  1. Need some opinions on my M4 Exhaust. 

    It's completely stock at the moment. Would you recommend doing Decat Downpipes or Secondary Decat. I'm just looking to get more noise and a deeper tone. 

    I didn't want to go the Couple of thousand £ for a mid pipe and backbox just yet

    Cheers

  2. Need a bit of advice! 

     

    I've got some chrome plastic wheel inserts but its peeling. Does anyone know How I can respray them? I don't know the procedure to spray Chrome. I'm just trying to get the car into good enough condition to sell it. 

    I would love to get some new one but Lexus wanted to £35 each I need 7 peices. 

    Any help would be great!

    Cheers

  3. I've also noticed this also. Before I stopped trials back in 2008 it was still growing, Never thought trials would be this quiet! I've only been back on since near to the end of the year of 2016

     

    I remember back then the Members organised rides section was non stop it had a ride somewhere almost every weekend. I have to say I miss the massive group rides that I had gone to such as Reading, Bristol and Oxford!

  4. MT7's can take a lot of abuse in my eyes. You see Ali C and Danny Macaskill running them. Apart from the moment Ali C putting most if not all his weight on his lever then it snapped the lever but apart from that I'm thinking it'll take a lot more abuse!

    I don't remember the bleed bolt having a washer underneath it.

    Thats not a spacer thats the bolt it self! I've cleaned the caliper and every so often I'll go to have a look and theres still a little bit of oil leaking out of it. On the caliper under the bleed bolt its slightly raised so it may look like a spacer but it's not

  6. It seems I may have some leakage left the bike for a week or two, went for a short ride and found my lever keep pulling back further and further. 

     

    Bleed bolt is rather tight not sure where it even came from! has anyone else had this issue before?

    In the picture I did wipe some of the oil off with my finger to see if it was oil. 

    cheers

  7. I'm also thinking about changing my front MT7 to a MT6. now they've fully bedded in its having trouble with modulation! 

     

    Mine have been fine so far no leaks yet. Another side note is I really like how Magura has the same bolt size for everything! makes life easier

    My 4 on the front sets up rub free really easily, with a visible gap, the 5 is a different story.

    I have better clearance using the 4 individual pads than the 2 pad config! I like having rub free set up but with pad rock and loud clunks when landing Id stick with the 2 pad config!

  9. @niconj I have my MT7's it's still rubbing a bit on mine but haven't ridden it much brakes are good, bought some Trialtech MT5 pads for it glad I did! Now I don't have to hear a big clunk when I land, 

     

    im now looking for a MT4 calliper for the front! MT7 front does an amazing job though! 

     

    I've also found the The standard 4 individual pads have a tad bit for clearance than the 2 pad configuration. 

  10. I've now seen the MT Trail Sport is it worth spending more on a MT6 front and MT7 on the rear? cause it seems there isn't much difference between the MT Trail Sport and MT6-MT7

    I'd say 5 over 7 and the 4 is working really well as a front for me.

    Yeah I've found a pair of MT5's for £100 just to try them out! If I don't like it I'll most probably go back to Hope Brakes!

    Thank you for the help guys really appreciate it!
