as "the ferret" said true the wheel or get some one to do it for you, and set up your brakes agen, or you could just wind the tpa out a bit untill the pads stop rubbing. (Y) hope i helped ollie

read the other post, below yours, about it or go on trashzen.com ollie

where could i get that from? and does any one know the size of a 19" rim in mm? and the size of a 20" rim in mm? and i mean JUST the rim not the tyre, from one edge of the rim to the other please. where did yoy get that from? thanks ollie

i have looked at them tyres thanks guys (Y) but i have found a stickyfingers in 2.4" and its only £13 so im going to get that for now and when i get a 19" wheel im going to get a 2.5 creepy crawler! thanks agen! ollie

its ok tom tom! you were only trying to help me (Y) :) no harm in that! thanks anyway ollie

yer that monty is for a 19" rim and i need it for a 20" rim thanks anyway! i was thinking about doin that but as i am only just starting uni trials i will just get a new tyre and som decent pedals and im gonna slowly upgrade all the other stuff at a later date! ollie

as title says what is the fattest 20" tyre i can get its for my unicycle, but it is not a trials unicycle so it has a 20" rim not 19" so any suggestions? ollie

the only thing that it does to your rims is decrease the life of them but it is still ok to grind your rims! ollie (well thats all i know any way some one else may know of more)

What do you grind your rims with?= an angle grinder Any specific types of pads?=koxx pads (probally browns) How much should you grind your rims?= you can grind your rim as much as you want, a harsh grind is a grind that has been done alot,and is quite deep, a medium grind is a grind that is done a little less than a harsh grind (ino this is best), and a light grind is a grind that has only been done a little bit this still increases the breaking power but not as much. Any alternatives?= an alternative to a grind is tar but tar is not a good idea atm because of the wet weather. How do you apply tar? and how much? and where can you get it from?= you put tar on the rims by just rubbing it on, i find the best way is to spin the wheel and just put a small line around the rim, you can get it from the roads or a hardware store or some roofers will give you a big block, but what ever you do DO NOT PAY FOR TAR!!!! the purpose of a grind is to increase the braking power, a brake booster also help do this, and tar makes the pads stick to the rim making you and the bike stop quiker. but as i said i would recomend a grind as tar is not very good at all in the wet, it's waterproof so the water sits on the tar and makes the brake not work. a grind is really the only way to go to beat the wet weather, if you are planning to rind in the wet/rain! hope this helps ollie

i was just wondering where i could get the DVD "mastering the art of trials" i have tryed ebay but had no look. does any one know of any websites that sell it? thanks :ermm: ollie

hi i have some "rim tape" that i dont need because i dont have drillrd rims! its not acctually rim tape but it could be used as it! so i was just wondering if any one WANTED it aslong as you pay the postage! or (im goning to get slated for this but..) would any one be interested in swapping for some old brake pads not bothered what they are as i only need the backings! its here if you want it oh and i have a lot of black, some blue and some white ollie

i fu*king love the pink and black! i mite pay you later on if you desighn me a good logo but it won't be for a while as i am only getting my bike on friday and i want to keep it standard colors for the time being! but i will keep you im mind! ollie

hi. i was looking at cameras a while back and i was looking at a sony one that records straight to DVD i can't give you much info about it as i didn't get a camera in the end! i think argos stock it so try looking in the catalouge or on the website! ollie

i aint buying then because i want to make some i already have koxx reds and yellows im making them for some thing to do! any ideas? ollie

i dnt even know who this travis guy is but fu*k me he's DAMN GOOD!

thanks guys but does any one have any ideas what to make them from? like tyres or shoe soles ect? thanks ollie

replying to both post... yes i will try some of your pads and... i am going to use them to slowdown ect is just to make sure that they will stay on the backings and see if they accually lock! so :) just kidding! ollie

yer.. i don't have much experience, well any really ut im still goin to try just for a bit of fun! and i m not goin to try trials on them untill i am sure they are safe! i will just use them for slowing down and stopping at high speeds first, then go from there! and i wasn't just asking for the compound i was asking if any one had any ideas because i am trying to make them out of every day objects like shoe soles ect. and does any one know how you melt the rubber down? thanks ollie

as title says really how do you make your own brake pads? how do you get the right size, shape and what materal is best to make them from? and what do you use to stick them to the backings btw i have used the search because there was a topic on this waaaay back but i had no luck! any help apreciated (sp?) and they are for maguras! thanks ollie

ok no problem just letting you know thats all! ollie

imo the best way to improve your brakes (in the wet) is to get a grind, and maby some new pads (Plazmatic CRM) or in the dry weather, if you don't want to grind your rim, tar will do the trick! but what ever you do DO NOT PAY FOR TAR! you can get it for free from builders, hardware stores or the road but it can some times have little stones in it if you get it from the road. i would ask some roofers (people who re-do roofs.eg put tar on them and the gravel stuff) they should give you some for free! :) and sorry i don't mean to be patronising (sp?) I'm just making sure u know what i am going on about. hope i help ollie

i know im going to get slated for this but... its me who is selling the brake add me to msn if you are intrested my addi is in my profile ollie

yes and?....... being able to post else were is one of the advantages of being validated.. so stop waisting you own and others time and do some thing useful to get validated! ollie
