  1. there was a post on this not too long ago so do a search!

    also think about disks bedding in, when they are new the surface is slightly rough, when it beds in it gets smooth and the brake starts working better. so a grind would decrease performance and get rid of the pads in a few seconds due to the compound

  2. the spokes were quite tight as i did them myself just before! could have been tighter but tight enough. the rim would still have flat spotted as this is all down to the rim strength.

    here is the gap (the exact one where he did his wheel)

    and i agree with him as i have put a small flatspot in mine just from a small drop gap.

  3. i have some pure forks on my pitbull and an avid disk, and i used to think my front wheel was loose when i was on the back wheel, but if you look at someone when they are hopping on the back wheel with echo forks, they flex a bit to stop them from snapping when you do big moves, so it gives the feeling that something is loose, strange i know but once i seemed to get this fact into my head i stopped feeling it.

  4. as in the title has anyone ridden the czar ivan ( preferably the 1100 ) for more than a few minutes? because i am going to get one soon and was just wandering about peoples opinions on them. i have ridden one for a few minutes and like the feel, so i only want replys from people that have ridden it more than me. also which stem are you running? and how does it feel?

    if you ride a high bb frame that is also long(1080+) such as the adamant a2. how dose that feel because i'm sure it will feel similar. so would also value your opinion

    and when i say high bb i mean +50, as i don't want anyone telling me about 05 pitbulls etc.

    thanks

  6. I know what you mean but when theres a lot going on its hard to take a picture at the presise moment but i tryed my best and they wernt bad for my first ever try

    yeh good point its hard at big rides, but just focus on your friends, then u will have something nice to show them and some good pics. try using flash to avoid blurring (Y)
