  1. Works a treat! I boiled them, LOADS better. my pads had oil in and the made it a lot better, still didn't qure the problem.
  2. Try re-bleeding it, I know you said you have, but make sure its air free. A bigger discwill make it better. I had a 185mm Avid on the front. and that was enough for me. Just re-bleed it. If that dont work. new pads maybe? I dont know about facing mounts, but I've heard it make a LOAD of difference.
  3. Looks rather noce that, I'd have one if they weren't so pricey
  4. Looks very nice, what bars you running, look like tryall "riser" bars. (meaning they have no rise at all)
  5. Chinees or Curry. I had a Pizza and it was more than shite, they said on the phone it would be here in 30mins, was actually 1.30hrs. and there was no garlic on the garlic bread, and the perreroin was bright PINK!!!! Might order a nice currry, shame i have no beer cold! only cider.
  6. What grind for Heatsink blues, In shitty weather. (raining and wet. crap basically)
  7. People say I look like my bird! So I MUST be fit!
  8. Thanks a bunch Steve! they arrived this morning! I'll put them in when the rains stopped. its suppose to be summer! GRR Thanks again! really good stuff!
  9. Will the one with the rear disc be coming out, I have one at the right price. (under £299)
  10. Heatsink snowys, reds or Blues. or a light grind. Reds are harder compund so maybe a bit deeper/sharper to get the maximum. On a very light grind. Zoo pads. Evern lighter, ONZA CITRUS for super noise, I might get some when the Blues and Rock pads die. Might even grind the rim and get some plazzies as iv never used them and some might try some coustsink pads, If I have the cash ill get the pimped CNC backings
  11. SWEET. Looks well cool. Different too, Not many of them about
  12. I put mine on the bath room scales 12.6kg or 27777834 od pounds or sumat (according so the Samsung covertor) HEAVY
  13. f**k me! never seen them go like that. Spokes pulled through?>
  14. I have recently changed hub sheel to an 07, looks the business. I had a o6 before that, NEVER skipped once on me. Hub sheel is in very good nick, one flatteded disc hole and thats it. Id spend the extra money and get the 07. Best hub iv used.
  15. Well I didn't get them new, got them off a lad on here, but there were unused when I got them!
  16. I have used these pads for about 20mins TOPS, and they have sort of Melted. I'm Running a brand new Echo 07 rim (reground) and they seem to get like this after about 10 mins. I filed/sanded them down and put the back on thinking they were bedding in or something. and they melted again. I cleaned the rim with meths, rode for about 5 mins and they were good. Got the wet, splashed it a poodle. and they had No lock what-so-ever. I as going at about jogging pace, pulled the lever and the brake didn't work, AT ALL. I have since put a pair of green Rock pads in and they seem to be working fine. The pads were set up extremely good, they were both hitting the rim at the same time, and they were both parallel. I'm confused about what's happened to them. I may grind my rims and see if that helps. Thanks for your time!
  17. Looks kinda good. But does it have a spring in there somewhere?

Put it all together. Looks bit nice. I may put the Pazzaz stemon as it got a heigher rise. The front braske is so good. Hasn't bedded in yet. The lever is so much better than the shitty XT one I had. Thank goes to tarty bikes for the answering all the questions, and Getting the hub shell to me!. Just getting use to it again, after riding the Monty for weeks this feels really odd. I'll be back to where I was soon though! Comments are welcome
  19. With the rims being alumimimum they clog the disk up
  20. Yoiu can get a okay spec Onza second hand for about £200. Keep the gaint though!
  21. That also stops arm pump doesnt it. I just to get that really bad (armpump) I went to the gym for a few weeks got some muscle and it stopped.
  22. I can get upto £5 and thats if I sell a 3 year bike car plan. and you can get upto £20 for ONE raido sold. bit unfair! a lad at wuk walked out with £90 in two weeks! not bad going (he sells LOADS of satnavs)
