I have two zoo levers and I love em. I think they feel so much nicer than the standard magura levers. Thers no real difference between the deng levers just go for what you think looks best.

I've just applied some caustic soda but I'm unsure on how long to leave it before wiping the rim down. Over night?

I'm wanting to remover the paint from the whole of the rim not just the sidewalls and sanding takes too long.

I'm after a set off zoo python stickers similar to those that are on the 07 pythons with the large Zoo sticker on the downtube. Just to clarify not the sticker set that is being sold on selectbikes. So does anyone know where I could get a set?

It's the only thing that came up on the search and I can't think of anywhere else that might sell caustic soda where I live. Plus a lot of drain cleaning products are usually caustic soda solutions.

matt black/silver

would this stuff do the job? http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav/nav.jsp?...lected=products

What will I need to use to remove the paint from my try-all rim? nitromors/caustic soda?

Looks like you've done a good job and looks quite nice , but it appears that you've sprayed your bb or is it cover in a similar coloured wrapping to protect it?

Pretty much what the title says. I can't watch any of the newer vids that are uploaded onto Trialstube (anything uploaded after about 2-3 weeks ago). Is anyone else having this problem and is there anything I can do about it?

It's good to hear that people like yourself are getting back into trials . As for Chris King they're still probably the best brand out when it comes to hubs and you might aswell invest in one. I've been on couple of bikes with CK hubs and they're brilliant.

A cobbled road is good place to get tar from. You can usually find loose bits that you can pull up with your fingers. Make sure you dont apply to much to your rim though

So how did the bolt removal go? Any news yet?

The moral of the story is you need to learn how to use an allen key

try using a rubber mallet first but if you havn't got one/can't get hold of one a block of wood and a normal hammer should do the trick. If that fales a crank extractor will deffinatly get them off, just make sure you get the right type for your cranks (taper/ISIS) because I snapped one when I tried using a taper extractor on ISIS cranks.

Very nice bike there . I think silver and black looks really nice. Ride it well

Ok i'll try what tris and tappets have said tomorrow. I think the threads will still be alrite.

cheers for that

The other day I was tightening up a maggy bolt and it snapped, and part of it has been left inside the hole (I wasn't over tightening it). The problem I have is that the top of the bolt is below the top of the threads. I know it will have to be drilled out but I'm unsure of which size drill bit to use? I'm planning on helicoiling the hole afterwards.

Thanks for your input.

Now that i know which size helicoils i'll need, what is actually involved in helicoiling? Is it just tap a new thread and insert helicoils or is there more to it than that?

I'm going to buy a helicoil kit for the magura mounts on the frame but I'm unsure of which size I'll need?

Quite a lot full members (obviousley not all) think that nmc is full of illiterate people who know nothing about about trial biking, but infact there are people in nmc that can spell and can use grammer without needing a spell checker to do it for them. To be honest it pisses me off when full members say things like "oh nmc is full of noobs". Every current full member has been a non-member at some point, were you "noobs" before you were validated? I guessing the majority wern't and it's probably still the same, most non-members abide by the rules and can spell and can use punctuation correctly. That's my rant over.
