Check the forks over today, took the forks off, I looked atthe crownrace and there was like a crack there, took it off, nothing was just paint. Done what Adam said. and its still doing it. All i can now put it down to is the wheel build not being under enough tension. Will tighten and true the wheel when I have time. Thanks for the pointers guys!!!

Pads: Heatsink Reds (CNC'd Vee backings) Time used:1 week Rim used: Echo 2007 Grind: Not at 1st be yes a light one later on Brake used: Avid SD7 Previous pads you have used:Onza citrus, Zoo pads, Echo New compound, Plazmatics, Heatsink reds (CNC'd maggie backings) and blues also New gens and snowys. Rock pads, green and red ones, Koxx Greens, Ali C's pads, Standard Avid Vee pads, V-fly pads. I set up the pads perfectly. Hitting the rim at the same time, parallel. and all that. Hopped about on the curbs in my car park, They were loud, with a nice bite. and plenty of hold. went for a ride later that day, ground was a little wet from the rain over night. Done a few big taps, didn't quite make them BUT the pads never spilled once. they hold very well even when on the very edge of a wall. Only down side, get the pads a tiny bit wet - they don't work. they slow you down though!! (only thing i didn't like was the seemed to stick to the rim as they were both smooth surfaces) I ground the rim. Didn't bother taking the wheel out, as this would mean setting the pads up again. was a nice light grind not too sharp just something for them to grip to. They hadn't much noise at low speeds going forwards, but when you go backwards they make a lovely honk. They still have all the hold, and bite as before. if not more bite. Haven't wore down either, well maybe a mill MAX Very Very pleased with these, Will be trying out the Coust material when these reds wear down.

was nice though! I'd rather have a nice house and be called "normal". Than have that and be called a Posh Pikkie!

Looks a bit like a rainbow! too much going on. Green rims Gold hubs, red bars.

Thats why happened to my Louise, It was working well before that though. I just got an Avid and that solved the problem.

lol For that you can get a bikehut disc, its the same as the dio-tech one, (I think) and they seem to work okay, I havent really ridden on one properly. In mt experiance hydro disc seem to dislike me! So I've stuck with cable. Avid BB7 203mm and an Avid SD7 lever, really good brake to, mine would be a lot better, I think it needs a new cable and set up correct. I have a hope mini mono you can have for £20, nees new seals I think

HATE THAT SONG SO SO BAD! Its always on about 4-5 time every saturday! I have to listen to it at work!!!

The like guset kinda of looks similar (to me)

Bit of a bump but who cares! Just noticed this Look kind alike???

I met my machanic today too, he even made me my Tea. What a kind man my DAD is

I kind of do! I still ride to work and school, and have a hop about on the way, but not long rides like the good old sumer months,

They'll probably just give you a ner hub shell and wack your internals into that!

can have been set up that good! Mines set up shit and it still work amazinly good, can send lil kids over the handlebars. Havent had any trouble with my Avid and Iv had two of them, Swapped the first for a hydro disc was okay, nothing special. Can't imagine maggie being any better

Get a disc

Why try to do a drop when you cant even turn on the back wheel! You dont run before you can walk do you!!

Im loooking to get one too! I want to stick with Mini DV. I'm unsure about HardDrive ones, like uploading them onto my computer. As I only have Windows Movie marker which is okay. this one looks good, aslong as it has DV in or out you can use fire wire to up load the footage. Which Is better quality and faster than USB 2.0 Also I was looking at this one :Here Look okay But as you have a bigger budget that mine! you can get a better one!

I have a pair of fattys! I get home early from college tomorrow So I'll have a good check over and make sure everythings how is should be! If they are fooked what fors too get? I was thinking of for Echo Controls, there light and fairly cheap too. What forks are STRONG and light, Don't like Zoo!

I hope so! You guys put it in for me! I'll take the forks off tmorra and have a good old check over and see if I can see any signs of cracks etc etc!!!

I have been riding my bike lately and when ever I go to put it on the back wheel the front end feels as though is sort of "flinging" out. I havent checked the forks for any cracks. BUt i things its more the wheel. all the spokes are tight and in tension, bolts / QR are all nice and tight. Any of you people know what could be up??

new forks matey! I may have some if the buyer pulls out! I'll PM you if he does

or halfords for £24.99!!! ||POINTLESS TOPIC NON THE LESS!||

You cant have the #1 either thats me! In like the top dog! lol!!!

Had a shite day at work! All I done was change the axel on a powerrangers bike, NEVER cleaned up or faced up! Has its upside - I got a tensioner/mech thing for nowt!!! not on stock anymore!
