    Ive got a problem that i have several .avi files on my pc but none will recognize in adobe 6.5 or windows movie maker so i thought download a converter, did so and it says "file type not recognized" :@, why is it doing this ? the files play on my pc so they're not corrupted :S any help please ????

  2. Its just a standard M5 by 0.8 thread.

    A helicoil is exactly what your asking if anyone makes. You drill the mount out to 5 point something I think it is, then tap it with an M6 by 0.8 tap, then put a steel insert into that thread to bring it back down to the original M5 by 0.8 size.

    You drill it out with a 5.2mm drill bit, then GENTLY tap it out to a standard m6 thread (m6 by 0.8) ;) 5.2mm + 0.8mm pitch of the threads = 6mm

    Next insert a (m6 by 0.8 to m5 by 0.8) helicoil using the correct (don't quote me on if this is the tools correct name :S) helicoil driver :D

    Main things to remember when helicoiling is to get the new holes parallel to the original ones and make sure you use the taps in the right order and NEVER tap or drill holes dry, use some form of cutting lube ;)

  3. Depending on what your welding it might be better to look for a tig welder wouldnt it ??? Yeah its a litle harder to do but if you can already mig weld it shouldnt be too much harder to pick up :) I find that migs dont like welding plate or box section metal unless its fairly thick ! That said i was using a 195 amp welder to weld 4mm plate :ermm: If it has to be a mig welder though i know draper do a reliable 95 amp gasless welder for £150ish new ;)

  4. Personally I'd put a very slight grind on the back rim ;) koxx reds become out of this world with a very slight grind.... and maybe go up to a 185mm rotor on the front, but thats just how i like a bike :P looks wise it is the nicest ashton I've ever seen :D

  5. 200 rotor will fit fine... i run a 185mm avid with 180mm aztec rotor, and the wierd thing is the pads are better placed on the rotor than running a 185 :S the pads used to wear at the top of the pad but not the bottom but with the 180 it seems to wear evenly :S

    Well basically at the minute i run try-all cranks and with my eno there are not enough threads on the drive side to safely run a bash ring (it screw on to about 5 threads) so what i'm asking is, can i run a set of monty cranks with an eno and a bash ???

    pictures would be great i guess :- but any helps awsome :lol:
