  1. yea thats what happened when iv used it in the past, its ok for downhill bike and xc bikes as they go fast enough to heat the disc up and the shit comes off then, but for trials you never really get ur discs hot, so iv stayed clear off it from then on.
  2. i have some alloy ones i made on a miller if any one wants some for an alloy frame
  3. you know when you got to 2 wheels soem times and just skim the front wheel on the way up and the way it makes you go up easyer, well thats what you wanna aim for just glance the front wheel to start with then you will get it

    What Frame?

    isnt that a bunlag frmae or was it a zippy
  5. take the pads and rotor off wash them in hot water with fairy, put the pads in the oven for a bit, the oil will evaporate from them then, when you put them back on bed them in like normal. dont bother with disc break cleaner as they are mostly oil based so the leave a residue after and that makes the brake shit (Y)
  6. them snow cat rims look like the new koxx rims
  7. c2 is a rather powerful brake just bit heavy then the new hopes, and lets face it your never gonna get pump doing trials c2 has more than enought power for the rear :(
  8. hope m4 185mm= more power than an magura, iv been saying this for years, i loved mine :(
  9. them are his home made forks to and from what i can see in the pic hes using a hope xc 4 on the front and hes using a hope xc4 lever for the rear maggy
  10. DT spokes art cheap they are the best spoke maker money can buy!!! imo
  11. they are about the same standard as the 521 but not quite as good, get the rhino xxl so summit a bit wider. they are nice rims when build well :-
  12. lesson had a disc ages ago was a c2 mounted between the stays, well before any others
  13. i dont see why they couldnt, if they had the tool, the toll wouldnt be that hard to make, if you had a lathe and a miller, but i expect they dont have the tool
  14. yes the bar on a dh bike is to keep the disc floating and not compress the sus whne braking, aslo the froce which kills frames is when you land on eadge of summt and the wheel is pulling back on the disc/frame, likle when you back wheel summit and extend ur body. i used to run an m4 and it was an amazing brake better than any magura, BUT it snapped 4 frames so i gave up on it, i did as lesson if he could make me a frame with the disc between the stays but the m4 was to big to fit. BUT now that the magura marta is around it would fit betwen the stays, and they have loads of power, i do wish they were out when i had my disc, oh well would be to much expence for me to get one now so im not going to bother. :sleeping: oh thats a bit long,sorry for going on and on and on and on :">
  15. make sure the bolt isnt not shitty alloy one or a very small one as it will snap but you wont know anout it and thus the ring will rip into ur drive shell :sleeping:
  16. just tell them its not a bike, and ur just playing. they cant class it as a bike, just like a unicycle no fines for ridding one on the pavement, when i was small i got stopped on the road on my toy go cart(playing on the road by my house) but the police man couldnt do any thing he just told my rents not to let me do it again. as they was not law saying that a kid cant do it
  17. make ur own just like i did, base is 5mm wide :sleeping:
  18. mr kenny what a class bloke :) met him in porthcawl
  19. sunn double wide, and a large drill bit, works out to be 10 grams lighter than a koxx rim. thats what ali c's one was havnt put mine on the scales, but its f**king strong and wide
  20. Rubber Tarmacing, um whats that ? :">
  21. dont bother with it, xc brake :blink:
  22. well a helicoil is just like a spring it fills the gap, and an incert is like an incert explains its self really :blink:
  23. yea you would need to drill the hole to 5.2mm then use the tap which comes with the helicoil set, the heliciol and tap set consists of 1 drill bit, 1 tap, and some helicoils you must use the correct tap,but id go for what i said in another post, a thread incert just like what zoo_rider is on about (Y)
  24. onza sell it unex i think it is
  25. its all in the technique i think i just pick up the grinder and go for it never look at the disc(well just to check its not gonna explode and its safe) :">
