The giant mph is completely useless, in fact one of the weakest brakes I ever tried! Don't know the onza but my guess is that it is better......

Hi guys it is a lovely day, me and Martin are going to sandbanks at 12:30 ish. Riding the usual spots for a couple of hours, hope to see some of you there! /Magnus

Hi buddy, Did you try bleeding them? Are the pads completely worn down? If you can pull the lever all the way to the bars no matter how it is adjusted it sounds like you got air in the system. check youtube for bleed procedure if you don't know it allready.. Good luck

Cool me, karl and martin are most likely joining in. We just need to sort martins brake!

Did you damage just the pedal or the crank aswell? If the crank is ok you can buy any platform or caged pedal that you like just decide on how much you like to spend. Now I use DMR V8 because they where on the bike i bought, not brilliant bearings, not the lightest but good grip and ok price... I have used expedo, alot fancier but also much more expensive... have a look at www.tartybikes.co.uk/platform_pedals/c23.html www.chainreactioncycles.com/Categories.aspx?CategoryID=209&SortBy=SalesRank

thanks for leting me know I'll give it a couple of more days then i'll go for another bike

Hi sorry to bother you all with such a boring topic.... I'm trying to buy Nathans bike and I just realised has hardly been on here since he posted the add. I tried to buy it last year aswell but then it took too long for him to respond so I unforunatly bought another bike before he finally texted me... It is sort of the same situation again I'm out of bike and desperate to ride so I can't wait that long please if you guys have his facebook, phone nr or any thing that could help me get in touch please pm me with details in case Nathan doesn't want everyone to know... Cheers/ Magnus

Hi, I also recomend you singlespeed with tensioner. Any way have a look at this link it tells you how to service almost everything on a bike, just click on the bike at the part you are interested in (derailleur) and go to the right heading (rear derailleur adjustment) after that. It tells you all about how to set up the derailleur. Good luck http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help

Hej Roger, ar hemsidan nere eller ar det bara lanken som inte fungerar? Sorry for the swedish guys I just had to I'm feeling a bit home sick. I just asked about If the website works, I couldn't open it unfortunatly...

Have a look here loads to choose from, just set your budget and off you go good luck! http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Categories.aspx?CategoryID=225

Cheers guys, it was very inspiering to ride with you all! I will defenetly join again. I have a thing or two to learn

Done deal, the beer didn't win! Me and karl will be there...

He he we'll see about that. It depends on how the next two nights turn out, first a ball then a big dinner both with some booze but probably I'll be in shape at 2 on a sunday

Cool, me and Karl are on our way!

Hi, at what time are you planing on going? I'll join in if it is not too late in the afternoon.

Ok have to try that one too, I live in southbourne on pinecliffe ave...

Me and Karl do! I'm a beginner doing my best and he is good.... Are there any nice spots for a beginner like me? Usualy I go to boscomb pier...

Hi, I have a Kabuki mono with some nice extras, what I wnat to do now is to find a new stem and bars for it. At the moment it is a cut bbb riserbar and the stem is 110 10 degrees and a whole bunch of spacers 4cm in total which is not ideal. The best would be not to have any spacer or maby one spacer at maximum but having roughly the same handlebar hight and length as the setup I'm currently running, I don't think it would matter if the length would be a bit shorter. The bike has massive wheelbase and I'm about 183 cm tall.... Any imput or suggestions would be greatly appriciated Thanks /Magnus

True, good idea I'll keep my eyes open!! Still havent decided on a bike yet

Thanks guys! I will be buying secondhand, I want to use as much as possible from that without buying new things. I guess it is possible to just get another lever for the disc brake then

Hi everyone I have a quick question! I'm Swedish and have been riding with the brakes on the other way around (MTB for 20 years) I can't ride English style. I'm about to buy a trials bike with rear maggie and preferably a front disc, I know I might not be able to swap the disc one due to the reservoir depending on model. How are the magigies like can i just swich over? Do you have any good ideas to solv the problem, do i have to buy new levers and stuff?? Thanks /Magnus

Thanks that's perfect, I don't think I will afford anything newer than this

Hi Just a quick one to complement my other thread about buying second hand bikes. Are there any good websites that has rewievs on bikes and other trials related gear? It would be awsome to be able to study and read up on things before buying and also I don't have to bother all you people with milions of questions It doesn't matter if the sites are old I mainly look at older bikes. It is fun to see what has developed over the years! Thanks!!
