Hi all I want to try rimjams I can't find the guy selling rimjams... I know if I spent another hour just looking at random topics He'd appear with 'rimjams for sale' in his signature.. but life is too short. Did a search in for sale too. Can you help?

Rim holes are offset left to right to goto the hub flanges lest to right... Try ebay...

2mm either way is ok but in the end the wheel still has to be at tension, so if they are too long the the thread will run out before optimum tension. If too short the build will be well tricky and if you do get it up to tension then the nipples could break as they don't have as much thread inguaged. Wheel smith online spoke calculator...

sheldonbrown.com He's got a well explained method for lacing and the rest.

Sorry I haven't read the whole post... But I have tried this and it doesn't work, the leverage is all wrong, lever like a rock even with a bit of air bled in. But if you realy want your hs33 lever then use a julie caliper, the ratio is about spot on. I use a Shimano deore 525 lever with a magura marta caliper and that rocks but I couldn't say it is better that the marta lever, I just had some bit in my box. Hope this helps.

Well the digi is at work... But it just happens to be the last of 4 Cains finest bitter....mmmm....oh no only cheep asda OJ left.

Not just a copy or a re-branded Try all. They have eyelets and a rounder profile. I have no idea if the alloy is harder wearing than others on the market. As for designs I don't think you can go too wrong with a wide double walled eyeleted rim with big holes drilled in it. not too expensive to produce. The only other thing I'd do if I was designing them is make them deeper so the have a biger braking surface and more resistance to flat spotting. Saying that if they are made out of harder alloy... As they say on here... meh.... Oh yeah and the new Black 8 back rim is 42mm wide so it'll fit in my pashley better... cool I'll get one when the time comes.... do you think they'll do lime green ano?

I recently picked up a 1990 Primus double CD of a concert in Amsterdam, called Paradiso. I Have all their official releases but was wondering what else is out there. It seems to me that quite a few trials riders appreciate Les Claypool and the gang. There are two songs (Scared (My friend skinny) and Here I come) on paradiso, that aren't on official releases. Check the double ()^^^^ :blink: I've also got a live snippet of Les kicking off in the middle of Frizzle fry cause some guy spat on him... humour. You got anything unusual?

Hiya I'm planning to go camping this weekend in Wales and riding in Coed y brenin (tomorrow). Anyone in Wales know how the weather is looking there? Just build up my grilfriends new custom steel frame and we are keen to put it through it's paces. It's hosing down here in Liverpool. :blink:

Cover the brake in water and ride down hills with it half on until it stops honking like a goose then spray more water and repete until it works good. Also you said it was 475, Machanical right? Adjust the inboard static pads as close to the rotor as possable then use the barrel adjusted to get the lever reach you want. (don't touch the rotor brake surface with your sticky little fingers).

If you want a front disc in a budget, get a /shimano M525 off CRC for £49.99 and get some EBC red pads fro £14.25 from cyclestore.co.uk And drill the holes bigger on the rotor with a drill press to make the brake more on/off.

Ha! I drowned Les Claypool

My girlfriends mum gave us one so I could watch the first episode of the new Dr Who. The telly is now in the basement...
