    Echo Brake

    Have you greesed up the threads before installing the new one? As this could lead to easily stipping the threads!
  6. Have you tryed putting on a new layer of tar? Because if you had to resort to using tar, your brake most proberly wasn't that good to begin with. And if the 'cleaner' f*cked up the tar a little - your brake would now be as you described.
  7. Yeah this worked for me before, just gotta realy squeese!

  11. That fat guy singing at the end should be on Britains got talent
  12. Blead bath it with the lever off. It's weird to bleed, but it works.
  13. The back hub may die? (most onza do) And upgrade to better v-brakes, like Avid Ulitimates or SD7's with decent pads. Will be good then
  14. Pink brake cable would set that off BIG time!

    Best Brake ?

    So, you said you'd order tonight. Which did you get? And is Andrew grinding your rim
  17. Both modified and stock trials bikes have pros and cons: Modified (20" wheels) Pros: ~Superb standover clearance ~Easily manueverable in most every circumstance, especially anything rear wheel ~Less expensive ~Less parts to break ~Nearly impossible to bend the rim of a well-built 19" rear mod wheel running enough tire pressure ~Learn to sidehop up to both sides without worrying about a rear derailleur ~Lighter Cons: ~Some people may think it's a BMX bike ~A pain to ride more than a mile or two on ~May be harder to find parts for it ~Harder to roll down things ~Easier to go over the handlebars (but less scary when you do) ~Doing wedge or wheelbase moves is less comfortable Stock (26" wheels) Pros: ~More stable ~Bigger wheels = roll everything easier ~Easier to do wedge or wheelbase moves ~Easier to pedal-kick on odd surfaces because of the larger diameter wheel ~You can ride to your riding spot easily (if you have a seat and working gears) ~Looks more like a mountain bike ~People won't ask you to "grind" stuff or think you do BMX vert or street Cons: ~Bigger bike = less standover clearance = pain if you fall on the bike ~Easy to hit knees on top-tube of most bikes ~Less room to work with for bending down before sidehopping, bunnyhopping, etc. or when absorbing landings ~More expensive because of greater frequency of breakage and more parts to break ~Rear derailleurs - easy to smash into things (though most bikes have replaceable derailleur hangers that will bend before the derailleur is broken) ~Wheels - 26" size = easier to get out of true or taco (20" wheels are extremely hard to ruin when built and used properly) ~Chain can slip down or up a gear while you ride if your chain is too loose, or you smack your derailleur in section and break it ~Heavier
  18. Cheers guys, large nail it is!
  19. Hows the tensioner holding up? I was going to buty a 74Kingz, but may make this if its good.
  20. Very good. I espeicially like the lines in the fountain, with that wierd sculpture in the fist vid.
  21. Wow, the picture has magicaly changed :wizard: and the old one is no where to be seen.
  22. Cheers mate So I'm going to turn the lockring clockwise then - just double checking. Because the topic was near the top, and no one was comenting, and I needed to know quickly. And I thought I was coming over as 'abit of a twat'. Crank and pedal are both off. And I'll vice it up in Systems + Control tomorrow. I dont have a center punch - but I imagine this goes in the 2 little holes? Can a small screwdriver be used?
  23. I keep thinking to my self - are bar extenders safe? As I get a picture in my mind of the extender ripping through the bar, and resulting in no more face :1eye:
