i would say go for the tensile one, I have had mine since august now and ride nearly every day on it and it has never skiped yet....(touch wood)

dont get a t-mag get a t-pro i have the t-mag and it rides like a sack of shit!

if you have nothing sorted yet i have both sides you could have for a fiver posted and i may have a crossover that i can throw in? ring or text me on 07999077225 if your interested as i dnt get on the net much

ok. thanks guys

i was thinking of buying some heatsink vee bake pads for my bmx and was wondering if they came with all the spacers needed to fit them to the brake. This may sound like a stupid question but i am just making sure as in the pictures there are no spacers or washers on the brake pads. thanks alot.

nah mike you have it all wrong, you know what my brake sounds like, it's soooooo loud its untrue, coust CnC'd pads on a medium/harsh grind is where it's at for a uber loud brake!

how?

make sure your t-vee has a 19" rear wheel not 20" or it will not fit in any other frame, well it will but the brake won't line up

while were on the subject, has any one tried hs reds on a smooth rim with a vee brake?, im looking to get some for my bmx, has any one tried them?

right here's my attempt. first of all are you running the FW on the front or on the rear? tensile have produced two FW on with the threads in the lockring to tighten them selves on the front and the threads are the other way round on the rear version, so that it also tightens itself up. As far as i am aware only the FW for the front is available, so if you have purchaced the FW for the front and running it on the rear wheel of your bike then it's the same principal as the ACS undoing its self due to the outer body turing the same way that you turn the lockring to undo it (where as the tensile, the outer body turns anti-clockwise, and to undo the lockring you need to turn it clockwise, or maby vice-versa, but you get the idea, they go oposite ways). so if you are running a FW thats made for the front on the back then the body and the lockring threads are going the same way, thus meaning its undoing its self, like an ACS does on the front. That would also be the same if you are running a FW made for the rear, on the front, like you do when you use an ACS. There I hoep I have helped a little.

I have found that the !!SEARCH!! Button on a smooth rim is really good .

yeah its the type of pad it was from, they have a really short bolt, and im using then on my bmx, they just have one nut on the end. and steve, i don't have a clue what you mean, im using then on my bmx brake and there fine and haven't moved (if that what you mean? )

well first of all you pop your magura pads into the oven for a round 5 mins at a high temp (keep an eye on them) and then the material will just fall out of the backings. then take some old vee brake pads that you don't want, they cannot be used after this, i used some like this [attachmentid=4616], then destroy them until you get something that looks like this from it [attachmentid=4617]. then destroy that until you get something that looks like this, [attachmentid=4609],[attachmentid=4610], the next bit gets a bit destructive and if you ever want to use them as magura pads again, then i sugest you get some spare backings, as now you need to drill out the clip (that attaches it to the piston) so you just have a hole through the back of the backing, then take [attachmentid=4610] <<<<that and stick it in like this >>>>[attachmentid=4611], [attachmentid=4612] ,[attachmentid=4613]. then after you have stuck that in using superglue or araldite (sp?) you may need to cut a bit of the underside of the pad away, where it rises for the clip bit (that you drilled out). then stick your material back in also using superglue or araldite, you will have some vee brake pads, looking like this>>>[attachmentid=4614], [attachmentid=4615]. as i said this is a cheapo option rather than buying vee brake pads or heatsink cnced backings then the pads and transfaring them over. well i hoped i helped some one.

tis black

why not?

as it says really what would be better for my bmx heatsink red on smooth or coust on smooth? I may be willing to grind my bmx rim as its old and shitty and not chrome ! also can anyone recomend me a good chrome rim? another thing, feel free to give me other sugestions on good vee pads for bmx, also i know my coust on my trials bike honk like a biach, just wondering if they do on a smooth rim and the same with the heatsink reds? thanks in advance.

i think he means that it won't fit any bike other than a leeson?

silly me :$

would the leeson brake booster fit on any bike? (i ride a t-mag :$ ) but i was just wondering if it would fit or would it need bodging?[attachmentid=4270] also does any one else think the leeson rotor looks deadly?

or if you like mbuk and hevent yet subscribed you colud subscribe and get some v8's free

hey all, i was just wondering if anyone had any good (preferably meaningful) spray stencil templates that you would kindly share, or if you have any good pictures that would make good stencils, anything would be a great help, thanks.

im in the prosses of making some as we speak, well type, ill let you know how they turn out

there all sorted with small piccys as well, hope i am of some help, im bored so i though i would do it for you.

the other day i had my front wheel off my bikes and i switched my wheels arround and put the 26" wheel in my 20" forks and they just fit wit about 2cm between the tyre and forks, i was just wondering if anyone runs this? i ride mod my self so am not asking, like im going to try it i was just wondering if anyone runs this set up and what it is like, obivously a disk brake would be needed

does riding in the rain count as getting them wet enough? i imagine that the water would sit on the solid rotor, where as on one with holes, the water would got through them? they worked pritty well in the rain for me although i have only had them a day so they may get better (not much room for them to improve imo) or they may get worse, only time will tell. david, are you using them?, if you are you using them on the solid rotor?, if you are where did you get it from? and with what brake?
