  1. Anything from about 30% antifreeze and upwards about will be fine. You could always bleed with a syringe, then you don't need to fill a sink? WD40 bleed works alright, GT85 doesn't (tried both).
  2. I think I see what's happened - you've got a Mono Trial seal and a Trial Zone seal from Hope. The TZ one is a slightly different size as it goes in the caliper rather than the bore cap (http://www.tartybike...zoneborecap.jpg). It's entirely possible Hope have mixed them up when we got our last lot of complete seal kits, meaning you got the wrong one from us - sorry about that. I'll get a partial refund sorted out for you!
  3. Cheers dude. That is really odd. Hope don't make a larger bore cap seal than the one needed for that brake Silly question, but you were trying to put it here, yeah?
  4. Glad it's seemingly sorted now. If the bleed nipple was leaking previously, then that will have been your issue. Weird, sorry about that! Which brake do you have, got a pic?
  5. It is when you try stuff that pushes you, rather than just doing stuff you know you can do :$
  6. Yeah, therefore brakes have little significance to flange damage. I think? I'm getting confused now Back to work...
  7. I know what you mean In my mind, the torque created by pedalling is insignificant compared with landing a failed 360 down an 8-set though...
  8. Well, the force ends up at the flange via the spoke whether you have a disc brake or not And at least with a disc brake the torque is equally (pretty much) spread between all 16 trailing spokes, whereas a harsh landing only transfers into the few spokes opposite the impact.
  9. To you Dave - Flipp is HARSH on wheels!
  10. That's the one! I couldn't find a pic. Same idea.
  11. Wondered how many people would watch that far I managed to twat my head while getting out, haha.
  12. Seen him ride in the flesh? Shimano did something similar a few years back, the spokes broke fairly quickly which is why they don't do them any more...
  13. Maybe for a round or two Van graphics - why not?
  14. Hello all, Here's some clips from Sunday bashed into a vid. We were trying to do '3 strikes' for most of the clips as we didn't want to be stood around too long in the cold... Cheers, Adam
  15. Well the forks in that video must be pretty old, the cable guide hasn't been on the disc forks for a long time. "Less flex? Stronger build? Are the 2013 better than the 09/12?" Yes, yes and that's subjective depending on what you mean by best.
  16. Agreed Yeah, that's what we do.
  17. Try-All don't quote ERDs for their rims unfortunately.
  18. Good idea! Heating the hose isn't necessary though, plus it makes is weaker.
  19. That's true. And it will also allow crud to get into the system, as the lip seal won't be sealing any more... Just woke up and posting on your phone for the lose
