Bike addict

what difference would a khe collapse chain make, and yes i do ride i t-master

Can i ask how snail cams work? cheers, Ryan

i was thinking about that but the only problem is that im short on cash, i know that they are reasonably cheap but ive just splashed out on new parts to try and fix my old problem, and my dad is the man with the money and he wont be pleased if i ask him for more parts.

I've always favoured the magura hs33. Ive never had any major problems apart from replacing olives etc. go with magura hope this helped mate,

erm, probably these: vanilla pod-surrounded by idiots, total recall and waterdown Yellow card- rough landing Metallica- i dissappear, st.anger, enter sandman

As you may or may not know, i posted a topic about a week ago now on how my frame was bent, i've managed to spread it by about 5mm which was enough, so that fixed the problem of my brakes gripping my wheel. i've now got the problem of my chain. when i adjust it to get it the right tightness, i tighten the bolts up tight, only to find that they slip forward *** my wheel (when i pedal). But, making matters worse, because the wheel is so far back in the dropouts, i cant put a chain tensioner on it. Even if i take 2 links out to make it shorter, this means that it is too far forward meaning that my brake pads are only halfway on the rim. I cant think of a way out so if any of you people out there know how please, please help me! Thanks, Ryan

I am absolutely sure that it is an alloy frame. My dad and i are going to attempt to bend it by using a jack, he says that there is a way to bend it back and he will find a way. :$

I'll be nice and call it a 7/10

Its bent to the extent that even if i do move the brakes back to the furthest that they can go its still gripping really hard, i can barely move the wheel even with a lot of force

i have spaced it out, sorry for shouting at you im annoyed and tired. :$

Well, i guess ive found my sarcastic git have'nt i????? if you were being serious (i doubt that) on my rear axle, when i took the bolts off of it that secure it to the frame, there was some space on either side of it because the frame sort of bent outwards but, i have tightened the bolts too tight so now it bends inwards instead. Aren't i the lucky one

yes, on my rear axle, when i took the bolts off of it, there was space on either side of the axle because the frame sort of bent outwards but now i have tightened the bolts too tight and bent it inwards instead hence my topic on "bent frame"

trust me both sides are locked. I think i can safely say that i am now well and truly, annoyed. My camera wont load the pictures, my bike is bent in ways i cannot explain, my other bike is in need of new brake pads which have not been ordered yet, my toe hurts from drop bricks on it whilst trying to help my dad and now my phone wont turn on, i don't think my day could get any worse unless some fat bloke tried to steal my house and make me drink soup. No doubt that after i have posted this i will get some sarcastic git topping it all off with the most pointless question. Oh joy P.s keep posting your ideas on how to help

ok give me 5 mins ill go take them

ive just got the frame so mi father aint pleased

My beast before it bent

its a onza t-master, but to make matters worse, the design of the framne means it dips in so that aint helpin either

Yes that paragraph basically sums up what happens to me all the time. i hate problems

My frame at the back has sort of bent inwards to the extent that my brake pads are pushing on my wheel stopping it from moving at all. i've put some washers on my axle at either side to try and "bend" it back out again. Can you people out there please help me and if there is anything else you can think of that might help please please tell me because the thought of not being able to ride in a 2WEEK holiday is killing me

When they give me this type of abuse, i just tell them that it is a form of excersise and that it gets me up off of my fat ass to do something. If that doesn't work, tell them that you enjoy doing it and that if you hurt yourself its your fault(obviously? ) and that they shouldn't make a mountain out of a mole hill. Tell them this and im sure you will get around them Ryan,

"if you get me angry im gonna start flapping" in this bit what does he mean "flapping" is he some sort of gender confused bird?

The best grips i've had so far are my current ones, being gusset bastards. Comfy and come in funky colours

Somehow, when i was out enjoying my self, my freewheel suddenly decided to dislodge itself so that you could see the bearings, making it so that it would not move, ending my days riding. How the hell it did it i dont know but it certainly ruined my day. bloody thing

Hi. If you want to protect the underside of your frame, get an armourdillo, or if you are the hands-on type and you have got the tools, try making one out of checker plate, i made one for my mate ages ago and it turned out real nice.
