  1. They're the bit's on the axle that screw into the hub to keep the bearings in. (To be blunt) If you've got a sealed hub, you wont have any... Flipp
  2. Yep - I thought so.... I tightened them and it was perfect... went riding for about 2 hours and it was all wobbly again Aahh well - new hub I guess...
  3. Hey, I thought it was just a couple of off chances, but every time I ride, my rear cones come loose. I had to do them up about every two rides, so I took it in to be serviced. (Popped my maggie open aswell so that needed fixing... ) It came back yesterday, just been out riding, and the back wheel's wobbling all over the place! Any help please? I've gotta keep this hub alive for a fortnight or so. Also, if you can link me up - or explain how to tighten the cones, much appriceated. I did know, but i've forgotten and am a bit unsure... Cheers, Flipp
  4. Should those bolts come with the hub if it is second hand?
  5. I have been looking at getting a new hub for my T-Pro. The T-Pro rear hub seems perfect, but I've been offered a T-Master rear hub. I looked at pictures of them, (I would upload them but I've not been validated yet) and it seems the T-Master hub has no axle?! Will a T-Master hub run in a T-Pro? And if so, how does it stay in? I see no axle, therefore I'm left with the obvious question: "How does it stay in the frame?" Would I be better off just getting the T-Pro hub? Thanks for any help, Flipp EDIT: I was looking on the tartybikes website. And also - is it that they expect you to put your own axle in it?
  6. ...Posted and doesn't matter any more...
  7. How come no one else has it under their name then? Or is it that they only show you your own warning rate? Flipp
  8. Ah.... Very sorry, didn't read the bit about which bike... I just assumed it was a mod :$ My mistake. But yeah - Ben's right - don't do what i said.. lol Flipp
  9. Ok, I know it's not particularly relevant other than that we're both new, but it's the most appropriate place i could find. What is the "Warn:0%" thing in my box? <------ Just there None of the other "newbies" have it i've noticed... Just me That's it from me... And welcome winky 1441 Flipp
  10. As the others said - if you like it, keep it. If not, Stem from Supercycles.co.uk It's the stem that comes on Onza T-Pro's and T-birds. A very good stem, I think, for £12.50. It's got a lot of rise on it, so it'll bring the bars up if they're too low for comfort. And they're black... when I read CroMo, I thought it'd be like chrome, the silver type. Just incase you wanted to know Flipp
  11. Well I meant both It was supposed to mean 48mm wide - AND 48 hole... But it looks like I need to spend a bit more money... Suppose that answers questions about the spokes too, no? Thanks anyway... Flipp
  12. As said, I have very little money, but I need a WIDE 19" rear rim. Only got a thin, 20" at the moment. :$ I've been building up a T-Pro (got frame for £80 which started it) - but my rim isn't wide enough for the maggies to lock on properly. Question is - can I get a 48 hole, super wide rim? I've been told i need an Onza Hog, or a TryAll, or a Koxx one, like - 47/48mm wide. But they only come in 32/36 spokes. I need 48 'cause that's the hub I've got (again, no money for a new hub). Also, the spokes at the minute cross over 3 others before hitting the rim, so I guess they'd be X3? Would they fit in a 19" rim or would i need new spokes aswell? 'Tis kinda urgent 'cause I can't ride with confidence untill the brakes work Unless, is there another way to bring the brakes in further? I've got them all the way in on the clamp things already, and got them bled about a week ago, the red twisley knob on the lever is all the way in (or out - whichever you call it to make it go in further) - but it still only touches the rim when the lever's like, nearly on the grips... Any help is much appreciated (sp?) Cheers, Flipp
