  1. i thinkits more to do with his timing when he pulls the lever, as hes so accurate he pulls the brake when the wheel is just landing and it not moving very fast so it doesnt make a lould squeal, try it your self pull brake when wheels spining slow not much noise pull when spining fat lould squeal

    Brake Problem

    sounds like ur got air in the brake,check that the pistons/pads move as soon as you press the lever.if they dont re-bleed the brake. when you say you cant find a boster to fit do you mean rubs on the tyre or wount fit the mounts?
  11. dont go doing that the force of the vice is just holding it on tigther to the threads and this may damage the threads 1 get wheel put tool on then a nut to hold it 2 get spanner that fits 3 long pipe 4 undo anti clock wise (Y)

    Lubing Pistons

    water on rotor, short hard stops, no draging all theway down hils the heat will damage the new pads and glaze them
  13. the reason the frame has a bash guard is to prevent damage to the frame, its a guard!!! lets say you fit an armodilo downtube guard on ur frame you dont start landing on downtube because you cant make it to back wheel.
  14. not really very safe to just run a chain as when the chain gets streched it will slip, also when u go to bash your chain will be incontact with the wall this will damge your hub/chainring and chain, i would recomend the rholoff tensioner there are a bit expensive at around £40 but worth ever penny, lighter than an xtr mech to :P
  15. you may be running a randomly high gear that f**ks thing u, or you may not be preloading the pedals
  16. 8foot is what u want to be going for, takes alot of practice to get over 9 foot but it can be done :P keep up the good work
  17. i like mints yummy exellent video :) more of them please

  19. get some plumbers tape and use that on the threads should seal it (Y)
  20. koxx level boss 1040 rode one and seemed to have the same kinda solidness as the zero bit longer and differnt head angle think it would be a nice chage for you
  21. you could do it if you ran the lever on the left side and put ur maggy lever on the right and got a bigger disc you would have to get used to the new lever arangement
  22. i only ever ride street because thats alls near me, i thought the sections were really good the mudd made them hard but if it was dry then they would have been quite easy, i had a really bad start as my car broke down about 2 miles from the comp,not happy about after a 250 mile drive, was think how the f**k am i going to get home so i fived the first 5 sections then got my head on and cleaned loads afther that, cant wait to the next one hope my car wont die and ll be in the right mind might do bit better then well done iolo (Y) thaks to every one who helped make it a great day
  23. you should be able to use the same length spokes as on the bmf rim
