  1. That was the fake clear ones, cheap poop from Taiwan, not at all associated with Chris Russ.
  2. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/about_us.php (Yep, needs updating!) That sounds like a plan! Ooooh... *heads off to market to find such an app*
  3. Gav already does that anyway...
  4. Hmm. Hard to tell from that pic, but looks ok providing you can get it chased through.
  5. Yeah, no moustache-shaving for a month. The rest is fine, the idea is to end up with a stupid moustache basically http://uk.movember.com/ Gav's will be so bushy it'll be hosting a small family of bird's after that time, should be interesting! We can't take donations through our site, the justgiving site is set up specifically for that to make sure 100% of it goes to the charity. They take Paypal too. Ali - look forward to seeing what you create
  6. Bit of aluminium, file, drill, job done. You don't actually need one though to be fair.
  7. Not really sure where to put this... seems about most appropriate here? Anyway, on the back of this topic, a plan has been hatched... Everything you need to know is here: http://www.justgiving.com/tartybikes-movember Feel free to join in if you wish
  8. ... But the best way, IMO, is to make the axle smaller. This way you aren't mullering your £120 forks, only a £10 axle. We can do it if you wish: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/workshop/tartybikes_front_hub_modification_10mm_to_9mm_axle/c34p11665.html
  9. Used the pads enough to give feedback now - definitely better performance than the standard ones. The increase in bite and hold seems to be almost equivalent to going up from a 160 to 180 rotor. Gonna stick a set on my other bike now, very impressed (and surprised!).
  10. Well it could be that your phone camera has crap white balance, and they are Koxx Greens, but from that photo they aren't the right colour.
  11. Fake, CRMs have always been yellow.
  12. They kinda look a bit like Koxx (shape of the moulding), but the green is too bright... Hard to say without the bite test
  13. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/hub_spares/hope_pro_2_trials_freehub_body_upgrade_kit/c22p11219.html There must be something else up - bent axle, not using correct spacers?
  14. Lots of grease, on both the frame and the BB cup.
  15. Exactly why - combined with your idea having more 'functions' - that it's not a bad idea at all. Edit: But yes, wouldn't buy one personally.
  16. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_welding Learned about this the hard way, doing exactly the same as you. Ended up bolting the tool into the BB, putting that in a vice, and having two people swinging on the frame to get the BB out. Soak it in release agent, bit of heat (small blowtorch), then try again, if you're lucky it'll scrap the BB but the frame will be ok... I wasn't so lucky!
  17. Makes no difference on forks.
  18. Nice work man More users adding more spots = site gets better and better, so get stuck in people!
