  1. to do the elicoil You need - 1 helicoil kit (m5 x 0.8 pitch), consisting of A tap Helicoils (often get 10) Helicoil driver Tang breaker Not in the kit A 5.2mm drill bit tap driver Small hoover/compressor A drill (cordless or wired. Cordless is better so you dont have the cable obscuring the position of the drill., making sure it goes in straight ) To do the helicoil: Remove the wheel, brake and anything else in the way, Next get the brake mount parrallel to the floor (it is easier to make sure the drill goes in straight, preety escential) Drill the brake mount, Drill until you feel a bit of resitance, drilling over the existing thread will feel abit hard, but until you hit the bottom of the brake mount, you can go alittle more to allow the helicoil enough thread to sit on Then get your tap and tap driver, and procede to tap the frame, Doing a 2 turn in, 1/2 turn out spin, making sure all the removed material dosent damage the freshly made threads. Then, get the small hoover...and clean out the brake mount, emvoing all little metal flakes etc. Put the helicoil on the helicoil driver, and thread it into the newly made thread, Might want to use a littl bit of lubricant on that part, its quite hard to thread them in. Hey presto, one helicoiled frame Anything else you want to know just drop me a Pm or add me to msn.....Ps i did all my helicoiling on a t-rex aswell alot stronger when there helicoiled Good luck Tom

    Tyres

    To be fair a 2.7 is abit over kill Just get front and back maxxis minion super tacky's Had mine about 3 weeks and no signs of wear (i know that isnt exactly amazing, but meh. I usually get a rear maxxis lasting about 6 months. Ive also heard good things about michelin comp 24's for the wear rate and grip compromise Tom

  8. Why is everyone saying 'ipods are shit' Just cus there the 'in' fashionable item? For f**ks sake, its an mp3 player, if you like it get one...dont just think That lad thats dead trendy's got one...Im not getting one!!! And to be honest i can knock my nano one bit, Yeah it has its fair share of paddy's...But when you cram 500 songs onto summet so small it will do. And the case with the i pods not playing wma, when you import your song into i tunes it automatically converts them into aac? if im not mistakn? so you can put any song on there. This is not the veiw of a 'mac/apple bummer' Tom

    Pc Or Mac?

    I dont understand how people can find a mac hard to use? im on osx...and its the easiest, tidiest looking thing i've ever had the pleasure to use, The dock is a very good idea, keeps it off the screen, and the top 'file,edit' etc bar is such a cool idea . And whoever said aplication instalation seemed abit of a task talks out there bum hole, Just download the .dmg, open it, and drag it to aplications, Much better then windows instalation wizard shizzle. Tom Edit:i cant spell
