  1. I have an azonic ds1 with argyles. Best bike ever and I ride absolutely anything except roadie style.
  2. Wrong. msn and normal file transefers use different ports to limewire and most p2p networks also use different ports to each other meaning effectively if the isp blocked the network they could easily change the port used however the programs would never interfere.

    Neon Rims

    does any one know what these are like.
  4. *bent my hanger *stripped the four bolt mounts *got a new frame with different spacing so needed a new wheel (fair eneough) *had to change my cranks and bb as the old ones hit the brake on rotation *had to change cranks and bb again as new cranks sucked! this is a normal month for me.
  5. I found that I wasn't getting anywhere near the amount of height from rear wheel as I was from two so I found that as I take of if I yank my feet up I get a decent height, try it.
  6. You could fit them, however you would have to use evo mounts instead of 4 bolt mounts. This means that some of the power will be lost and they will be a b**** to set up. Go for the onza.
  7. I always bleed with cooking oil. Works a treat and costs £1.50 for 2 litres from lidl.
  8. I personally prefer the Yaabaa as I looks much nicer and has better wheels etc... However you can't go wrong with an Onza and as I'm sure you will want to upgrade parts later the Onza will definitely be better, especially if you want to fit a magura. Ultimately it won't make a difference as they are both pretty generic bikes but if it was me I would go Onza. P.s. "Go for the Yaabaa they are awesome!! Onza's suck!" care to enlighten as to why.
  9. I ride 22:16 and to be honest there is not much difference from 22:18.
  10. what do you mean? (p.s. duct tape!)
  11. lol, true! I don't have this problem often as I have 5 bikes to choose from and if one breaks I can usually fix it within two days.
  12. tried something similar when I started, was useable but the pedal would hit the floor if I went down a high curb with the crank down and manuals were near impossible but it gave me a start.
  13. I'm using a cheap gusset half link at the moment and I can't see it snapping, but then again I rode with a tescos chain for a month before it finally snapped and almpst killed me.
  14. It really does hurt.
  15. Tensile. As stiff as a teen boy in a strip club.
  16. speak to the boys at tarty, they should be able to find out for you.
  17. For a pound more you can get these (when you include p+p) http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=17781

    Axle Bolts

    I need to get some nex axle bolts for my czar rear hub. Tarty is down at the moment and I can't find them anywhere else. Even checked B'n'Q but the thread is odd so a normal m10 would not fit.
  19. don't space the bb out as it wont work. Replace your crankset. Trust me, I had the same problem, got something with a 128mm bb.
  20. Got a czar one and it is amazing
  21. It could be the flexing of your brake cables. I constantly ge annoyed by a creaking that I thought was the heaset but on closer inspection I realised that it was my cable.
  22. Never try to take a star nut out the same way the it went in (i.e. through the top). They are designed to withstand large forces in this direction so will damage your forks. What you will need is a rubber mallet and a couple of extender bars for a ratchet driver. This is how you do it: 1- Place the bottom of the forks on a solid surface (the floor generally works well). 2- Put the shortest extender bar in the steerer tube so it sits on the star nut, then smash it with a mallet, this will get it moving). 3- Repeat step two with until the top of the steerer and top of the extender are flush, then change the size of the extender and repeat. 4- It will eventually just pop out. Trust me, it is the Halfords way - If you don't have the correct tool, smash it with a hammer. Hope this helps.
  23. At least he left behind his legacy with the 24/7 frame.
