Hmm yet everyone raves about the BB7? It was an old 2piece mini, not even a mono - still got it on the back of my santacruz. A mono trial in a decent size (200 not 160 lol) would eat that old brake; Im not sure the frame will even fit a 200 rotor, got to try it and check for clearance.

Pfft stop trying to piss on my bonfire, its a stock Im going to try DD to see what its like now that decent brakes have been invented, last time I tried anything trials with a rear disk it was a 160 hope mini and it fair sucked Will be keeping my maggie setup incase I dont like the disk on the back

Ive got an control booster I can put on whilst the maggie is fitted, DD will eliminate it though Im pissed off I have to work now, I should be building it lol

The scales rock, perfect for weighing bike bits Yeah its titanium, Im expecting the rear brake bosses to flex like a bitch but Im planning on putting a bb7 on the back

If youre referring to the finishline oils then in my experience the dry stuff is absolutely fine unless youre riding in very wet conditions, the wet oil is better for lubrication but can be messier if youre not careful. Dont use any of the motorbike chain wax sprays as they will just make an appalling mess of your bike Your best bet is to just pop down the road to two wheels in ambelcote and pick up some chain oil

Im right handed/footed and ride left foot forward but sidehop to the left Can sidehop to the right but not as high.

Got the frame off thechink on friday night and bugger me if it aint light Hopefully the it should all be built up tonight, depends if I can bodge togther a spoke chain tensioner at work today Will post more pictures, geometry and stuff when Ive finished.

Im running a dual ply high roller 2.5 in 40a slow reezay and its so unbelievably grippy; got a kenda dh tube in there and cant see it ever puncturing Ive used it at 8psi without a problem but it tended to squirm about a fair amount, tend to run 15-20psi now and I reckon I could use a normal tube in there without much hassle. As for maxxis compounds the are as follows: - 40a Slow reezay - very soft and sticky but wont last as long. 42a Super tacky - not as sticky but with reasonable life. 60a Maxxpro - hardest compound least grip. I had a 60a highroller on the back for 18 months and about half worn, it doesnt grip as well as the softer compounds when worn but when new it was pretty damn good. Single ply tyres are lighter but the sidewalls are much softer and more likely to pinch at low pressures, dual ply are a much more rigid carcass and give a bit more bounce

Our thermodynamics module was split between 2 different lecturers, one was welsh and very good, the other was pretty crap. Im not sure how but I got something like 80% in my 3rd year thermodynamics exam Our fluid and thermo were seperate modules and exams, I seemed to do better in the thermo for some reason. We werent expected to memorise tables of emperical data though. Good luck with the exam

Its near loughborough I think

Tryall if youre not a basher, dob if youre disk only and the weight of a ferret, echo if youre a basher Chris king if youre feeling rich, pro2 trials if youre feeling poor Personally I have tryall on a king and never had a problem with it.

You need a pair of hose clamps to hold the hose in a vice whilst you tap the barb in. Either buy the clamps for a couple of quid or make some from a block of wood To make them, drill a hole through the centre of a small block of wood (about 1" x 1" x 2"), the hole wants to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the hose. Cut the block in half so that you cut along the hole you just drilled and you should have a pair of halves that look like the picture Clamp the hose in the vice with about 5-10mm sticking out the top, lube the barb up with a spot of washing up liquid and gently tap it into the end of the tube. If you cut the hose nice and square with a sharp stanley knife it makes it alot easier to get it going in square. edit: Im just too slow in my old age

Pfft, theres always one

Get an RB lever and get a more powerfull brake as a bonus

My HSBC student account was awesome, got the 3 year railcard free (which saved loads as I only used trains) and never had any problems with the overdraft limit - lived within my means Once I graduated they switched it over to a graduate account which retained the intrest free overdraft for about 3 years, its since reverted to a normal bank account but I never need to use the overdraft now Its 9 years now since I got my student account though so its all probably different now.

Think this deserves a constant daily bump

Kerosene is paraffin for the layman Very good at cleaning chains aswell

Did you bleed it with the lever inverted? Make sure that the bleed screw is at the highest point when you bleed it otherwise youre likely to get airlocks

If you have a chain cleaning machine then one of the water washable based degreasers such as jizer will works well, clean it with that, rinse in water, dry it immediately and lightly oil it. I use finishline wet lube (use it in my chris king aswell) but if you prefer a dry lube the finishline dry is excellent, alot less messy than the wet If you havent got a cleaning machine then an old toothbrush and takeaway tray with jizer in will do the trick

Have you considered using the same gearing youre using now? I find 18-15 alittle high but then Ive only got 165mm cranks.

Would get 180/185 minimum for 24", 160 is fine on mod but not on the bigger wheels. To the best of my knowledge its just a standard mono trial but anodised different colours (the same applies to monty disks). Pads from any bike shop that stocks hope Ive got a 203 mono trial on my stock and it rocks, not as instant lock/bite as a magura but so much modulation and if you want to lock the wheel just squeeze harder

Throw the ACS freewheel away and fit a decent one such as tensile/tryall/monty/viz/eno depending on how much money you have to spend

No its used for putting them on you fool

Depends if someone wants a strong, light non disk xc hub really doesnt it? As most xc bikes are dual disk now I think youll be lucky
