  1. where the hell did you get that!?
  2. Yeah, but totally worth every penny.
  3. Or, eat some spinage and give it some beans! just dont break it
  4. If you're using HS33's, then this may help. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/wiki/Bleeding_Magura_brakes
  5. Sure the frog pads are for ceramic rims? "Green Frog - Performance pads for all hard anodized(black) and ceramic rims offering greater stopping power particularly in wet conditions." Anywho, try some tryall croco pads if you want some grunt. (with a grind) But! if you like your rim, then could go for a softer compound with tar? hope this helped.
  6. It will hold for a little while but it will be very weak and eventually you will need to replace it. My friend tried super glue once, but it snapped again soon after. The 2005 levers are crap for that reason, just remember not to over-tighten them.
  7. I personally prefer caged pedal, mainly because I think they are more grippy and generally feel nicer. I've recently converted my pedals to single caged, and found they are even better. Some people will argue that caged are ligther and what not, but I suppose as always its personal preference.

    Pad Reviews

    Pads: Try All Croco (brown) Time used: 3 weeks? Rim used: Onza hog (rear) Grind: Yes! Ceraminc:No Brake used: Magura hs33 (standard) What is your opinion of a working brake: Lots of bite, good hold. How do they compare to previous pads you have used: I used to run koxx bloxx, and they were great, but these new ones are that little bit better! Review: I put them on and gave my rim a fresh grind and in about 30mins it was bedded in! They have very good hold on just about anything, and work suprisingly well in the rain. They are without a dout the best brake pads I've used. 10/10
  9. I use Skullcandys, overall I'd say they are pritty good. Only thing is I've had to put a medium rubber on one and a small on the other so it fits in my ears. Oh yeah the jack cover breaks away after about a day, but it doesnt affect anything. so in conclusion I'd give them a 7/10. IMO much better than apple headphones, but there are better ones out there. But for £15 you can't go wrong.

    Story Time?

    I admire your optimism, when to...
  11. . Onza lime pads on a grind . Acs claw freewheels . Rubber grips in general, far to painful . Zoo stem (mod) good stem but far too low, makes your back hurt. . Onza musleman crank arms, the threads die stupidly quick.

    Story Time?

    It was a good idea in my head. But yeah this was a failure. Oh well, nothing ventured nothing gained.

    Story Time?

    Hello all, Just had a funny/entertaining idea to create a follow-on story. Basically you're only allowed to use two words to add on the the sentence. Hopefully this will turn out some what like it should in theory. So I'll start off... One day...
  14. I can reccomend the Echo forged cranks. I've bin running them for a year or two and they are great! They don't break the bank either. These: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...category_id=514
  15. Random, they look like they would hurt after about 5 seconds of riding.
  16. When you say rounded off, do you mean the allen key slot or the threads? Sealed hubs can also be annoying, you tried tightening the non dirve side back up and then trying the drive side again? If that isnt the case then making some sort of slot for a screwdriver/lever?
  17. Could try cleaning your rim? White spirits normally works for me, then wipe off with a damp cloth, and leave to dry. Failing this could try different pads?
  18. I think this is what your after. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....l=eno+freewheel
  19. Is the crank arm itself bent? Or does the entire right hand side sort of wobble when you rotate it? If it wobbles when you rotate it, it may well be the bottom bracket. To be honest without seeing the problem I don't know what to tell you. Why not just take it to your LBS and see if they can help?
  20. If the whole crank arm is bent thats something I would'nt think you could fix. Sounds like you need new cranks then.
  21. Which part of the crank? Pictures? If its just your chain ring you can probably just bend it back....
  22. Just looked on the box, and it has the option of 16,18 and 20 teeth.
