  1. i have decided to build my wheel instead of having it built at a shop. I have been lookin at how to build wheels on the internet and they talk about different patterns such as crows foot, 2 cross crows foot and more.i have a hope xc rear hub and a echo rim, what shall i do?

  2. I have never locked out a mech before or had a mate who has done it. I want to buy a mech very soon so i can lock it out. What is the easiest and best mech to lock out?

    Also with some tensioners you can move the arm with the wheel on across to selsect a different gear. Could i do this with a locked out mech 'cus then i would be able to select a harder gear for riding places.

    Cheers(y)

  3. Just built myself a new bike up, and have ordered a wider rim. The only thing left for me to do now is to sort my gears and mech and shifter out. At the moment i have got an xt hum with a 7 speed cassette. I know i need a short arm mech and i've seen trials gears but i dont know what to get. What do you thing i should get. I am willing to spend about £50.

    Cheers, Luke :P

  4. if there's that much room can't you just switch the mount clmaps round so that they are nearer the rim. i did that on my shogun gatecrasher with a crappy veulta airline rim and it was fine. just like a magura is normally. It explains exactly what i mean in the magura manual on page 7 in instruction number 3.

    basically you take the left clamps and put the quick release adapter on this mount, then fit this clamp around the right slave cylinder. screw in the right hand side of the booster as well.

    Then attach the right clamp onto the left side and fit them onto your mounts on the frame.

    and hey presto, your cylinders are about 1-2cm further in towards your rim.

    hope it helps.

    I kind of get you but where do i get these quick release adapter from and everything. This sounds great.

  5. sorry to be abit of a gay but i still dont get this hole backing business. ive got the wrong idea. Im thinking ' if i pad summot behind the pads the magura piston wont push in and stuff'. and my pads im using now like move when i brake and look like they are going to rip off and the noise from the is hurendous.

  6. I have an echo pure frame and a 721 mavic rim. Its not good. Ive bodged 2 standard magura pads together and its working alright at the moment. I need some thick pads to reach the rim enough instead of getting a trials rim. What are some good thick pads?

  7. I have recently brought an echo frame, forks , middleburn crank and more a few days ago so only have about £50 to spend. I have a long arm xt derailor , 7 sp xt cassette and a 7 sp grip shift type 'sach' shifter. All this does not work and like i said i have £50 to spend. I was thinking of getting a single speed conversion because i can get a surley singulator tensioner for £5 off a mate but im not sure whether people use single speed on trials bikes or just tryig to buy a short arm derailor and new shifter and keep my gears. What shall ido? Please help, Luke :)
