You'll need a 215mm rotor. Adam

The nature of trials makes it almost impossible to offer 'test' bikes (in the proper sense of the word anyway, not just a 'lets hop on the back wheel for a bit'). Anyway, full build Onza bikes are often in stock, and I'm sure Dave would be available to show you parts if a convenient time was arranged. Hope that helps, Adam PS: Dave is available for £3.99 with free postage!

Hope 'Gold' being the closest to yellow :turned: Adam

Okey dokey :turned: What sort of squealing? Very high pitched, or more of a 'vibrating'? The first one means your brake is working well, the second means your mounts need facing and the caliper re-aligning. Either way, having the brake over-full won't help with the rubbing. Wheres the leaking from? The little square hole on the side? If so, just wipe it up, that perfectly normal after a brake has been bled, and will stop soon.

1) Loosen all rotor bolts by half a turn. Grab the rotor by the 'arms', and rotate it anticlockwise, while you tighten the bolts up. The centres the rotor on the hub. 2) Put bike upside down, loosen caliper bolts, and pull the caliper away from the hub by hand. Then tighten the bolts again while keeping the caliper held in that position. That should help, if not, shout back :turned: Adam

What exactly is wrong now Mike? If you could outline the problems one by one please, I can tell you the solutions. You don't wanna go filling the reservoir up all the way (with the pistons out), since it then allows no room for heat expansion, and won't let your pads retract - hence the rubbing If the pistons are sticking, you need to lube them. Use silicone spray (the sort of thing car garages use on car dashboards to make them look shiny) to do this.

As has been discussed in this thread, we're onto it, and already much closer than a couple of days ago :D I must agree that the Plazmatics I'm currently running are rather sweet. They seem to be a of a benchmark... But like you said Chris, Steve's put a lot of time into the finer points of pad production, so we're hoping that, with the extra bits and bobs of knowledge I can contribute (including testing/feedback of the pads, alongside Dave), the compound can be finally nailed. Theres certainly been a few interesting discoveries already (Y) Are the pads set up PERFECTLY square? Without a grind to bed them it, it will take a long time for them to reach full performance. Adding tar doesn't really help - it just acts as a barrier between pad and rim, so they'll never bed in! I tried some yesterday on Stan's bike (dead, light grind) and they were pretty good. I'm yet to try them on a fresh light grind, but the ones I used were on my uber-fresh (and pretty harsh) grind didn't seem to like it - hence the new recommendation for Konigs on light grinds/smooth rims, with further development being carried out on a harsh grind brake pad.

The new hubs include integrated snail cams, which can be seen in pictures on various websites :turned:

And thus leaving you with no stress on the freehub body (N) So theres your solution, haha. Nah, seriously, it doesn't make a discernable difference.

The firm? We do our own custom stickers (N) The font is 'Motorcycle Emptiness' (Cheers to Ian @ Onza) - http://www.searchfreefonts.com/archive/zip/motoe.zip. Well, thats bloomin close anyhow!

Depends what you're used to I guess - currently in a 1.1....

Mong, I love you, I'm in exactly the same situation :- Was looking at something like a 1.4 Focus (dunno which spec yet), or maybe an Astra, or Skoda... but yeah... good thread :D

Cheers Jono, will probably give you a shout :( The problem arose when the people who moved into our old house (we moved 3 doors away) stole our old line - so they now have 2, and we ended up with no phone :D Surely it would make more sense to put both their lines as 'shared'? Probably worth speaking to BT like you said Dan... altho they were completely useless in trying to resolve our 'no phone' problem a while back :- Cheers guys.

100mm x 25 degree, 25.4mm clamp (Spec 1 bike)

Never really thought about this much before, but I have read statistics that a radial wheel is 15-20% stiffer SIDEWAYS than a 3x one. When it comes to torque... I would have thought more crosses would equal better power transfer - since the spokes are more tangential to the hub. I feel a doodle coing on... :- Its pretty much impossible to tell on a bike which wheel is stiffer, unless you keep EVERYTHING else the same, and change just the wheel. Is that what you've done Wayne? Edit: Picture

Yeah, had NTL at my house at uni... they were pretty good. However theres not a hope in hell of getting them to lay cables out here :S Might be just worth me speaking to loads of them, and seeing if any are willing to give BT a good kick up the arse and sort our phone line?

Right, we're on a shared line, which makes my 56k modem go at 31.2k - infuriating to say the least! So, looking to get broadband... however we're in the middle of nowhere (haven't even got gas, haha), so its proving tricky - especially with the damn shared line :S I've ordered a service with Bullshit (oops, meant Bulldog) Broadband (now on my 'hate list' along with O2), who managed to get my order wrong, and then lose it, so I don't particularly fancy going with them. So, anyone got any suggestions please? Looking for a 1 or 2 Meg connection with no transfer limits and minimal setup costs. I've got everything needed except for a modem and filter. Thanks in advance for any help! Ads

You wanna be going for 128mm with a 22T ring :S

Go 3x. 260/262 :blink:

Any 203mm disc on a mod bike would be like a switch though :blink: For ultimate power, its gotta be a BB7. The Mono trial offers loads of modulation, great bite and power, and would be (well, it is) my choice. The only Hayes 9 I've tried was a 203mm, and it wasn't very good at all.

It's the Auto Power off, to save battery. Like Ben says, you may be able to turn the option off. My camera doesn't have such a option, but I just take the tape out, and that works (Y)

Filing will be no problem, although you can send it back should you wish :shifty:

Yep, me :P With the setup I described to you (Y)

Other: Home made.

It was indeed (Y) I'll try and get some contact details for you now... Edit: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=49830 :P Adam
