  1. your best getting your lbs to do it, 'cause they'll probably take off your current freewheel to (freewheels are absolute bastards to get off). if you want to use a crankpuller like one of these what you do is screw the "big threaded bit" (if your looking at the on on tartybikes it's the grey bit thats got something like stainless crank extractor etchd into it) into the crank, if you look at where you take the hex bolt out theres thread to screw it into then you spin the other part of crank extractor and it pulls of the crank whats a bearing pull? :$ subject of freewheels: I'd recommend an eno 'cause you can replace bit's on it if you manage to kill it and you can service them really easily, 'cause they've got a sealed bearing theres far less parts to ping out when you open it
  2. there any riders that live near you? if so watch them not just videos see how they preload for gaps and such although everyone gaps differently to some extent it's always a similar movement, and get them to watch you and point out what your not doing, could do better etc. get some pallets and put them a distance away from eachother and gap them, each time making the gap a little bit bigger or put another pallet on top and aim to get higher.
  3. looks good, i'd spray the forks + mounts as well though
  4. you also get the downward spiral of having a less sensitive penis
  5. no, the koxx has the lockring at the back doesn't it so it can't undo, and the eno is magic*+doesn't undo** *not all eno's are magic **some will undo or come loose
  6. If your on a budget go buy an ACS claw there usually prety reliable + cheap if they go boom. I'd suggest buying an eno or tryall, their both expenisve but there uber good quality, especially the eno because you can replace all the components if you manage to kill anything on it the tryall just has awesome engagements 108(which is more engagements than everything else on the market), meaning you get an engagement every 3 degrees although a few people have had problems with them skipping like a bitch. If you've not got the budget go for a tensile, there awesome value + such.
  7. I've ran one of those for 5months with no problems so far you get some uber beefy bolts with them to the cranks are prety decent to.
  8. why their clothes seem quite cheap, compraed to what you'd pay for other high-street brands their hoodies are £40 compared to the usual £50 that most places rob you...
  9. moving the lever, but it doesn't pull on the cable
  10. ride other peoples bikes, long/short high/low bb rise go for one of the deng frames (echo, zoo, gu, adamant, czar) there plenty strong+well made or an ashton .
  11. looks like one of the phase frames
  12. find someone else, if she doesn't like you physically or mentally anymore you;'d be wasting your money+time on something that won't last long, go spend your £40 on another cheapy bike+make lame movies for tf?
  13. How much woudl the shorts be?
  14. i wouldn't use the bike you liniked for trials. you had a look on tartybikes~? linky
  15. ogre

    19" Back Wheel

    how do more Xes make a wheel stronger? i have an idea in my head i just can't explain it. essay please?
  16. might want to edit your posts then as said look around on ebay.
  17. why not botch a mech into a chain tentioner? you'll pull the links enough to take out the stiffness after a ride or two anyway.
  18. How're taps offputting there one of the few things i can actually do ok and i've never been put off from doing them+i'm a pussy
  19. why not sell yoru hope and then buy a bb7/hope trials?
  20. your nipples... you need a tool idealy (i think theres one on tarty) hence why most people say take it to a bikeshop. otherwise a chissel/screwdriver(flatheaded) + hammer, put the flat of the chisel/screwdriver on one of th "notches" on the freewheel+hit it alot but taking it to a bikeshops alot easier etc.
  21. Or not? they tend to round easily and you can't get the same tention you do with "normal" nipples = weaker wheelbuild etc, they look pimp though and save you a few grams
