  1. what bar and stem have you got on the Rex? Al depends on that really....
  2. :| personal preference, tyre type, terrain, rider weight all affect this.... Just experiment with different pressures. Start at 25 psi, then let it down in increments until you find a happy medium
  3. hah No worries man shame you had to kill the cog, but oh well
  4. take the pads out, then lever the pistons apart * carefully* with a plastic tyre lever
  5. As you both ride mod, im willing to bet both of you haven't ever ran a rear vee?
  6. New pads orrr.... try gritty mud on the pads/rotor
  7. Mint deal that rex I'd get that if you want a new stock for sure
  8. Alex Dark

    Pedals?

    I love mine strong, hold pins well,. and light as fek
  9. Magura : Lighter if you have maggura mounts, easier to get a aworking setup, generally cheaper than a comparable vee, easier to upgrade, better bite, less hassle to setup, mod's and vee's tend not to go too well ( rear vee that is ) Vee: Better hold with a decent setup, lighter if you have vee mounts, no bleeding/split hoses issues, quieter, works better backwards Edit: oh and better pad selection with magura
  10. Ride in the rain/ whack some water on the rotor....if not it'll be new pads and boil the rotor
  11. Yeh they're pretty damn nice to ride, higher bb version of the old coust mk1 frame pretty much, so sound geo
  12. erm people use modstock all the time.... definite tra called the "angelboy" a mock.....may not be used, but surely easier if people know what it means
  13. Now that actually looks damn nice....good job tris i'm well impressed..... now where's my coust i need a bike dude!
  14. That helped, and in a humorous way too That didn't
  15. FFW = front freewheel IS = international standard DD = dual disc HS= headset HA = head-angle Mock= stock with 20" front wheel Mod-Stock = stock with 116 spacing rear end to take mod hub
  16. Righto, Got a t-master front hub and a rear try-all hub (satin black with big white tryall logo) with blown bearings. Anyone got any idea what sizes I'd need? I'm going to email tarty tomorrow, but just thought id post this up just in case Also, just wondering how the best way to get old bearing outer shells out of a hub, apart from a dremel as i don't have one . Sure At least a few of you must have had this problem.
  17. i was going to point that out.....
  18. I agree...looks mint, and geo looks pretty noice as well
  19. Wrong section dude.... Could be that the o-ring has perished somehow and needs replacing, or the lever body has a scratched bore and will need replacing.
  20. I'd always recommend a KMC kool chain only snapped one in about 2 years
  21. My thoughts exactly i'd just use a bmx ISO...or iuse a front freewheel, but hey, your pro2
  22. Hmm, maybe, worse back-wheel control?....Surely there's a good reason stay length has slowly come down, until 380 is the accepted norm?
