  1. use a power washer up close nah dont best thing is to ring tarty and find out if they are under laque and then go from there
  2. ive got a avid bb7 and they are amazing there £60 ish for a 180 rotar + lever and cable on top of that. and they are just as good as any hydraulic brake if not better. theres no seals all you need to do is replace cable every now and again (cheaper than a bleed). they also lock up exceptionaly well
  3. run snail cams and they will act as spacers and tensioners at the same time
  4. ive never had it as bad as fight and threats but i constantly have to keep an eye on my bike and people around me even if im on the train. if things dont seem right and dont like the chavs ( i hope to cause affence as most chavs are nob heads ) i just ride off. and one thing i never do is get a camera or phone out.
  5. no i dont think he just went out and bought a bike he used an old apollo from his cousin (correct me if im wrong) sounds a fun project mate hope it improves your riding some how
  6. i bin lookin for a new helmet i want a piss pot but all i can find is jst plain ones and im after somethin with a colour thats stands out. i dont want pink but am open to all other colours. does anyone no of any shops that have what im lookin for please
  7. ashton, leeson both have seats have you thought of a limey theres so many bikes the list is pritty long best way is to go on a biggish ride and ride other peoples bikes that you like the look of
  8. same as everyone else theyre great go for them
  9. i got told they use them around horses so you could try an equestrian center. if not heatsink mite sell u a syringe by its self
  10. looks nice you mite wont to consider using some sort of tensioner though, as that chain is super slack it will take for ever for everythin 2 engage
  11. theres two ways of doing it drill it big and put an insert in the ones used in tensiles or weld the hole bak up have it heat treated and then drill and tap a thread
  12. thats a stupid question we cant tell u what type of bike you like only tips on how to go about building it ect. you only knows what you want from your bike and how it will ride.
  13. a good idea is to watch a vid with sumone side hopping in it so you have the jist of what to do. then go and do it on something small and work your way up. if you are still struggling just ride with someone who can do it and get them to help you. its the best way its better than anyway that can be posted or read on a website.
  14. chances are its cross threaded so ur best hope of gettin it free spray loads of oil on and leave it for a bit. u can also try useing a screw driver and use the groves in the tpa to push it round. its just a case of keep tring but the screw driver way usually works.
  15. its common sense that if a bike shop sells the frame they sell parts from the same brand so take ur pic selectbikes or mjcycles
  16. the zoo stem is 25 degrees and 145mm but you cant buy them as they dont make them anymore. the replacement is the hifi stem high look on tartybikes
  17. is it a standard monty ti if so id get that or is it a monty ti frame with other parts on that
  18. even if you buy it from ebay it will still have a manafacturers warranty and usually the enos from a shop on ebay which alot of the time have warranty as well.
  19. dont want to retap it if i have to any more ideas i'll also think bout the sending off to profile idea thanks keep them cuming
  20. ive stripped one of the threads for the axel bolts on my profile and would like to no is the a fix i dont really no much about profiles so thats why im askin you lot. i thought that i might be able to jst replace the threads all ideas are welcome. also if it comes to it could i tap it bigger.
  21. i dont think hope do the custom rotars anymore, your best option is to ring them up and ask them if they can do you some
  22. most cleaners leave a residue so i wunt recomend that. you couldd try putting white spirts on it and then setting it alight and it should burn everything off. but its only an idea ive never tryed it.
