  1. I heard somewhere that you can buy a 20" ronnie, which I think is standard on a t-bird, am I correct? Sam
  2. Mate I think you got the wrong link because it's just the normal freewebs one for me - it asks me to register. Sam
  3. Ok, I am going to order an Avid BB7 soon, and I have heard that they come without a lever and cable?!?! So I have looked at levers and narrowed it down to 3, just wondering who thinks what is best? Or are there any other levers that I could consider? Avid Speed Dial 3 SingleShimano Deore Brake Levers Pair M530 (Would go for a single - not pair)Shimano XTR Brake Lever Single M950Also, I will need a new cable for it too, are there some better cables than others, or are they all roughly the same? Thanks, Sam
  4. Sounds cool, but what's so good about this one? Why not just go for a standard ACS or even the welded ACS? (Comparisons to ACS / ENO etc...) Thanks, Sam
  5. I use ODI Ruffian MX lock on grips and find them amazing, the only downside is the price, but they are well worth it IMO. Sam
  6. Ok thanks, I have heard, that the SD7 levers are good too, is this true? Sam
  7. I'd say it's completely your choise mate, but if I had to choose, (although I don't ride stock) I would probably say ZOO, but that's just my opinion, so YOU choose what YOU want.
  8. Thanks, that helps! If they don't come with a lever, which lever would be best for me to buy? I just looked on CRC and they only do a 203mm for the front, so I can't get it from there. Also, does that mean that the BB7 doesn't come with cable or pads either? Thanks, Sam
  9. I need a new disk brake for my Monty. This is because I broke my old Magura Louise, and would much prefer a disk to maggie. I have about £70 to spend, and at the moment, I am thinking about going for the Avid BB7 185mm. Just a few questions though. >>> Is this the best brake for the money? Where can I buy this cheapest? (Cheapest I found, is £71.99 from Wiggle) I don't think it will be, but will the 185mm be too powerful for my Monty 221 X-Lite forks? What colour is the standard lever that comes with the BB7? Thanks a lot, Sam
  10. That's mine, now with a new set of 221 X-Lite stickers, ODI grips, Olympia (Black.Gold) Rear Brake, and will also have an Avid BB7 185mm on the front next week. Sam Rides superb.
  11. Cool, just took another look at it and I think it would look amazing, I have never seen a black echo myself, only silver, that would be nice.
  12. I tried 1 pic mate, but it didn't come out very well, because changing sliver to black is the ardest colour change to do on photoshop (IMO). I might try again another time aswell, Sam
  13. Using ImageReady, it's basically the same as Photoshop, So, here's how I would change the colour using ImageReady: 1. Open the Image that you want to edit. 2. Click on the 'Lasso' tool (Personally, I find the 'polygonal lasso' tool is much better) then, using that, surround the area that you want coloured - You have to stay as close to the lines as possible. 3. Click on Image > Adjustments > Variations. 4. Choose the colour you want to change it to. 5. Click OK. Hope I Helped, Sam
  14. It's ok, but if you have Kodak Easyshare (Like Me) You can just click a button and it automatically makes it into 'cartoon'. Nice try though. Yeah, you can mate, I just tried it and it worked fine for me..... Sam
  15. That's a pretty cool pic... But instead of sending pics through his msn, just post them up here and more people can have a go. (Like Me )
  16. Basically: 1. Use the Lasso tool (I find the polygonal one best) to outline the frame - u must stay as close to the lines as possible. 2. Got to 'Image' > 'Adjustments' > 'Variations' 3. Choose the colour by clicking on all the different selections to get it jus right. 4. Click 'OK' That's how I do it and it's fine (It leaves the decals out anyway ) Hope I Helped, Sam
  17. Oh right Ok, I will try that first... then if it doesn't work I will take it to my LBS. Thanks, Sam
  18. Ok thanks a lot guys, I will contact my LBS and see what they can do. And I will probably try to get hold of one of those magura boosters too then! Thanks, Sam
  19. Which one's? Which pic are they in?
  20. Right I got my new HS33 last week, and then a few minutes ago I looked at it and realised that (although I have a brake booster) my frame was still flexing. Has anyone else ever had this happen to them before??? What shall I do? Will I need a new (or another) brake booster? Also, how do I fix my other HS33 - my old one? [pic below] sorry about the size of the pic I don't have a clue why it has come up soooo big??? I need to join the hose... Thanks a lot in advance, Sam
  21. Same, Just downloading at the moment......
