  1. Where are you trying to fit the hose? Ie. what part of the brake are you trying to fit it to?
  2. What exactly are you trying to do? Adam
  3. Thats because Monty bought the mould off Maxxis...
  4. I think thats the reason yeah. Also means they can make a few more quid from the upgrades, i guess!
  5. Unlucky Tom! My guess, through my experience of making pads, is that the softness of the material has played a big effect in them falling apart. Glue is very strong in tension, in shear, but poor in peel (relatively). With a very soft pad (as the red RimJams are), the surface tends to try and 'slide' forwards/backwards when you brake, which in turn tries to peel the material from the backing. I think you can see the effects of this in the first picture, on the left hand corner, where its standing away from the backing after peeling. The harder pads (green being the hardest) do not suffer from this anywhere near as much (although, of course, all materials will do it a small amount). Give Chris a shout, see what he can do for you. Im sure he'll help you out in some way (Y)
  6. Unfortunately not - the disc side hub bearing is moved closer to the centre of the hub shell in order to make space for the disc mount, so, both the hubs use a different axle. Think ive got a heavy duty axle for ISO front hub kicking about somewhere... shout me if it'd be of interest.
  7. Nice one matey (Y) To be fair, its done very very well!!
  8. We have asked about that, and they say its not possible. The bore caps are 20mm and 25mm respectively, so you cannot swap it across unfortunately. There is a specific tool required to swap the caps over, we currently have one and can do the job if required. And as Danny says, we have the brake in 180mm version (not seen it anywhere else, actually), so no need for extra adaptors. I think thats all... anything else, just shout (Y) Cheers, Adam
  9. Danny wants to run his King :angry:
  10. Wotcha after exactly Sam? If ive got one here, i'll bring it down.
  11. They know about it... the problem with the Vinco is the way in which the holes are constructed.
  12. Might appeal to the likes of Akrigg. Also, he could (possibly) design a totally new frame to exactly what he likes?
  13. Unfortunately not on the trials frames (as far as I know), since they are made in the far east now. Bike looks good Ian, enjoy!
  14. Course is pretty much the same as last year Mike. Was pretty good, Ashton did a backflip. Frenchies were awesome as always, as well as Slinger and Benito. Not got any pics, sorry. Ads
  15. Thats cos white spirit will have virtually coated your rim in oil... You need to use Meths.

  17. Tis pretty simple :lol: 'Normal' MTB trials stem might be 120mm x 5/10 degrees.
  18. Apparently May time ish... so that means end of summer in bike-industry speak :lol:
  19. Looks like it should come in at under £400, if the expected US$ price is anything to go by (compared with current US prices of the Control)
  20. Was just about to edit my post to say that, hehe!
  21. Its not soft fabric youre after though... you need something tough! It'll be some form of nylon woven belting. I think the main problem would be in attaching them safely to your existing helmet!
