Sweeet, good advice everyone! Im thinking something like this: hitachi or Bosch

right well i will be doing a fair bit of other work with it... ive done a lot to my mototrial project with a sanding disc, and a fair amount of cutting recently. I tend to side with you though luke, something like a "cheap" ( low-end ) Bosch seems like the way to go

As above really, my cheapy rolson grinder has just died so looking for a replacement. Needs to be really good quality and ideally variable speed. Any ideas? ( obviously 115-125mm size for grinding rims )

Dont name my bike anything, but Colin the Clio is a firm favourite hah ( as is Margaret the Mini for my mates clubman )

Isopropyl alcohol has saved my front brake at least 3 times now. Ebay it

Looks great... think im going to get one of those when I get some money / when i break the Zhi

Personally Id stay well away from the echo tyres! Stiky lite or eagle claw for me on the back... or if you cant afford it go for creepy crawler. Up front, i reckon the only tyre to go for is the try-all out of my experience

Great, looking forward to seeing you two then

Id drill it... ive modified loads before and its always been fine as long as you dont go mental with it

Actually really looking forward to riding with you again Prawn, I havent been to a big ride since the Pompy one in 09 when i kipped on your floor . Let me know if youre ever down south dude edit: still lots better than me as well I see!

Exactly my thoughts.... best location ever

I dont really understand how a lot of other companies seem to be heading towards the 24/25mm size slave piston sizes...and thus dealing with the heating issues. Im probably wrong, but aren't Formula 24mm? As has been stated a few times, it's always been my understanding that more rotor material in contact with the pad increases hold, and the more cut outs increases bite.

I wouldnt use a wire brush to help remove the paint, fine 0 grade wire wool or similar for that. You can buy a buffing wheel from halfords or similar, layers of cloth that buffs really nicely.

I haven't done a durometer test or anything on them, but in *my opinion* there is a marked difference between the two; as Ali stated this could be to do with any of the variables listed. I haven't personally used TNN LGM's but I've seen two sets that were utter shite....again just what I have seen and not necessarily a proper experience of the pads as a whole, compound or the company.

trialprod.com. Worth it is all I'll say! Don't want to spark off another debate

127 x27* rockman/ zhi / try-all What I use on the Z3R

That was ace! hah really enjoyed that, the style was cool and pretty original I thought.

Looks like the concept art for it? Computer modelled I reckon.

Squabbling aside.... sweet video, really liked it. Good to see someone else on a Z3R

yup thats exactly it....seen so many go there so I'd really advise it!

Stiff links look scary...nice bike apart from that

Loads of us... if youre about this weekend ill ride if you fancy it

Looks sweet, glad you FINALLY got it
