Your friendly local car shop/hardware store should stock some lithium grease. It's not bike specific, so take a look around

I don't even know why you'd care and therefore why i'm writing this, however i recieved mine today.

What car is it, out of interest? Disks all round? Vented rotors?

Jesus that OTN post was HOT.

Is this happening on the Fiat?

Retina-tastic!

Possibly less restrictive shin guards? We all hit our shins in pretty much the same place, and all it would need is a 2" bit of plastic along the length of the shin to stop pedal impacts hurting so much. Maybe finding a way to attach that without losing movement or annoying padding/straps? Either way, good luck!

If the ratchet ring (the bit with the teeth on) is knackered, send it to Hope.

I think one of the problems would be consistency. You would need to do it by hand, and this means that each grind will be slightly different as the grinding disk wears out and the poor soul employed as 'rim grinder-er' gets bored out of skull doing it. There's also some legal shit that could occur, with daddy buying his son a ground rim, then his brake pads wearing out quick and daddy filing a law suit. Hardened alu could pose huge problems in the bending and extruding process that goes into making a rim. There was a couple of pre-production rims that had a machine-ground knurled surface, but it was too much effort for not much gain, in that the knurl was shit and ate pads for breakfast.

Don't hate, appreciate. f**k the haters Gangsta!

Wackid.. Where was that held out of interest?

I'd hit the one holding the red cardigan.

A Marmot. Had it since day one. I saw one from the ski lift nuzzling in some rocks in France, and found a cafe named after the cuddly little critters.

Take the wheel out of the bike and pull the lever. If the brake lever bottoms out at a fairly reasonable point (i.e. where it would if you had brake pads in) then you'll need to do what Ali C said. If the lever goes all the way to the bar without bottoming out, something else is wrong.

If set up correctly with good pads, then yes they can be as good as Maguras. As with all brakes, it's how you set them up that counts.

I'm a Cockney geeza.

In the words of Ricky Gervais, 'That was before racism was bad'. I think stereotyping and racism are different things, everyone stereotypes in the media, and things would get confusing if they didn't stereotype.

Different people have different results. It really is a case of suck it and see. Grinding disks can be picked up from between 80p and £1.20, so it's not a life changing decision between stone and metal cutting, buy one of each. Peoples grinders all grind at differnet speeds, people hold the rim at different angles, they move the grinders at different speeds down the rim, they go over bits of the rim twice, etc etc. You just have to try it on your rim, and see what you find best.

Nicholas David Wood... Donno That website made me laugh, i read Fuller then Tucker quickly and came out with f**ker.

If you've never bled a set, where did you buy 8 sets from already filled with water?

Other people know more about glue 'n' shit, but once glued and cured, get some Brasso on those bad boys to polish up the glued area. Good luck!

Agreed... But i think everyone prefers the feel of water, but some have had problems with the seals drying out and leaking. I've been using water and anti-freeze for about a year, and havn't had any problems.

Reminds me of a pregnant dinosaur.

^ Heh, at least i didn't catch them at it. < Everyone loves a small mammal \/ Folds his toilet paper

Yeh, i'm not sure the years between birth and 13 or so count. Is this to do with a religeous belief or what?
