    Anodizing

    You sort of answered your own question there mate But yeah, ask tarty Adam, he anodised a whole frame.
  2. Mine's exactly the same How do you know/find out which ones are safe to get rid of?
  3. All sorted! I had those little bloody spacer things on wrong. Thanks Adam!
  4. I give up. Would I be able to pop down some time this week Adam?
  5. Does Trapped in the Closet count as a song?
  6. Thats the thing though, theres plenty of room for them now, cos I already took loads off the pads. But one of them just won't hit the rim right. They worked fine before I took my wheel out.
  7. Should be able to, cheers Adam I've sanded a good layer off the top, and no difference. Its just the one side that will not hit properly, no matter what.
  8. Nope, nothing. They just will not f**king lock. I'll give em a scrub with some meths and see if that does owt. If not, I dunno what the f**king hell to do, its SO frustrating.
  9. Thats actually an ace idea, cheers. I tried undoing the nuts - setting the pads square - pulling lever/tightening, but that did no good. I'll give that a go
  10. Righto, I've got some Heatsink Reds on my Ta26, and on a DX32. At first, they were beasts, loads of lock and bite and noise. I got a flat yesterday, sorted it and clipped me brakes back on, and now theyre absolutely shite. Theres no lock or bite or noise, and I cannot, no matter what I do, get one of the pads to hit square. What could I be doing wrong? Its really frustrating, cos this is the first and probably last night I'm gonna get to ride for the next couple of weeks. Should I grind a bit of the pad off to make it square? Is there any decent tutorials for setting a v brake up for trials use? I really don't know whats going on!

    Zhi News

    Which shops are gonna be stocking the Bionic? I was gonna go for an Deng-o-matic frame, but I'm probably gonna wait for this beauty at a price like that.

    Base Ta26

    I've seen loads of people round here running suspension forks on them. Then again, they were all chavvy scums, so make of that what you will, haha.

    Base Ta26

    I'm sure theres a video of riders 'auditioning' for the Base Bikes team knocking about somewhere??
  14. I dunno if it'll fix your problem but I defragmented my hard drive and did a disk clean up, and my computer ran a lot faster. Could give that a go?

    Base Ta26

    I'm riding a Base at the moment, and I love it. I don't remember ever hearing of one breaking, except when ridden with out a seat/post. Get one!

    Drink!

    Staropramen is beautiful. JD aswell. Non alcoholic........whole milk and diet cherry coke.
  18. Nice, you're quite the photographer Adam! I didn't know Martin rode much anymore. Is that still the A2?
  19. Only others I can think of would be Viz or Zhi? EDIT - Aorta rim? http://www.selectbikes.com/index.php?act=v...p;productId=120
  20. Yeah, that pretty much sums up how good Heatsink Reds are

    My Name Is Earl

    "If you kids don't start behavin', I'm gonna slap you so hard you switch colours!" I love My Name is Earl. I still haven't remembered to watch the new season though, so I'm just gonna wait til its out on DVD instead of starting watching part way through. Is it as good as season 1?
  22. That is SO nice. How does it ride?
  23. Looks really nice, but I just don't like the blue graphics for some reason
