  1. here's my polo, the wheels are Borbet T's in 8x14" ET15 with a phat 3" dish. the dishes are diamond cut and laquared finish so look nice and shiney when polished up B) although had to have the arches pulled out by almost an inch for the wheels to sit right as they poke out quite a bit! :rolleyes:

  2. i run 22-19 on my toxsin and it is beasting, it is lighter than some use but i think it really encourages you to put more effort in with gaps etc.

    to be honest though it's what I feel comfortable with, as other have said, get an old cassette and experiment with a few ratios then see which one feels best for you :)

  3. just prise the pads apart with a flatblade screwdriver, saves you taking the pads off. then until you put the brake on the bike put some cardboard between the pads to save it happening again.

    but. . . . to take the pads out, remove the circlip from the retaining pin, push the pin out, pull the pads out. refitting is obviously the reverse of that (Y)

  4. i work as a bike mechanic so i do like to keep my bike nice and clean and maintained, although i'm not obsessed and will ride my bike if it's dirty, as long as it's mechanically sound

    usually like it to look nice too, also running bens gold bars at the moment which stick out like a sore thumb :P

  5. lol, would be very undriveable if it was lower than it is!

    only got 2 and a bit inches of ground clearance under the subframe/wishbone joints at the moment :-

    but just had the arches pulled out about an inch recently so no rubbage with me + 3 passengers B)
