  1. I think it depends how much you plan to use it... I never had an issue but can imagine that if you used it hard for a long time it might cause problems with both the dropout and chainstay.
  2. I ran a peg on the rear of mine for a while but ended up not using it enough so removed it. I turned up a replacement steel axle for my Echo hub which had proper 10mm nuts on the end to strengthen the setup up.
  3. That makes some sense for motorcycle trials but doesn't hold for roadbikes and motorcycles in general. In those cases you could quite easily ride with the brake and clutch the other way round (if given time to get used to it). So yeah, it comes from the side of the road we drive on originally I believe but in my mind makes sense when you consider motorcycles as well.
  4. Wow. Ali is just incredible! If I had a tenth of his vision and imagination with lines I'd be a very happy man! I really hope he can push for some full on sponsorship along the lines of what Danny's managed- he deserves it so much! Overall an awesome video, but pleeeease let me know next time you're hitting Bristol or something as I need these rides in my life!!
  5. It's clearly the rest of the world that has it wrong. On motorbikes the front brake is on the right- and that doesn't change from country to country...
  6. I thought he was going for locktite the BB threads and grease the splines... could be wrong though!
  7. So only threads you've viewed previously? Or ones you've posted in?

    Really like that- is it oil?
  9. Can you imagine the mess a manual plasma cutter would make of the design? I think your assumption of NC/CNC is most likely correct...
  10. Sooo... what should it do? Never used it before.
  11. What do people think about including a 'views' counter? Not sure if it's of much use to anyone but the seller I guess. Still think feedback on the advert pages would be a good idea.
  12. Nope. Not while keeping it usable anyway...
  13. Ooh, that's swish. 24" tyre added partly as a test (but actually for sale!). Can I suggest (if possible) including the sellers feedback in some form in their respective adverts? Just as a percentage positive or whatever? Edit: I guess the reputation gives some indication to a seller's character but feedback would still be cool. Tom- your question confuses me!!
  14. Yup, they're the puppies. You'll need two- one for each piston (unless you know only one is a problem). Depending how old the brake is (and the overall condition of it) it may be worth getting the complete seal kit as it also includes the bore cap o-ring and the lever piston seals etc.
  15. Sounds like you've got dead seals in the caliper and it's leaking fluid onto the pads and rotor. Check it's not the bore cap or bleed nipple that's loose but if they're ok you'll be looking at new seals, new pads, possibly a new rotor, and a fresh bleed...
  16. BMXers are all just Danny Mac wannabes anyway.
  17. Yeah, noticed it earlier. Dunno if it's been like that since the clocks changed or if it's more recent...
  18. Preferably in skinny jeans with your arse hanging out the top . Oh, wait, that can't be right...
  19. Please stop using that (non)word!
  20. Especially if you're not going to use a tube at the lever- the fluid will dribble everywhere so be sure to keep it well away from your rims and pads (or disc/pads if running a front disc).
