    100

  1. No worries chief. As you said, best to start fine (1200ish) and work up if necessary to something like 600 but since you're only really wanting to remove a tiny amount of material the finer the better I'd say to reduce the chance of going too far.
  2. Wait, what? Wire wool, fair enough. 'start fine' in response to 'what grit sandpaper should I use' doesn't make me think wire wool though. So it'd be better to start with 1200 grit? Like I suggested? Hence the 'wait, what?' response to your last line since my suggestion was 1200 grit wet and dry... Edit: Unless you meant an alternative to water in which case there's simply no need for an alternative. Edit 2: Man I'm grouchy today!
  3. Useful... If you're going to sand it use 1200 grit wet and dry and take it easy with it. What like you spouting off shite again about water bleeds? f**k off.
  4. But if it's a proper old school screw on cassette/freewheel would it work? Can only assume that they both use the weird 1.37" x 24 tpi thread size...
  5. Any reason for the randomly positioned levers?
  6. Unreal riding, you have so much commitment it's just astounding. Major props to you!
  7. That's a lovely shade of pink you've got going on there Scott!
  8. Because SPD's aren't oldschool. Not in my head anyway.
  9. That sounds a bit crap! Was it worked out as mass carried/bridge mass to give a measure of efficiency? If it was just bridge mass then that's lame!
  10. Sounds like you're doing something wrong then! Learn some mechanical sympathy you must.[/Yoda voice]
  11. Nope. Well, the majority of bikes don't. I assume anything with ABS must have some kind of modulator but I don't know of any (maybe some goldwing type thing that weighs more than my car) that have any power assistance.
  12. Yup, more bite and hold but potentially a little less modulation but usually not so much that with a bit of practice you can't overcome. Cooling shouldn't be an issue on a trials brake really.
  13. No way that can be true for the 'big' names surely.
  14. Kenny was treated like shit effectively forcing him to leave wasn't he?
  15. OMG I know! It's almost like they want to build a really high quality team. Oh, wait...
  16. It's just a process. If you know the process and follow the appropriate rules you can just work through it step by step to get to the answer.
  17. Get funky with a midget in a field? Not sure that's the best advice but ok...
