bleed it fully so its got Dot 4 in it (Y)

Well, decided to go with BT, since we have a phone line with them. Ordered no problems, due to be installed yesterday, rang them this morning since it wasn't working... 'Oh yeah, we're gonna have to get a new line installed for you'. Lay a new line for ONE person for 1.5 miles? I think not. New hate list: All Telephone Companies, haha.

Just a quick question back at you Matthew - which rim do you have? A 721CD, or a 721 Ceramic? Theres a bit of conflict between your title, and the thread, thats all! Cheers

More likely to be your brake setup. Check theyre parallel to the rim. And then leave your brake to bed in :blink:

Austin, you're a hairdresser, you bum everyone (Y) It may well be true that theres some things certain cadet riders can make than Ben can't, however, to win a higher class, it must mean he is better at other moves - tis just the way it is! Another title for a British rider, nice one Ben (Y)

Txt tlk filter (Y) haha All the ones I've used have been crap. Probably work fine on mod bikes though!

Haha, I Googled, found loads (Y) And here starts the 'I'll make my own pads' fad over again... I wonder if we'll end with with a couple more new companies from it, hehe!

Got a pic of a grind you've done with it? Preferably not one that takes 30 minutes to load on 56k (Y)

Aldi do a mixed pack of 12 stone and metal cutting discs for about £4, I've found them to work well.

Lash your rim with water, ride around with the brake on for a bit, then clean off the excess water with some loo roll. Works a treat - you get loads of mucky crap off!

Haha, I know, I think it was originally gonna be 1065 and 1100... but 1066 and 1099 sounds better (Y)

Yeah, dampening the vibrations also helps to reduce noise.

Pad wear is DEFINITELY linked to heat, in fact I've been told its pretty much the only method in which brake pad material wears.
