Its not being comfy, its the fact that if the bars are the same angle as your arms then everythings in line. Its hard to explain. I know what I mean. Sorry, if anyone knows what I mean, and can explain it better, please do. :P

Middleburns have always snapped. Not many though. What you don't think about is how many more poeple have registered with the forum, so your bound to see more broken middlenburns. Like I have noticed now that posts move much faster down the page than the old skool days of trials forum. :P

I can't really see the problem with it on a track bike. Where does this huge force come from too. As far as I'm aware all they do is pedal, sure they pedal fast but still it can't be that much of a force.

Well if theres a few left, in shops, or if they have any I'm sure they would sell them for cheaper.

How can you tell their swept forwards. To see the actuall sweep of the bars you have to go up dam close and at the side of the bars. I'm not saying that having the sweep angled backwards is the best for everything, I'm just saying thats the best way for bunnyhopping up things. The angle of your arms sound be round about the same as the sweep. I angle them back so when I crouch for a bunnyhop up something I get max power.

Made with reynolds tubing. So he'll be waiting for it to come in before he can make it. I was going to get a curtis but seing as the leeson comes with seat post, seat and BB I'll for that.

I was thinking that the might charge him seing as he lives in america. Maybe they won't who knows. Judging by the service they provide they probabbly won't.

In their opinion they've fixed the only thing that was wrong, the down tube. They've lowered the price by £50. I think they've done well. If they think a designs working well then why change it?

You might want to be carefull with putting the bars too forward as it can damage your wrists. Most of us need these for other activities other than bikes. A good way to get the most out of your bars is too look at which way the sweep of the bars go at the grip by looking at the bike from side on. By doing this you can angle the bars to what angle your arms would be when your just pulling up for a backwheel. Therefore increasing the height you go by maximizing the power you are using. This especially works with bunnyhopping straight up, as well as pedal hops. It may feel horrible but leave it on for a day and you should get used to it and maybe notice an improvement staright away. Tilting the bars forward may give you better standover your front wheel, but it also makes other thigns lot harder. Whilst killing your wrists.

Just send them off with a little letter explaining your situation. Give them your address and contact details. I'm sure they'll be able to help. They may make you pay for postage but chances are your going to get some free cranks.

Can anyone helpe me. Third time I've posted asking for help and still arghhh its annnoooooying. -
In my opinion it is one of the best single speed hubs going out there. My friend craig has been using his for street/dirt/park and he is one crazy cat. He was in MBUK not so long ago as he tied first place in the Vandal Jib Jam. He's had his for at least two years and too my knowledge has done no maintenence to it. Still runs smooth and hasn't broke at all. Go for it, well worth the money.

Can anyone help please. I really want to get on here. I have macromedia but it isn't loading. Please help,. -
Your doing exactly what I started doing. Don't. Get your good foot forward and then put in a full pedal stroke so that your good foot lands forward when you land on the back wheel. It will take a while to get timing right but keep practising.

Yeah. I'm a microwave expert. It will cause alot of problems, invloving the microwave no longer working. IF ANYONE WANTS REAL MICROWAVE FUN CHUCK A BAR OF SOAP IN IT. Do it right now won't damage the microwave, make sure you put it on a plate though. Watch it all the time. So it don't get to *** you'll see what happens.

It dosn't work for me. I really want to have a go at this. Argh. -
Water is alot better than standard Magura Blood. Stiffer and much easier to pull. Seems to return quicker too. Make sure if you ever use it use deionised water from most car type shops. Or if your clever like me get it out of your tumble drier.

If you had asked if anyone had changed from flat bars to the new zoos i'd have to say no. But. My friend joe has, and I've ridden the bik when the flats were on there and the zoos. The zoos are much better as they are more comfy, they have a better sweep to them. Also making ups eaiser and also setting up the bars too how you like them is a little easier too. Plus they look nice.

I've just found that out, I've been running a mini seat and guess what? Yes thats right its cracked. Wayy hay.

The freehub side usually has more tension in it. If you build the wheel properlly. I've had wheels built by chainreaction, wiggle, one from the tart and the ones done by myself all have had shorter spokes on the drivside and the driveside spokes were always tensioned more.
-
I'm going to try and get myself some leeson forks too. For 24" with the vee mounts mounted backwards. They look really nice.
-
Try and tighten the non driveside spokes but 1/4 of a turn and loosen the driveside by 1/4 of a turn. Try and get it closer to the non driveside stay. When you put power through the chaindrive it pulls the wheel over. I think running a booster may help with this problem.

Try using some penatrate on it. Its thinner than water. It may loosen it up, other than that I have no idea.
