  1. i got a split in my rear crossover and just replaced it last night, best thing to do is to clamp the barb connector in a vice and chop at it with a stanly knife and then use some cable cutters and prise it off, do the same with the other connector, with two little plastic hose holders hold the new piece of hose in the vice and hammer the barb connector in

    not very hard to do at all ;)

    Hi, i tried this and the new pipe just kept on turning round and slipped off easily so i heated it up, did you have a problem with it turning on the barb connector?

  2. What a crap joke :ermm::ermm:

    How do you mean burst? is it just split on one end? if so, just take that pipe off and cut the poped bt off, then out it back together (Y)

    Yeah it was split but i have just sorted it and now can't bleed it, i will keep trying though.

  3. Hi, i just burst my magura hs33, it is the cross over that is burst and i am not sure how to put more pipe on. I have tried before and not managed so i was wondering how it is done also what should i bleed it with again.

    Thanks in advance Allen

  4. I was really worried about grinding my rim in case i went through it, so before i tried it on my rim i got a scrap piece of steel and ground that. I experimented first though to see which angle i had the grinder at gave the best grind. So as everyone else says just do it you're self.

  5. id say the avid bb7 with a normal avid lever works mighty fine (what im running) and some monty x-lite forks im selling some for 30 quid, i ran them for a while and i loved em

    Ben

    Not trying to put you on the spot or anything but if you loved them then why are you selling them?

    Would i have to change my wheel, if so which one?

  6. Hello, i am hoping to get enough money together for a front disc but i would also need new fork and not sure about wheel, so my questions are- what disc is best and what wheel and forks and maybe wheel to go with it, i have got a onza t-bird at the minute and the forks are not able to take a disc.

    Any help would be great.

  7. Hi i have had this problem i think, when i go to read my emails it cuts me off but does not close my emails.

    I have posted my problem in chit chat somewhere today if you can find it it is under 'msn problems.'

  8. Hi, lately when i have been on msn 7.5 on my e mails it has been coming up with a send/don't send message from microsoft, so i go to don't send and it cuts me off msn (N). I don't send because in the message it says it is of microsoft to make messenger better and i don't want to have to go through loads of stuff if i go for send and i don't want to brake my computer.

    If anyone has had a problem with this and knows how to stop it please reply.

    Thanks Allen (Y)

  9. Because it defeats the object of grinding your rim rather than using tar. black pads on grinds do NOT work. Fact. Have a look for some decent pads (no shortage of topics to find out which ones are good), then grind your rim accordingly, i.e soft pads: light/medium grind, hard pads: harsher grind. Be sure to grind each side in opposite directions to one another though to get better braking both forwards and backwards.

    I have had a magura black pads on for about two grinds and they are still not worn so they go work, they have gripped well for me as well. The back break never slips until the grind goes and my rim is wet.
