The lemonade man

No, it wouldn't. Do a search, there's like 100 topics on this. You're brake would not fit on the rim unless you fancy welding some mounts on. Not even a magura.

Google it.

I'd quite like to know too, it sounds like this is the same thing which is happening with my boxxers

Unless you mean an armordillo (to stop frame damage) I don't believe there are.

IIRC, saracen stocks can't run bashplates, unless you want to make your own with mounts etc.

Mine did this, I put a washer on the side of the hub, to push it out, and it works fine now.

It sounds like your chain is too tight, are you running an unsprung chain tensioner? Do the pedals move when you spin the wheel backwards?

Make sure the pads are in line with the rim. Maybe get a harsher grind...

I used to own a t-pro, was an amazing frame to ride, even with the crappy parts I had on it. Although, mine did end up cracked in 2 places Although it seems this is a reasonably rare occurance considering the amount of the frames ridden. Overall a great bike for beginners. Like every other topic made on these, I get the feeling that'll be the overall view.

Could afford two 2nd hand bikes but I've just started racing and my dh bike has taken me ages to make/afford so thats not really an option. I think I'll just build it up and see how it goes, trials style, short stem and narrower bars as Ali C said. Cheers, keep the suggestions coming

About what would be the longest forks that would work with a trials bike though? I know it wouldn't ride amazingly but it'd be something.

Do I hear trials style 4X?

I'm thinking, as I can't afford a full build trials bike and dirt-jump rig, why shouldn't I make one to do both? If I had reasonably long rigid forks, and a wide gear ratio, would there be any reason not to? <getting bored of dirt jump on my dh bike )

I'm going to run a disc anyway as I've got a frame with one v-brake mount

Cheers guys, I'll give 24 a go as I've got a set of singletracks lying around somewhere, as for tyres I'll try 2.5 and see what thats like.

As I can't afford to buy another trials bike, I'm going to build up a stock from spare parts so I don't need to buy as much until I have money. Anyway, just wondering a few things such as tyres. What widths would you suggest front and back? I'm thinking high rollers 2.5 rear and 2.35 front? Wheels, what would it be like riding a frame designed for 26" with 24's? (planet-x zebdi)? Just always liked to try 24". Flat bars or risers? Or are both generally used. Thats it really, thanks alot.

Took me about 2 years to build, christmas and birthday money etc. I'll try drilling it at the sides and hopefully that will slow it down. Thanks for all your help people, wasn't expecting this many responses

I swear there was an identitcal topic to this yesterday... Oh yes look at the bottom of the page

I'm presuming they'll cost a fair ammount?

Problem is though, I'm too young to work anywhere, have tried washing cars etc. but everyone is a right tight-arse where I live, have nothing to sell except my bighit which I've spent all my money on and love and it's not worth that much anyway... And my parents are having financial problems at the moment so that rules them out...

No, I'm the 2nd owner

Hi guys, very p*ssed off at the moment as I've just found a crack in my frame and have absolutley no money and owe alot... Anyway I'm wondering if theres any relatively cheap way of welding/fixing it. It's an onza T-pro and its cracked on the downtube just after the weld where it meets the toptube by the headtube. Don't really know why it's done it as I've not been going big on it Thanks.

Try and get a second hand hayes HFX-9, just got a braided cable on mine and it feels amazing.

Bubblegums

I do the same thing-left footed and hop to the left. Feels wrong doing it the other way and it shouldn't really make a difference to the height you get...
