    Im In The Shit

    I don't understand some of the people on here, show the poor guy a bit of support, hes clearly having a rough time at the moment, puts a post on here just to let people know whats going on and gets a load of shit off people. It was an accident, nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes, theres not really any need to have a dig at him aswell. I don't know you, but i really hope things work out for you, best of luck.
  2. That was 'mazing . . The crank flip on the front wheel at the end
  3. They still do . . http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=190
  4. Befor you do that, find a torx key (if you have one) thats slightly too big and hammer it in, works most of the time for me.
  5. 16 - 12 . . thats pretty hard really. If you find 18 - 12 a bit too easy, you could give 19 - 12 ago, im not sure if you can get 19 tooth screw on sprockets or freewheels though. If not you could drop to an 11 on the back . . if your running a profile or can find an 11 tooth threaded sprocket, but that might be quite a bit stiffer, it makes more of a diffrence if you change the back sprocket rather than the front.

    Magura

    I doubt it would work, if its from a clutch the hose fittings will be bigger, also it might be made to use dot fluid instead of minral oil. EDIT: Oops just saw the adjuster on the lever
  7. Try www.routeone.co.uk or www.rollersnakes.co.uk EDIT: Beat me to it lol.
  8. Like Inur said, looks like the steerers bent, take the fork out and find a straight edge, like the edge of a ruler, put the steerer up against it and see if its bent, if not its probably something needs facing.

    School Exclusion

    I chucked an apple at a teacher as he walked into his cupbord, hit him straight in the back of the head, probably should of been excluded for that but the rest of the class said it was my mate so he got the shit for it, even though when we got taken to the head i owned up to it, but they still belived the rest of the class . . Other than that didn't really do much, messed around with the computers once when i got logged in as a technician.
  11. Yeah I spose so, just seems to be a really silly downside to all the frames that are designed for maguras. Meh it'll happen or it won't.
  12. Yeh i see you point about changing the bolt size, i can't see magura ever changing, but if frames were ready helicoiled from the factory and the company charged an extra 30 or so quid, per frame, i'd happily pay that, just to save all the hassle of re-taping threads or helicoiling.
  13. The size of threads in frames for 4 bolt mounts should be M6, people always seem to strip them, i wouldn't be that hard to do, bigger mounts on the frame and bigger holes in the clamps . . or steel inserts in the frame when you buy it.
  14. I've got an 07 lever blade on an old shape lever, fits fine.
  15. I've had my dengura on water for about two months with no problems
  16. If i ran a back disk i'd buy one, the profile on my bike at the moment is mint *touch wood* I would of thought they'd sell 150 - 200 think about all the riders worldwide, im pretty sure a fair few people would buy them

  18. If you want advise on DH try . . http://www.southerndownhill.com/forum/ People on there will tell you all you need to know.
  19. Been running Koxx browns for ages now, no problems at all.
  20. You didn't say that in your first post. Tarty bikes or Heatsink would probably be your best bet for pads. As for my oppinion of pads, Blue Rock pads or Brown Koxx Bloxx with a good sharp grind.
