  1. Aaahh... Isn't it the same for pneumatics though? Since air is also a fluid and thus behaves like liquid. Either way, glad you've got it now Can be quite confusing! Why thank you, although I am a small boy in comparison with other Adam
  2. Yes, take your bike to a different shop!
  3. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/brake1.htm
  4. Exactly, because the small cross sectional area of the smaller syringe is exerting more pressure (eg. 13mm master piston on an RB lever instead of 14mm on HS33... similarly, increasing slave system diameter has the same effect). So, the brake isn't '25% stronger', but the system is easily capable of offering 25% more mechanical advantage by simply increasing the diameter of the slave pistons.... downsides, as Bigman said, are spongy lever feeling and having to set the cylinders/pads closer.
  5. Yeah, works a treat if you pull on the crank arm as in the picture though!
  6. Maybe, but Rockman is from Singapore!
  7. Yeah that's right, but as with all cartridge bearings, you can take the seals out. They are highly packed at first, with use the grease moves to the parts where it needs to be and the excess splurges out.
  8. They do, they are cartridge bearings Looks real to me
  9. Looked like a good ride Cheers for sharing
  10. I need to check shipping costs, exchange rates and taxes, but I am hoping to hit £499. Head angle is 71.5 degrees, same as all Koxx frames.
  11. Lovely job... Enjoy it matey!
  12. Why's that? (The thread is entirely inside the depth of the stem clamp by the way...)
  13. Rusevelt, that quote from me is regarding Atomz forks by the way, NOT Trialtech forks. You can see how those forks are constructed here: http://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?produc...;category_id=40
  14. 'No, sorry' 'Oh go on, please?' 'No, sorry, I don't let anyone on my bike' 'I won't go far or do any tricks, go on mate' 'I once did that and someone rode off with it, so I don't let ANYONE on my bike any more' (Didn't actually have that happen to me but it shuts them up every time)
  15. The Atomz forks linked to above have less tyre clearance so it reduces the number of front tyres that can be used (work great on 24" though!), which is why they are discounted.
  16. Mistranslation for steerer tube...
  17. Because it's impossible, trendy shoes also look shit
  18. Got a pic? I should be able to tell you. If not, length is centre of steerer clamp to centre of bar clamp

    Is it just me or is Trialstube dead at the mo?
