Its the same process, apart from you pull the old sleeve out*... *only possible on some models of brake - send it back to Hope if in doubt (Y)

Was just about to say that - I've been ripping them away, haha

Whats this called? A Googlesomethingelse? (Y) http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=...ophobia&spell=1

Quick guide - this never fails when done correctly. Attach a bleed pipe to the slave cylinder, and put the pipe into the presta fitment of a track pump, or an air line. Remove bleed screw from the lever. This bit can get messy, go slow at first, and then use a rag to catch all the flying fluid/water: blast air through the system to clean it all out nicely. When this is done, put a couple of drops of chain lube on the seals in your lever, pull it a few times to work the lube around, and then wipe off the excess. Turn all TPA off. Re-bleed with water/water-antifreeze mix. When its all bled correctly, put the TPA fully on and depress the lever (elastic band (Y)" ). Push one of the slave pistons in by hand, and put a few drops of lube on the other one (WD40 also works ok). Then repeat for the other cylinder. Take the TPA off, remove elastic band, and pull the lever a few times to work the lube in. Wipe off the excess. If all done correctly, this will have your brake feeling better than new (Y)

You need a pair of small internal circlip pliers, some goggles, and a bit of patience! Disconnect the hose from the lever (be careful of Dot fluid spillage), remove the lever blade, to leave the push rod sticking out of the lever. Pull the black dust seal off, to reveal the circlip and brass washer. The circlip will come out with a bit of effort, and the piston will pop out along with the spring. Then, just work backwards, and re-bleed - job done (Y)

Another small update - I've just added some wallpapers for download (Y) Go to http://www.tartybikes.co.uk, and click on the 'media' tab at the top of the page. You may need to refresh (Ctrl+F5) in order to see it. Enjoy (Y) Cheers, Adam

Hehe, I think it was Dan (my mate from school, lives with Matt). Tasty :(

And its the same opinion you'll get from Hope themselves should you ask :(

Hahaha, awesome, thanks :(

I think thats why your quotes are high. Even with a 1.1l, you'll be paying £1k+... Mines only a baby 1124cc.

For me: Peugeot 106. 3rd party F&T. No pass plus. ~ £1400

I would say your first point about getting used to it is right - its a VERY different machine to yours Tom! We agree that it doesnt ride like a Vinco, because it has different geometry (Vinco geometry is well-published, in fact). The geometry is simply what, to us, seemed like a promising experiment :D Cheers for the support! :D Credit to Dave as well please :D We only tweaked one thing for now, just as an experiment - if theres more mileage in it, there will be more tweaking. But yeah, I agree with you, and to quote Dave: 'Rider designed/influenced trials components for trials riders, that's what we're in to'.

And try to touch all the ladies' bums (and more :D" ), but they have none of it :D

We recommend a 122.5 axle here at Tartybikes (for ISIS cranks) Green spacers? Tart :D :D"

http://www.powerskip.de/photogallery.html The bloke is so cheesy, haha. He has to jump over a fence just before the car too, nice :D

That first prototype is a Rex with a high BB (and slightly different top tube), yes. And that sort of thing is for us to worry about Tomm :D

Basically, a few months back, Dave and myself were wondering how a higher BB affects how a bike rides... any benefits, drawbacks etc. From TRA's mini Vinco review a few weeks back, it appears theres not many drawbacks. Anyway, the frame arrived a couple of weeks ago, and since then its been passed around a couple of riders for their opinions. The jury is still out, but we thought you might like to see it. (click to enlarge) Couple of pics of it being ridden: Dave chilling out on it at Ogwen today Ben Lee with a nice sidehop at Ogwen today, a couple of minutes after first riding it TartyBikes rider Damon Watson with a nice sidehop over a railing in Llandudno on Friday evening Geometry of this first prototype is: - 1100mm wheelbase - 85mm BB rise (both with Fatty forks) - 380mm chainstays - ~72 degree head angle - Custom made 140mm x 40 degree stem (a little too high, we feel... calculator must have been broken :D" ) - 4.75" frame size Well, thats all I think. Cheers, Adam

George is right you know :ermm:

'Soon' hasn't really been quantified yet. Im considering carrying out even more testing, since theres been a new development. Sorry thats not the answer you were after! http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=saleable :P Bren, the Echo 'Freewheel' cranks on the website are those on that Control you posted a picture of :P They also fit fixed sprockets as Matt said (its the same thread)... i'll update the description now. Cheers

Haha, nice... how can that be a minor though? Thats just daft :) Nice one though! :P

Size is 9/16" x 20 tpi :S

Sounds about right! There needs to be a trials-specific tensioner, our demands are very different to anyone elses!

Not before 6:30pm tomorrow though!

Indeed it is :P

Before and after!
