  1. Plain old water to get them on....could try some form of mild glue? not sure what though...
  2. Viz are good if you replace the axle with a nonthreaded one and file the bearing preloaders out slightly... Onza t-master are solid as fek with a new cro-mo axle rockman BUB seem damn good, and a reasonable weight.
  3. If its all the time, then the rotor may not be parallel to the mount. In this case the mount needs to be faced. orrr You could have a sticky piston that is causing one pad to drag on the rotor . orrrr The caliper needs to be moved away from the rotor and centralised ( this should be relatively easy to spot ) The rotor should be runing back in the middle of the cut-out in the caliper.
  4. Means either the bearings are munched, or when you tighten the bolts it forces something against the shell or the plastic dust cover of the bearing. I had the same problem when my snailcam rubbed against my hub shell. A very small washer sorted it
  5. Or maybe chain rubbing on frame...freewheel spins freely? BB really stiff?
  6. Try pm-ing muel ...he made one for his Echo lite Edit: disc adaptor on bike How to make one
  7. Over tightened hub bolts? snailcams binding on the hub shell or bearing? Rubbing disc brake?
  8. Hardly cheap...I'd go for a tensile Ace or an Echo SL meself
  9. They will weaken the frame to some extent...at the end of the day youre stressing a metal that's very vulnerable to fatigue. I wouldnt worry to omuch if it isn't a really compy frame, or the dents are less than 5mm deep.
  10. I think thats the wrong lever...as the moto takes a different style lever. The Hope has to be bled with dot 4 or 5.1 ( as it says on the bore cap )
  11. bleed brake, clamp pads into slaves with molegrips / vice/ hench hands. Slowly pull lever and watch for leaks. Will probably be the lever seal, or shroud nut connections.
  12. Ye will need new spokes, and have to move your brake downwards ( if you have the nifty ones with two positions for the magura ) if not then I'm afraid you're buggered
  13. 10w good quality car oil...Chirs King recommends it
  14. Its a very weird thread dude....some kind of imperial. I do have the right tap at college though.
  15. Chuuuuune Hilltop Hoods, you like any other Aussie Hip-hop... Really like your style dude
  16. Looks sick, love all the new Ano frames nowadays
  17. Alex Dark

  18. My coustellier V1 is cracked directly from a big downtube dent. Still wouldn't run an armordillo though...rather make something that looks cooler and works better
  19. Bigger rotor...more leverage round hub, more bite and hold. Smaller rotor...the opposite
  20. Ah research needed Edit: Doesn't really seem suited for aluminium...and will probably cost an arm and a leg to have done
