  1. Axel Nuts

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    Cool. If you've got a bike shop anywhere near you they should be able to help out. You're just after a set of nuts for 10mm axles (or 14mm if they've buggered up the setups now? Pretty sure they're normal though...), which are the generic axle size, really. If you need a 15mm spanner to do them up they'll be 10mm axle and if it's more than that it'll be 14mm, so just try that I guess...

    Mark that aint precisly right because my back 10 mm hub uses a 17mm spanner to undo and do up.

  12. Coloured Drilled Rims

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    Local hardware shop. Buy some insulating tape. Buy 2 rolls. Probably come to about 80p.

    Sorted :)

    Couldn't agree more Mark. I wanted red rim tape for my rear drilled rim bought 1 small roll of insulation tape and I thought it did the job better than rim tape. The cost of the tape is 35p at my hardware shop and is very worth it. Obviously if you need it for two rims you will need 2 rolls. It will cost you no more than a quid to do this.

    Hope this helped.

  17. Spray Painting

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    There are a few ways I have done this before,

    1. Get a flat blade screwdriver just smaller than the size of the allen key head on the bolt. Place it in the bolt and smack is a few times hard with a hammer. You will now have groves in your bolt but you can get it in and out.

    2. Glue an allen key to the bolt with super glue, leave it over night to dry and screw it out. Works everytime.

    OR you could spray your frame with your choice of colour following the step by step guide i gave you. then mask up the frame around the bash and spray the bash a different colour.

    Cheers Matt.

    Hello this is how I sprayed my frame,

    Step 1

    Take your bike apart so your frame is bare (remove bottom bracket, headset cups etc)

    Step 2

    Sand down frame until the lacquer has been removed. No need to go to bare metal. To make this even easier I recommend using a electric sander. A black and decker mouse is good for this.

    Step 3

    Paint your frame with primer. For darker colours like black use red primer. For lighter colours like yellow use grey primer. Leave each coat of primer for 15 to 20 minutes between each coat. I recommend about 3 coats of primer.

    Step 4

    Leave primer to fully harden for 24 hours.

    Step 5

    Now with very fine sand paper gently roughen up the primer surface this will help the paint to stick better.

    Step 6

    Now you are ready to spray the colour onto your frame.

    Step 7

    Spray the colour onto your frame until no primer can be seen this is your first coat. Leave for 15 to 20 minutes. I again recommend 3 coats of colour.

    Step 8

    Leave colour to fully harden for 24 hours.

    Step 9

    Your are now ready to spray your lacquer.

    Step 10

    Spray your lacquer straight onto your paint surface. Leave each coat for 15 to 20 minutes. I again recommend 3 coats of lacquer.

    Step 11

    LEave lacquer to fully harden for 24 hours.

    Step 12

    After 3 days of spraying your frame is now ready to build.

    Step 13

    Build up your bike and go ride.

    I hope this helps you man. I also recommend you cover over any threads on your frame. For example your magura mount thread and your bottom bracket threads. A good way to do this is mask them up.

    Cheers

    Hi, the other day my bottom bracket came through the post with my zona bash plate for my bike which i am building up. The length of the bottom bracket is 127.5mm which is the only bottom bracket that I can get to fit as 122.5 was to small. So I fitted it all on tightened my cranks to my bottom bracket put on my bash plate and my freewheel is not covered the by that bash. I'm running a 18t eno trials freewheel on onza musleman cranks. My cranks bolts are done up as tight as possible by my dad so that is not the issue. The freewheel sticks out about 5mm.

    So what I want to know is will this be ok?

    Will it cause any damage to my eno?

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Cheers Matt.

  25. My Review On The Fsa Pig Unsealed Headset.

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    Hi I have had this headset for over 2 years now. It's been back and forth from my bmx's and trial's bikes.

    The headset cost me £15 from my local bike shop and since I bought it I have never regretted it. It's still as smooth as the day I bought it.

    Picture

    Good Points

    1. Very smooth

    2. Long lasting

    3. Needs very little maintenance

    4. Very cheap

    Bad Points

    I have not come across any yet.

    The Headset includes

    1. Complete headset including bearings, headset cups, fork races

    2. Also comes with top cap and bolt with star fangled nut.

    3. Has free fsa full speed ahead sticker

    4. Comes with step by step guide instructions to fit your headset.

    The headset can be bought in 1 1/8 and 1.5 sizing for non threaded forks.

    Overall this headset is amazing very durable and very smooth. for £15 you can not go wrong. (Y)

    I give this headset 10 out of 10 and recommend it to any bike rider.

    Hope this helps some of you when choosing your headset.

    Thanks Matt
