  1. right is it not lazyness that means you left though typos in your reply think it could be counted i mean you obivoulsy havnt typed it into microsoft 'world' first even spell check if hard for a lot of people to use as there not sure on the correct spellling for the word i cant see the problem if you can understand it im sorry for sounding like an old man but its pritty hard not to be about this ben
  2. hey i might have to come to swindon some time again haven't been in ages and as for all this spelling i'm dyslexic (you have to love who ever decided to call it that.) and i have a lot of problems with using the correct grammer and things like that and i am always using text talk by accident as typings fast so i don't get as much chance to think about what i wrote. it just aggravates me that theres so many people that don't actually care about the persons question they just feel the need to be the spelling police or something i can see what people are saying about text talk being lazy i have to re read mine and some times i miss them still the spell checkers really frustrating i find and i'm shure a lot of other dyslexics do as well as long as the lads trying to type and he has a sensible question or comment i don't see the problem and to be honest i have far more of a problem with people referring to him as a f**ktard as he cant spell very well i'm sure i'm going to get over the fact cant you? well point out all my spelling mistakes and grammatical errors then like mature cleaver people. ben
  3. dont put a mod stem on a stock your bars would be stupidly high sounds liek the bars would be low to me ride other peoples bikes see what you like i used to have about 4cm of steam stackers 15 deg stem (110mm) and some 2 inch rise bars liked it now i like the front end a bit lower though as they say its all down to prefrence have a go on otherpeoples bike or get some forks with a nice long steer tube and mess around with stem stackers. ben
  4. discs are more powerful even though they have less leverage on the wheel than maguras for a few reasons they have a solid caliper that hadly flexes so you dont lose any power through that also the pistol ratio is 'better' meaning the slaves movr less but do it with more force then maguras dont use this ratio as the pads would move to little and the break would be impossible to set up expecialy with buckles etc. this is also why the RB F1 ergo lever is more powerfull not only does it have a longer lever blade bit it also has a smaller master piston hope that was helpful ben
  5. one fo my friends just used a bit of plastic pipe the right with and that worked make sure u have a steel drive shell if your going to use a thin rear cog or it will dig in and if you dont want to buy a tensioner bodge a mech all you have to do is take one of the jocky wheels out and lock it out ben
