they way I do it: pop it in the steerer, bung an 8mm allen key into the allocated hole and use the allen key as a lever to push one side of the dr up against the side of the steerer, this then stops it spinning and lets you tighten it up. I havnt had a single prob with my head dr, and thats with swapping it from fork to fork quite often.

doesnt bother us (Y) its got that name because you nod your head like a pigien when you go for it

"Aluminum seatposts frequently become stuck by corrosion also, and penetrating oil is almost useless against aluminum oxide. Fortunately, aluminum oxide can be dissolved like magic by using ammonia" Is ammonia piss? if so, you know what to do (Y)

but alloy expands faster than steel. If you dont want the post, try squashing it in a vice, or just squash it flat so a vice holds it then twist the frame. you need to shock it loose idealy

up here, we call them pigeons, well some people do (Y)"

my rim that I made had to be laced like that, seems I was on to a good idea (Y)

arm pump isnt a pain, its just a feeling (numb hands). Could it be your riding position? If I read your first post right your on a new frame? This might put you in a different position to what your used to. Having a break wont resolve it as when you get riding again you will still be in a different position to what your used to. Possilby try setting your bike up a little different to see if that solves it, or just carry on riding to get used to the feel. (if your not on a new frame you should probably ignore all that (Y) ) actually, I re-read your post, I get what you mean now, silly me.

yeah, but its crap and needs to be on the underside.

I agree, paper is never really on people list, I find pen and paper my fave way of designing bikes, its quick, easy and you get results. two examples of hand drawn ones.

what the hell is a Gmail?

can someone please bring some muck off? my brakes are still shit, would sanding the pads work?

I know how you feel mate, I bought a car, had it 3 days and its fooked! My garage says it might be a trading standards claim cos I got it from another garage, where did you buy yours from? Cars suck big time!!

thats cool :) bosh a v on there and get those barspins done :) How much did it cost all together?

I think I might come:) Dunno wether to bring my 20" or 26" bmx? :-"

ha ha, bongo's getting old! :- happy birthday grandad, when are you getting your zimmer frame?

I am now eating a big chunk of tiger loaf

2 slices of warburtons white bread

looks real to me. I would hate to get run over by it though, it would take your shins right off :D

go and get your self a hope stem, lots of sizes and colours.

I think its ugly

ahh, I remember my old x-lite, it was the easiest bike to bunnyhop ever! Couldnt quite get that high though :P" shame they repeated lots of moves though.

they are heavy though, my drilled one still weighed about 850g. I also found it flat spotted easier than other rims, but I did hammer mine into walls pretty hard, I chipped bits of wall off when I rimmed out lol

it can happen, but it doesnt happen as much as you would think, I havnt touched mine yet. I hit my front rotor much more.

bought a rock shox lower crown and steerer for 99p, its on ebay now for £11, thats 1000% profit! :lol: Bought a rocket pro trials frame for £10.50 with a shimano splined bb, pig headset and mini seat.

tried it (I have my old rim for sale on ebay) it worked very well, grinds lasted ages, but it was too narrow for my needs.
