  1. Not sure they come apart but I have heard of people doing it. The lever play may be caused by air, it is hard to get a good bled.
  2. The slave pistons are far more likely to be the cause of problem. Do you run a grind? Over the years I have had many sticky pistons on the slave cylinders sometimes some spray lube like gt85 can fix it for a month or so. But the best fix of all is replacing the slave cylinders completely. Running a grind reduces the lifetime of the o ring seal on the slave cylinders. Some people have success by taking them apart and cleaning them out.
  3. Hello, what's the riding like in Leicester? My mate Chris and I are thinking of coming up from Milton Keynes/ Northampton.
  4. Can't find a guide, anyone know of one? I'm mainly interested in servicing the slaves and water bleeding without a syringe! Meant to borrow a syringe yesterday but forgot to get it!
  5. im running a 20t at the moment, but could still be used for a 22t but would be close on the chain i left quite abit of diameter on it for further knurling, hopefully a straight knurler will be in at college soon as they last longer.
  6. yeah the laths at college are well old proberly 20 years oldish. Its pretty damn hard to turn a mirror finish with college equipment as the cutting aint expensive and new Ive got a almost brand new middlebrun bashguard for sale that i used on my bike while i was doing my old one if anyone wants it??? silver and landed on it once!!! its well mint condition
  7. cheers for the replies fella's my idea was to increase pimpness without making it weaker to land on (im right footed) so having larger holes where i dont land and small (less likly to crack) where i land. cos i use a single speed tensoiner sometimes the chain tension is ruined by bashguarding as the chain gets hit on the wall, so i went down a chain ring size and only took as much as needed off the bashguard to stop this happing cos it was well annoying. i done this at college with an old lathe and millling machine with a turning table on it. sadly they didnt have a straight knurl at college as i prefer straight to 45 degrees. afterwards i polished it longtime, with 1500grit wet and dry paper for like half an hour then polished it with a mini polishin tool and autosol polishing paste stuff for metals. hopefully this answers everyones questions Everyone loves pictures
  8. Hi, ive machined my old beaten up middleburn bashguard for my college project!!! The weight reduction was only 60 grams but better than 226 grams Now im half way through writing my report for it and tght that it would be good if i good feedback from trials riders of there opinions of my design of it etc. So please leave messages of what u guys think of it (keep it real) Cheers
  9. nice vid shame about the music me no liky ul have to get some footage of me lol
  10. its a possibity Adam il going airsofting with my friends but i might change my mind if the weather is gonna be well nice
  11. i may bless the bristol ride with my presence ;(')
  12. nice vid steve a good video to a good day ur vids are getting better and ur riding 2 i should of done some better stuff though keep the vids going get drunk tomoro for my birthday!
  13. thats a nice bit noise on that vid but not a very good way to show how well it holds i test pads by holding the wheel brake on lift the front wheel off the ground standing next to the bike and push down on the bars as hard as i can this i think simulates if a brake would slip when riding really well my crms are really good so far put them on rode for 30mins in abit of rain and they are the best ive rode with so far
  14. reviews of the crms are top notch, loads of people say theyre great in a different thread i found il order some tomoro and post how good they are
