Yeah, just don't put to much tension into the spokes - and rounding the nipples off You can always undo the spokes coming from the otherside, and this will do the same thing

Is this yours? Looks nice How heavy is it? And I think that front end is way too high, get some Zona Zedd's on there (if its going to be an 'all Onza' build) then it should be better!

Just tighten every other spoke by 1/2 a turn (the ones on the side you want the rim to move over to, obviously). Keep doing this untill the wheel is in the middle, easy!

Just a good V-brake booster will do. The XTR's are hard to come by these days - and when you do, they are quite pricey! That Echo one looks pretty beef! And for £20 you can't complain.

Such a great rider! R.I.P Beau.

You don't cut them down for the bigger side, you add an extra 'cross' into the pattern So if you've laced it '2-cross' on the small side, then you'll lace it '3-cross' on the disc side.

Tuff Guys Looks lush, I may invest in an Inspired soon - they all look so damn loverly!

The GU will undoughtably have a longer headtube section, just down to it taking 'standard' heasets (which will sit above/below the headtube) as opposed to a T-pro having 'internal' headsets (which sit inside the headtube). I'd just leave the steerer alone, and run 1000 spacers on top for a week or two. Atleast you won't have to buy new forks... again

Nail polish remover works just as good That my friend is what I call a 'pancake-flipper'

Matt that was mint Dave's shin-dig on that gap looked painful.

Brown nosing Trialtech there Get Monty tubes , theyre a tad lighter than the Walterweights - but mine have never let me down! Drill the sidewalls of rim? Square out the holes of rim? Cut off every other tread? Drill headtube? Drill what should be the seat post? - they're the least drastic things you could do to your bike with a drill and a file. EDIT: never mind with drilling the rims if they're cheese

Good man for going back to vee What are those forks though?

They look to be rounded-ish at the corners. If they weren't, and were like a 90° corner - what would happen? All I can think of is it cracking

118mm I've got some Echo Cnc'd cranks with a bash, and a Plaz cog - and theres still clearence on the 118 Truvativ(sp?) one I'm using.

Do it There one of the most powerful disc brakes around, and in my eyes they're the best! With a BB7 theres no hassle (like aligning it, with rebleeding it, and putting the 'right amount' of oil into it to make the lever end where you want it to) They're piss to allign as they're on post mounts - which means you don't have to fiddle with washers to allign it. No rebleeds as its cable. And easy to fine tune with the 2 pad adjusters on each side, and the adjusters you get on levers. And they're really cheap I've got a 185 on the front of my mod, and a 203 on the front of my stock! They've never failed - so much hold and modulation, and a fair bit of bite the 'organic pads' on (mine actually make a little honk, compared to them being silent with the standard pads ) Hope i helped X EDIT: i've got a 185 rotor, not a 285

Na thats not it, those bearings were bloddy solid to get in - so theres no play between the hubshell and bearing. I still reackon its just spoke flex Ozzy, I couldn't see any movement in the hub when you showed me how the wheel moves from side to side. Maybe the spokes are a little loose?

I think he means if the tension is to high, when you pull the lever it can bend the springs inwards. So it won't spring back out again?

I'm left foot forward

Are the 'little ends of the spring' actually in the mount?

I'm running 24-18 (freewheel screwed on to the rear )

I'm not a fan of the white You should of either got more white stuff (rear rim, or rimtape, pedals, etc...), or no white atall.

Measue yours. Then tell us if your current frame is too long/short, or if the bb is too high/low, or if the headtube-angle is too steep/slack, etc... And maybe we can help you mate!

I'd get the risers, and put the Team stem back on. Those stems were far too high for me on my 05 Python - and I'm 6ft 2

how sad!

Nath's most proberly lost it
