  2. the good thing about the hope lever is that the resovoir spins in the body so you can have the lever either side
  3. I used exactly the same hope lever on my maggie and had bad results. I found the 10mm piston just too small, you had to set your pads soooo close to the rim that even the slightest buckle would make it rub, plus the fact that it was spongyer than a chocolate cake even with a booster or two. I would either get a longer bolt with a nut on the end or (prefrebly) get an 04 maggie lever

    Police...

    I got given a yellow card and had my details taken this weekend in deepest darkest wales, it was a tiny town and I cant even remember its name. Anyway, the officer was pleasent and understood why we do it, but said we shouldnt do it in his town it was late anyway and the ride was near its end so we left

    the videos are good and evrything, but I cant stop myself laughing, they just look like hyperactive monkeys that have escaped from a circus
  11. on my bmx I had 36-16 and found it too hard. I want a bmx with a trials gear, that would rock
  12. if you want a quick fix to get good brakes with a smooth rim even in the wet............ ...........lightly melt the surface of the pad on a hot smooth surface (old frying pan or somthing), it makes the very surface layer tackier and still works as well in the wet.
  13. hipperty happerty birtherty dirthday
  14. I would like to go, but thats a hel of a lot of money, so I doubt I'll go
  15. 1st one lasted me two weeks, killed it on a drop gap at the end of a comp. second one stayed intact, but the spokes would just loosen for fun, so I took it off. I went and played with my dented one, I sat on it in my room and snapped it in half, I could then snap the halfs into quarters by hand, I have never been able to do that with a rim before! Also, the sidewalls are just as thick as normal rims, at least mine were. How is everyone telling how thick they are? you cant just look down from above as the bead hook blocks the view. anyway, they are the worst rims I have ever used
  16. I guess theres no hight limit to falling into ramp as long as the ramps big and mellow enough
  17. latex tubes are harder to pinch than normal as they are flexier so can be bent around a lot more untill they split like normal tubes do in a pinch I run latex front and rear on my bike and havnt had a puncture yet, but they do loose air after a few days.
  18. its tomato sauce!! not ketchup, were not americans you know! cant stand brown stains sauce
  19. you sure thats just not echos new frames wheelbase? how tall are you in english? about 4 ft of legs and 2.7ft of torso I recken
  20. off topic: are you comming back to mine after the trial still peter? just need to make sure we leave enough room for you in the car
  21. I'll bring my hyperfirnia (sp?) bag for you then wayne I am up for a bit of soakage, but only if theres a roaring fire to sit next to after
  22. narr, bmx's suck, well 20" ones do 24" or 26" bmxs/trials hybrids are where its at!
  23. what goo did you use? When I did my wheel I soulc stab it with nails and spokes and it would seal it in seconds! I even put my lightest tyre on and whacked the wheel as hard as I could on a sharp corner, nothing happened! well, thats a lie, the rim dented a little and I ripped a knob off the tyre, but there were still no leaks. I think it can work well for the front, but not as great on the back, the tyre roll leaks air. BUT if its on a street bike or you like to run 50+psi then its great.
