Hi all basicly I bougha fourplay 2nd hand and ive had some prolems with the ass end first of all the derauler hanger was bent, so the chain tensioner was wonky, I replaced the tensioner, was better but no perfect ever since, when ever under pressure something slips? feels like its the chain but it's not and 1 day ping it slipped again, turns out the axell doesnt stay in, on poping out it bent the derailure hanger, and axell keeps poping out it bent it back so its straight, and the chain tensioner cought on something, spun round and my chain snapped ( i was told the chain was too long, so I have taken 3 links out) - - - is the tensioner in the right place? so new chain and new derailuer hanger,... I have lined it all back up it all works cushty but the axell still kepps slipping out?!?!??!?! whhhhyyy here are some pics, might b hard too see, the white bike makes the photos flare up more pics
-
my chain snapped, not sure y,,,, the chain tensioner snatched on summin and span round locking the back wheel, as i was still moving too fast it snapped i was told the reason 4 it snapping, despite i have a trialtech tensioner is that it was too long and needed some links taken out what chain should I get? got a 2010 fourplay btw if its of any use knowing
-
whats the bit of metal called that the chain tensioner mounts onto need a new one as mines bent, so my tensioner iz permantly wonky resolting in the chain rubbing , making the chain slip time to time made the photo 2 small :/ but u get the idea
-
i started on a rubish 20" and kinnda got the hang of it, but i found more and more things that could be done and as some 1 said a mission will be a beach to upgrade as i bought it cheap it was easier just to buy a newer bike, soo got a fourplay instead, a mate of mine bought a zoot, and that made me want to do the 24"s of street riding i equily didnt want an identicle bike, and a fourplay came up for sale, so I got one of those in stead, but thanks guys
-
im no expert as I am still to get one my self as you have hs33's not v brake you need a 4 bold.. .pretty sure im rite, some 1 correct me please if im wrong as long as you have your measurement every one i know with a brake booster has at least one of thses: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/4bolt_boosters/c3.html nice to get another opinion, just thought id try and help as no one has replied yet
-
yeah i got 2 olives, bleeding pipe, and a seringe already orderd..i know how you bleed them but how do you out water in?? see im a motor trials man really, normally for me theres a brake fluid resevoir, so i just top that up, then bleed it through but with hs33's, its just the leaver,... then pipe to the calipers where do you/how do u get ur juice in??
-
no i found out what it was for ages i kept trying and trying, and it just wouldnt change so i posted this topic I then check it at work on the office comp, and it had changed, thinking its all good now later after work got on back on the site, but on my laptop,, same old pic :/ what I had to do was delete the photo from where i saved it in my documents, still didnt work then finally delete from the recycle bin so its all good now
-
yeah It used to be a pic of my 20"
-
yeah thats what I did about 6 times lol, seemed to have worked now
-
yeah because i thought people run them on water, but when it leaked and it were propper brake fluid, i was bit confused, cheers guys
-
can i just cut of the split bit, and put the olive back on?
-
how do u change your avatar, profile pic i did it once, but now cant change it the photos i try to up load are with in the size, pixel count and under 100kb etc, im trying to add a 38kb file and it just wont change?
-
i actually know nothing about hs33's all i know is the cable split at the leaver brake fluid leaked etc.. so, where can I buy a new cable, is 134cm ( 53") sound about rite? or are they a standard length? what brake fluid is used? and what is it about bleeding with water?
-
I just went into Evan Cycles and chose a cool one lol
-
what is the best station to be at in bristol, to meet at ths castle place?
-
with the zoot, you get alot for your money, 350 will get a secondhand, 440 brand new, u may as well for the little extra have a new 1 but the inspired element, i dont really know much about, i know it comes with better brakes, but what makes it £970/ 980 quids worth as no body seems to rite them what the catch??
-
as for the brake information, i dont really know enough about it but as for the price of the zoot, it was cheap, on tarty bikes i think they are 530 or something but just googled onza zoot and it was 440
-
if i dont check this post by the time some 1 replys because im out all day riding text me 07809766622
-
my mate has just bought a new zoot its such a nice bike, its actually a piece of art matt black and lime green <3 cost £440 from brand new, what ever that is in euro's? but as ive started on a 20" a i cant really get to grips with bigger wheels
-

-

-
