friend of mine has a white tryall rim....used it for getting on for 2 years now with some onza citrus's...brake is mint and paint shows no sign of wearing through Urbans may look a little odd on the monty...just whack em on and see; i say

As above....havent ridden plymouth for a few weeks and the weather's taken a turn for the better......so post in here if you're thinking or riding Thanks, Alex Oh, and if anyone has an avid caliper i could borrow / buy....id love them forever

i quite like the adamant a3....pythons dont ride that well IMO

he's talking about flipping the freewhee; "i think "

whatever you do dont buy brand new....you get bugger all for your money.. go 2nd hand and you'll pick up a pretty amazing spec t-pro for around £300

monty pr stem on there? eugh....

id remove the crabk to see if its rounded......you may be able to bodge it even if it is....pm me and ill tell you , cant be bothered to explain it in here

bit high bb...but i really like the lloks of those.... ( probably because my frame looks almost identical...but hey! )

right.,..you need a vice; a sharp knife, 3mm allen key, 5mm allen key, 4mm allen key, lube of some sort, some rubber, 8mm spanner Remove the damaged crossover from the brake with an 8mm spanner. No cut the barbs out of the plastic hosing. Measure the old crossover and cut it with a sharp knife to ensure a clean cut. Now clamp the hosing in s avice eith the rubber around it to avoid crushing the pipe. leave around 1.5cm of pipe showing out of the vice. Now put a drop / dab of lube on the barb ( i use washing up liquid ) and proceed to tap it gently into the clamped hosing. repeat for the other side. Now refit the crossover....wind out the tpa ( bolt sticking out of the blade that pokes the piston ) and take out both bleed bolts. Now ... Either use a syringe and some mineral oil ( either royal blood or citroen clutch fluid )......in this case attach the syringe and pipe to the master cylinder wioth the use of another barb and a apiece of pipe or do a bath bleed.......immerse the whole brake int he bath ensuring the bleed bolts are under water. Now, cover the bleed bolt at the lever, pump the lever, release and then at the same time release your finger off the bleed hole.....repeat around 40 times to ensure a good bleed. Now; refit both bleed bolts and thighten them. Note; as your asking how to bleed your brake i can assume you've got an oil bleed int here.....in which case if you wnat to bleed with water you should first remove as much oil as possible from the syetm ( i personally run a tap therough the sytem )

might try this; got a spare steerer tube kicking round.....

fook knows then...ive sorted loads out that way

really tempted to spray my zenith this colour.... but red wheels and blue / fluro hm

bleed it, hold one side of the brake so the piston can't extend, apply oil to the (other) lazy piston........repeat and it should have solved your problem sounds liek the piston is getting jammed in the lever......take the blade and tpa off, and all the hoses and bleed screws, now get a 2mm allen key, poke it in the bleed screw hole until the piston pushes out; clean the piston and inside of the lever body; reassemble and rebleed

i loved the 07 pure one of the nicest bikes ive ever ridden...perfect geo IMO

tried grinding it and it didnt work.... Im going to try and put some coust material instead of the standard pads....maybe some tar as well? on a more serious note, my mates mono m4 is okay for trials..., bit i think im going to get a bb7 setup then.....ive got lever and cable ; just need rotor, caliper... now in my wanted topic

those 24/7 cranks, the trials ones are copies of the old tensile cranks......fairly strong ; although the old ones did tend to snap at the bottom of that cnc'd scoop out at the front

get an echo hifi stem....kepp the bars if you like them; if not i d change to some zoo risers personally

looks pretty sweet...apart from the dinky stem...must feel very low at the fron end

Right, iVe got a hope mono mini on the front of my zenith at the moment and it sucks....no power whatsoever; althoughit does have the original pads in it.... Should i: a) put some ebc reds in it to boost the power, or get a bb7 caliper as i have a spare lever, cable and pads for this brake Im running it on a stock, urbans with a 180mm rotor

im up for this....just trying to get some time to do it should be saweet... any rule against having two peoplein oine video?

he's not wanting another....i assume he's just trying to find out if anyone rides one of these....

have a look at this: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=20597

new phase bike? i might have a new bike by then as well;)

wingbars are 25.4....just run a standard clamp stem, i love mine, far better than the onza carbons or base bars i used to run

on a seperate note...id ont really have a front brake atm...so has anyone got a spare BB7 calliper?...willing to pay going rate
