  1. It should be linked to in your 'My eBay', 'All Selling' page. You should also have received an email with the question and a link allowing you to respond to it.
  2. You're selling something that someone has a question about. Answer it.
  3. Haha, fair enough! Ah, ok, at first glance I did think there was a gap there. How bad is it if you angle the cylinders up a bit? Obviously you'll have to sand the pads down or wait for them to wear to suit but it's an option at a push. New frame?!
  4. Doesn't look that bad. Pretty sure I've run worse in the past.
  5. In the absence of anything else your two options would be to get a deep rim to allow the brake to be set up (something like a Sun BFR (not ideal)) or to buy a set of magura mounts with more adjustment 'built in'. Something like the Neons maybe?
  6. What frame is it? Have you had a maggy set up before?
  7. See to me that says something which is value for money and seeing as my cheepo Wildfire does everything that any of the others do but at less than half the price just seems to make sense, depends of course what you consider to be cheap/expensive- I see a 24 month contract at £30 to be pretty expensive over the course of the deal.
  8. Don't think this has been posted before- quite interesting though. Link.
  9. I've just got myself an HTC Wildfire and am really happy with it- ~£150 or so and I prefer it to my GF's £320 Nokia N8. Easier to use, more tactile, more apps, less glitchy and just overall nicer! I've gone with Giffgaff as a service provider which I'm also really happy with so far- kind of pay as you go but you also buy 'goodybags' which can be added to give extras. I've stuck £5 credit on and bought a £10 goodybag which gives me 250 free minutes and (truly) unlimited data and text messages so in theory I'm kind of on a £10 per month rolling contract with full on unlimited web and texts which is spot on for me.
  10. I like the concept but dislike the proportions.
  11. There's a distinct lack of sheds in this shed thread...
  12. You'd still have to use shims but only whole ones.
  13. I think you should go to a shop and get the mount faced .
  14. I don't know why you'd want to on a Dot filled brake. All of my Hopes have felt like a maggy water bleed anyway- quick and snappy feel and it doesn't freeze. Would be interesting to see what Phluid's like in a mineral oil filled disc though.
  15. Depends how your caliper sits relative to the rotor. As well as, instead of, whatever but you would leave it in to add a bit of 'rotation' to the assembly.
  16. If you cut some of the thin washers in half to make thin versions of this: Depending where you put them relative to the caliper and the fork/frame mount you can make the caliper sit at a slight angle to the mount.
  17. The proper way is to get the mount faced. Any good bike shop should be able to do it but they'll probably charge a good £20-£25 for it. The other option is to cut some thin caliper spacer washers in half to try and take account for any misalignment. You'd also need to play with the number of washers at each mount to get the pad sitting straight on the rotor of course.
  18. Ah, fair enough- you could well be right .
  19. Damn I'm good. Just missing a few decimal places on Avogadro's constant. Last time I did Moles must've been... 10 years ago! Christ I'm old.
  20. Was that where it was an M coupe or something being driven on a salt flat?... I vaguely remember that. I think.
  21. Lol. I forgot that you get 2 moles for an O2 molecule so I'm back to my original answer... Edit: in an effort to allow someone to shoot me down my thinking is: Atomic weight of Oxygen = 16g therefore 16g = 1 mole. 0.3g = (0.3/16)*1 = 0.01875 moles. 0.01875 x 6.02x1023 = 1.12875x1022 atoms.
