  1. May possibly have to mill the adaptor down... I've done this before with success Check yer wheels in straight? Dial in the red dials so pads are right out away from the rotor and see if you can move the caliper so the rotor doesn't rub...Also, bent rotor?
  2. Used both...prefer the Rain King personally Feels more bouncy and less "dead" than the Kaiser. Wear rate is a bit better than the Maxxis although not massively for me....
  3. Try-all for mod are damned good, the egale claws fold so badly I thought......rear maxxis or new try-all shift As for stock, rain King hands down
  4. Headtube looks a bit pointless.....and the rearward facing seat tube is kinda interesting.. a la Zhi Z2
  5. Budget? Mod or stock? Disc needed? Freehub or fixed? Spoke Hole?
  6. Looks lovely! Small block 8 on the front of the stock now...should be interesting
  7. Apparently....watch the winter training video on his coustellier V2.....he's got DOB forks and what I assume to be dob rims
  8. Talking to Joe seddon...he said that Giaco's rear stock rim was amazing, brake worked better than any he'd seen.
  9. Local Garden centre...got about 20 odd now
  10. I'm missing all the connectors that join the Hose into the master cylinder of the hope.....can someone show me which parts I need to buy to make it work? I *think* I need 5, 10, 2, 8 from here.
  11. Yep, I used their idea for the brake mount......massive amount better than a traditional setup thats for sure!
  12. Sounds like a dead bleed with the TPA wound right in. The piston is just hitting the back of the barrel causing that rock hard feeling.
  13. Anyone know where to get Small Block 8's 26" cheap? Or anyone got Trialtech stock forks FS

      pm me bout forks might have a deal

  15. Hm...stronger than Urbans Ali? I want front magura..I'm fed up with everything else. I snap Avid BB7 calipers, my Hope just wont bite properly (any advice?! )and if I went Vee I'd need a whole new setup. So it's back full circle to Magura which begs the question which forks? Cannot justify or afford trialtechs....at least new.
  16. Smart Guys? Opposite about Smart Guys or Fly Guys Ali? Same Leg as the Viz which is pretty damn similar to the Trialtech...just thinner steerer tube?
  17. Got some Fly guys and wondering what people though of them really...cant be bothered to go to the hassle of chopping the steerer etc if they're actually really weak or flawed in some way. I don't ride hard...do fair amount of taps and gaps to fronts but NO hooks. Will be running them front magura mount. Anyone snapped em? How long if above? Reason for the change is im running some disc only urbans and ive got pretty pissed off with my Hope Mono Trial...really want to go back to front magura, but dont fancy ripping these forks apart.

    Fork

    The forks are way too long giving you some silly headtube angle and massively increasing the chance of you pulling the headtube off due to the silly leverage. Plus will ride like some silly chopper with a huge BB height.
  19. Stock Der Kaiser rear...Try-all front Mod Creepy Crawler rear.... kenda small block eight front 24 High roller rear.... dmr moto front
  20. Great company recommend muchly
