  1. The B20 has got the 110mm spacing, so you can run the king hub etc... My mate had one which ended up with a total of 7 cracks in i think, all around the seat tube/ seat stay join and the bb area... this may have been a one off problem with heat treatment or somthing, as it only lasted him 3 months :-
  2. Been seen before, but i like it :-
  3. Twitch in the eye, I get that (Y)
  4. Jonny Jones is running marzochi MX comp's or somthing? 85mm travel i believe. He seems rather in love with them, and i have to say, they did make that dimondback of his rideable, although i have not ridden the leeson yet :-
  5. I really wouldnt want to truse pop rivets for prolonged trials use :P Get a pop rivet gun from B&Q or such like shops :blink:
  6. i used accetone(sp?) on my Zoo, worked like a treat, but i guess if you dont have access to a hair dryer, accetone might be abit far fetched :blink:"
  7. DOT is possibly less compressable? I have never actually thought about that :wub: Just somthing I have read in previous topics (Y)
  8. they have the same length chain stay's, the CNC yoke is the same, and so is the drop out... I'm not sure about the seat stay's, but i'm pretty sure that the seat tube is the same length, meaning they would have the same length seat stays?! They are also made of the same material.
  9. How are they different? I assume we are talking about the older pure's?!
  10. mineral oil is also not going to get affected by the system heating up under heavy braking, like what is produced in DH XC etc... Remember that magura's are not trials specific. I'm running water and antifreeze in mine, and have had no problems :)
  11. Leeson? you could get a reasonably long one. and pretty much choose the geometry. Mine is the standard frame but 10mm longer front end. it's very flicky, and as they were originally intended as comp frames, they go well on the natural :)
  12. Where did you go to get yours made? and where did you get the tubing from? :huh:
  13. Well the average mo-ped must be... what?... 12HP? and they weigh alot more than a trials bike :blink: If you can make it work then :huh:
  14. i gave up at 89.5, the music bugged me :)
  15. Taking it to a garge is one thing i will not do! I don't see the point in giving them rediculous amounts of money to read some instructions out of a haynes manual and do nothing more than I can do myself. The only advantage is that they have obviously had more experience meaning they have got more idea's of what the problem would be... hense starting this topic, and talking to a few other people. :deej: Lee, what exactly is a gas annalyser? It sounds like an expensive piece of equipment when surely it can be done using tryal and error? afterall, it's only 1 screw i have to turn. :bunny:" Cheers for all the help guys :P
  16. Right, I have been out tonight, and before i left, i up'ed the idle speed, got to a friends, and then adjusted the mixture. after this it seemed to run ok. I then drove a fair few miles, before stopping to re-adjust the mixture to make sure i was not burning too much fuel... then it all went to pot. the engine wouldn't stay running, even with the choke (yes, i have a manual choke) on, i really had to keep the rev's up to get home. but then once i neared my house, things all seemed to work again. Whilst dropping off one of my friends, i then over heated, due to my radiator fan not working. So i have just been towed home... fun fun... :) I'll try the carb cleaner tomorow :P along with having another play with the mixture and idle speed. :bunny: Thanks for all the help.
  17. Whats a Rev counter?? :P" :- I have got the haynes manual, although i have not had a proper look through it yet... My dad said somthing about re-jetting the carb? would this be what you are talking about with the new needle? sounds like it could be. I would have thought all carb's run on the same principle... Cheers for that <_< :P
  18. I will be doing this tonight when I go out... But the car run's so much smoother, accelerates better, and just generall drives better with the "fancy bits" on, that I would like to keep them... Any idea's?
  19. Well I just drove to portsmouth and back (around 8-9 miles each way) and it cut out for the first time when I was 2 miles from home... so it was deffinatly warm. And it started doing it on a nice warm sunny day, so it's not the damp either. <_<
  20. Right, the main problem at the moment with my car is that my engine is cutting out when the rev's drop when i stop at junctions etc... I have checked my spark plugs, and they are all giving good sparks, the oil level is fine, i have petrol etc... It could be that, I fitted a "performance" air filter and an "induction kit". My theory is therefore that as I have now got alot more air going into the system, as I am slowing down there is too much air for the amount of rev's meaning that there is not enough fuel going into the engine. Does this make sense? Have I just answered my own question? If this is the case, is there a way of adjusting my carb so that it allows more fuel into the engine, other than increasing the idol speed... Or possibly adjusting the idol speed might be what I want to adjust?? My car is a Renault 5 campus 1.1L the only thing that isn't standard is the air filter and induction kit. Cheers for and help <_< Alex.
  21. Come on Sam, you no whats right. I'm 6'2" and i find my 1020 is perfect. I can tap, bunny hop, side hop, hook, spin... etc etc... Its just a good bike :) If I am honest, I do sometimes wish my bike was longer of side hops, but thats it. Everything else it is right at home with <_<
