  1. the diaphragm ? the reservoir at the top? Right; should be able to solve the sticking piston now..... right; another question ( sorry about this ) i.ve got some urban forks with a hope 180mm disk, do i need any form of adaptor or will it work okay ?( ive fitted it but it always seems to rub.....the pads dont seem to be parallel with the rotor, so i think the disc mount on the fork might be bent in some way...its definitely rubbing on the pads ; not the calliper
  2. sweet, thanks muel; thought you'd be the one to ask on this one if i had no replies .... ill do that tonight. Ive never had a disc brake on any of my bikes before so im totallly new to this....i think its dropped a bleed as well; when the lever's fully depressed only one piston moves, and thats only by about 1mm or so....but both pistons are sticking out by at least 2mm, so does that mean they're not returning, or i have to rebleed it as well?
  3. Right, got a hope mono mini with my new dmr so i decided to try it out on the trials bike...problem is i think its got sticky pistons...anyone know how to solve it? apparently wd40 works, some say silicone grease...so could someone with experience on these brakes please shed some light? Oh, and whats the best thing to clean padss? i heard it was ISA ( isopropyl alcohol ) but i vant find where to get some....
  4. so tempted to spray my zenith in the sky red colours
  5. basically; no validation = no-one trusts you.... i can understand the system; it does work and stops some scammers/ total tards ( not insinuating that you're either ) But i know it sucks for you to be honest.... Oh well; this thread'll get closed soon...
  6. apparently so.... Adam G, i dont think constantly is right....but whatever; advice taken, im talking away from forum now
  7. whats your email? ill talk to you there about the ronnie and reggie wheelset
  8. loses power im sure....like having reverse mount on forks increases power because its more weight...even mods are going to bashring now ( well, alot of them ) Definitely, so much better than anything else; and a 4 finger 04 lever blade Ashton aren't with orange, they're with diamondback now.... Hydroformings a great idea.....nearly all £500+ xc / mountain bikes have hydroforming on them now, so why not the majorit of £1000 trials bikes? Splined is a great idea...although ill bet tensile are working on it..
  9. come one...some other people need to come as well!
  10. you could go for one of the limited edition cnc'd magura boosters...the new evo mounts and boosters arent any stiffer than the old ones....and i dont think and 4 bolt booster s will fit on that setup
