  1. Yeah, its a lack of grease on the bolts. Its a good Idea to go over and check all of your bolts every once and a while.
  2. you could always try the eno eccentric hub but It seems to slip on people. I bet you could score it or something to make it stay still.
  3. Thats odd. Maybe your jockey wheels are not spinning well? or your hangers are crap. uh... if ur running a derraileur and you dont have it tensioned to the right place for your cog maybe its constantly pulling on it. Not too sure, thats all I could think of. unless u constantly lay ur bike on that side and it hits it. does your foot hit the derailleur?
  4. your brake lines look Crazzyy long, other than that looks cool.
  5. Yeah, Simtra makes white bars (heavy though) as for a stem.... not sure.
  6. Haha, Im running a shimano, feels like crap. I wonder If I can get a monty FW in the US....
  7. I live in california. www.webcyclery.com www.trialsin.com www.midwestbiketrials.com trialsin is in NY. Give him a call, He has quite a few options and can get you set up with a good bike. well, maybe ask a fellow rider before getting anything. My name on observedtrials.net is justfuzzit aswell. I just recently Got a Trials bike in the states. any questions, send me a PM on OTN or here. Oh yeah and this might help too... http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....f+manufacturers
  8. Yeah, they really need to get the brake line off the downtube. Ofcoarse Who is gonna hit it so high up?
  9. Ahh, you still have a few good teeth.
  10. Get goodridge lines If you want something nice and a lil more power.
  11. Sometimes the spokes, After being ridden a while shouldnt be re-used.
  12. Look online on how to late it up (typically 3 cross) You need: A truing stand Spoke wrenches A nipple driver (helps alot but dont need it) Spoke prep Take your spokes in a group of about 8 or so and dip the threaded ends in the spoke prep (just a little bit). Then move rub them together by placing them on a flat surace and shuffling them around threads up. Do that with the rest so all the threads are thinly covered and dry (let them sit, not touching eachother for a few mins) Lace up the wheel. and tighten all the spokes with the nipple driver til the nipple driver gets pushed out by the spoke coming through. Stick it in the truing stand and just make it round. Not perfect, just go around and true the wheel and keep doing it. blah blah, After that point I gave it to my brother haha. But hopefully the first part helps.
  13. www.trials-online.com has alot ov videoes and stuff on how to do certain stuff. Id check it out.
  14. My shimano housing Isnt cuting it. I still need a little more power in the rear. Nokon, would it make that big of a difference? What about imitations? I have a few different Options at my LBS. Avid flack jacket work any better? Yes, I know weve discussed this before. I have a more straight up question: How much more power does Nokon (and immitations of it) give you over regular shimano brake housing? Oh yeah, and can Avid SD 7 levers give you more power than SD 5's?
  15. yeah, its called a fixie. I use one to commute. Its what track bikes are. They were around before freewheels. it would suck because you would practically never have your foot position when you want it. I think the only way it would help is to trackstand for some people. and ride backwards.
  16. Im sorry what? Not familiar with that term. Oh and I made changes!! My stem is lower down and changed to a thompson.
  17. yeah, youll find out. Just wear a cup and shinguards in the meantime.

    same problem with a chris king unless i understand.. If its a park headset tool, just take off the bearing adapter thingies so its just the plain sides on the tool and use that, If something is sticking out in the middle, try using like a rotor or some other ring to go around the edge so it hits the outside, DO NOT use a block of wood. Unless you wuld like to destroy your frame.
  19. Well not really over the top, It isnt too heavy and has 28 spokes. The rim is sorta narrow too, I have a significant amount of tire roll. Strong though, Im thinking of looking for a 28 hole and 38mm wide. not sure if i can find one.
  20. Well I went with the BB-7's cause they are cheaper and seem to work well enough for what i need. I dont have the budget to buy the hopes. Maybe later on I will, Ive heard they have been problematic for some people. Of coarse people do stupid things. I would definitley like to try them out. It would be nice not to have that squishy feeling I have with My avids. They Work great though and are Very adjustable, Practically no tools needed.
  21. Aight, My pads finally broke in anyway. Soo yeah it works sweet. Still slips a little but not much.
  22. Has anyone done it? If so how did it work? What pads do you use? (im running avid BB-7's)
