  1. So all in for saturday then (except Jack of course)?
  2. I suppose, it is why I am not trying it. How much do you reckon an engineering firm would charge to build a new axle out of steel? I want one for my oldschool t-rex.
  3. No was responding to this:
  4. Use the normal fun bolt axle with steel bolts available for around 40p each from hardware stores.

    Are you going to be using it as a trials bike as well? If not go for 32:16 or faster, if you are doing trials as well you would be best of with a 32t chainring and gears!
  6. Tommorow in London. I know it is short notice but who wants to come?
  7. Get a dicta freewheel they are ultimately strong ! Failing that go for the tensile!
  8. Skidz and wheelies! Yeah Boy!

    For MTB dirt jumping the normal ration is 2:1 so the norm is 32:16, I personally think that is still a bit light and use somewhere between 36:16 and 36:12 depending on the run in. 22t front chainring will be sh*t unless you are riding jumps that have a roll in so require no pedalling in which case gearing doesn't really matter.
  10. Might be able to do saturday.
  11. might be persuaded into a london ride!
  12. I rode brakeless and snapped my chainstay, seams like a reoccurring theme.
  13. What freewheel is it? If all else fails then just break it off.
  14. Is it on the crank or the wheel and if it is the wheel what size is it. Vice has always worked for me with wheels! WD40?

    Then learn to spell, for example 'to' in the sense you used it is 'too'!
  16. I at first thought the frame shape was ugly but the more I look at it the more I like it. Also I don't know why everyone moans about the colour, once built up with a decent colour scheme it would look amazing.
  17. Normally about 30 a week though when I have the time I do a lot more, I think the most I have done is about 60 hours in a week!
  18. I live in Bushey come for a ride in Watford instead.
  19. As it turns out there is but they are shit and expensive and your forks still need a canti-mount. If you want to go disc just get a new set of forks!
  20. You can use most types of oil. Citreon brake fluid (the old mineral oil one) is the same as magura blood but a different colour, I use cooking oil but this is a bit thick, someone suggested baby oil so I will try this. And no do not bleed deng brakes with water they will leak, just use oil. P.S. why can no one in this thread spell correctly or use grammar?
  21. Not all pads are glued in. I am pretty sure that phat pads don't need boiling or glue.
  22. Fire eye are not really trials products but I have used a few things from them and they make ultra strong things, try them they should be fine.
  23. Might come down friday, depends on whether I am working or not. What time anyway?
