Given that steve@heatsink already does a bash to fit the middleburns it should be pretty simple for him to modify the design to fit a FFW Time is the major issue though

No reason why you can use middleburns on a mod, just cant use a FFW setup and normal mod gearing - if you use a king rear though get a heatsink bash for them and youre laughing That said, Im sure if you talk nicely to someone they would probably be able to manufacture a FFW adaptor for middleburns

Done

Or youre just incapable of typing a few simple meaningful and useful sentences?

Why not use a stock middleburn bash, get it machined and put a 20t on there?

Pisspots tend to protect more around the ears and back of the head/neck because the plastic shell extends further down

Id rather fund the british engineering industry and buy middleburns, stronger and british Plus you get a decent warranty on them and none of the machined slightly wrong bollocks

I run between 15-20 psi and mainly ride street and dont have any problems with the single ply, that said I dont go big because Im falling apart in my old age :$

In my experience folding (kevlar) bead is lighter but the tyre will be more prone to peel off the rim at low pressures. Folding bead tyres are usually much easier to put on than steel bead Dual ply sidewalls are stiffer and allow lower pressures with better pinch puncture resistance, heavier though. Personally Ive never had a pinch puncture with my single ply 2.35 high roller but Im only 11 stone and 5'8".

Im lieing anyways, Ive a sneaking suspicion its a t bird not master - dont think its even mine but it appeared in my bike cupboard about 4 years ago

Levers the same but the caliper has larger pistons, its only a matter of a couple of mm but its enough to make the difference

^^^ What they said, the larger piston gives a slightly spongier brake but with more bite and hold

Think Ive got one sitting in a cupboard, needs a brake bolt drilling and or helicoiling

As long as you wash the bladder out immediately after use and rinse it properly you can put near anything in there I use an old bent wire coat hanger to hang the bladder up to dry, its 3 years old now and still no funny tastes/smells

My home bodged chain tensioner made from an old dmr tensioner Could do with a slightly softer spring as the chain is really alittle bit too tight, it doesnt slap or bang though

Front one is an irc el gato and rear is a panaracer fire xc pro if Im not mistaken

Cant you run the tugs on the inside? If you have snail cams inside the dropouts you should be able to run tugs

Chaintugs are the sensible option if snailcams arent working

Im right footed, left foot forward, sidehop left and spin to the right - no wonder Im crap

A few years ago (ok 15 years, Im getting old ) they only came in the flourescent yellow Ive got silver slaves at the moment and some white ones floating about spare

Avid SD7 (or ultimate if youre feeling rich ) or shimano xtr seem to be the best choice - depends on how much money you have The SD7 is only 11 quid from tarty

This is a good topic idea but crap execution Should have been "What do you drink whilst riding...."

I have no mech on my 135mm hifi, singlespeed with a home bodged tensioner (an old dmr simple tension seeker and exhaust spring off my supermoto with a bit of fiddling about). The tensioner is inboard of the frame and mounted inside the dropout so it can never be hit even if I land on it Meant drilling a hole in the dropout but its not in a highly stressed area so no cause for concern

Whatever I last drank I dont make a point of drinking before riding but if its a day long ride I usually take a camelbak of water and top it up during the day with bottled

I ride goofy, left foot forward and sidehop to the left, I can go to the right aswell but not as comfortable with it - I also x-up goofy on my bmx and moutainbike, left foot forward and turn the bars left not right. Dont run a mech on my bike, got singlespeed and homemade tensioner bodged from an old dmr tensioner and an exhaust spring off my supermoto
