  1. He's already come 2nd to Gilles twice this year in the world cups and 3rd over all. Good video, about time someone made a good one of him Just watched it twice and can't decide which line I like best it's either 2mins 2.40 or that massive side hope at 2.45 ???
  2. Think he's talking about the old ones which snapped a fair bit on the weld
  3. Yea hopefully they will make some carbon forks with tapered headtube in the future.
  4. So how comes Sam k has them ?
  5. Yea you can use normal forks Hope make the headsets to fit
  6. From what you can see in the picture there is no radius at the corner of the bearing diameter. That will help it snap. Is the rider left footed ?
  7. Depends on tyre pressure. If your running low pressure less than 17/19psi where you rim out a fair bit you will flat spot the rim easy. But normal pressure it should be plenty strong enought Save about 30 grams probly
  8. Drill a cleance hole in the snail cam just of centre near axle hole. Get longer bolts and bolt the cams on to the chain stay. Might need a counter sunk bolt for drive side You need to play about with the position of them then take the wheel out to do the drive side up. You can just use the non drive side to get the tenstion. Or just machine the hub
  9. They are out of stock of the new one but they just thought that the old one would pass for it. Same price so I can see why they tried it. I'm sure most people wouldn't have noticed but if you actually ordered that for a reason then I can see why you would be pissed off. I'm sure if it was a £500 frame alot more people may be pissed off. Good luck getting what you need
  10. Maybe your lucky or it's the climate over there/here send it to me and I will see how long it lasts me
  11. It's the lock ring and centre which are ti They last just like the sl. Only problem iv found is with some pawls breaking but also had this with some of the newer sl pawls. I expect they changed the material on pawls as I still have one of the first sl's from 09 which sounds much louder. The springs are different also.
  12. Iv got a box of 8/9 levers that just piss out. 2 pairs had only original bleed with magura oil as I found water to f**k them in a week rather than the 4 months some lasted on the blood In time urs will leak and you will understand our point. (maxx and I )
  13. Out of interest how many of the new maguras have you got that don't leak ?
  14. Ye I had some before when trial tech were out of stock. Brakes shit and they lasted 2 months if that Trialtech last me 3/5 months and brakes alot better
  15. I think it's just the force us trials riders pull the lever with flexing the whole body in to an arch shape then rubbing on the piston. Only thing I can think of is more clearance on the piston. Or an extra o ring on the end of the piston to stop plastic on plastic abrasion
  16. All of mine have leaked eventually. Longest lasted 4 months I would love to use them if they lasted. They have more power compared with older Maguras I have gone back to 05 now
  17. To be honest Im not going to repeat myself all the time. I have told you lot it's safe, just use some comon sense when you order. I'm not going to tell you what to do only to be held responsible if it goes wrong. Goggle is the answer to all ? Vat is the only thing you can be charged I think %20 But don't quote me on that Grow some balls
  18. Did any one see that tv program with Danny mac and guy Martin? Basically explaining how some peoples brain favours taking the risk rather than not. Small amount of people like Danny and guy don't see the risk as great as reward.. Normally labeled thril seekers!
  19. Just wondering why ever one seems to associate loud brakes with good brakes? I hate loud brakes. I needed ear plugs before but I put up with it because they worked. I always loved koxx browns with there swoosh sound and amazing performance. How many people consider the sound of the pads when taking their pick of pads ???
