  1. It IS different to roof tar yes. Purely as you've said, yours is in a tin, mine is in my bag... What the difference is I cant tell you (because i dont know, not because im a c*nt) I dont think you should try it though, as brakes work on solid to solid contact, not solid to liquid (no matter how thick). Also, as the brake is applied, all it will do is shear the liquid and not cause a braking force. If anything, the more you apply the brake, the hotter it'll get and it will probably get less viscous!
  2. Basically my lower right abs have been hurting since I woke up this morning. At first I thought it was because I needed to p*ss, but that didnt help. Further excrement didnt help too. Then I thought it was trapped wind and granted Ive not farted well yet, but I dont feel any farts coming. Its also definitly localised to my lower right... So basically Im a bit worried - 2 exams in the next two days, and a few other comittments biking + climbing related in the weeks to come... Should I go get it checked out? (after my exams...) Thanks guys....
  3. If the magura cable routing goes THROUGH your frame (Im assuming here) you can't really do a bath bleed. You can, but it sounds like youre incapable so Ill keep it simple.... You need a syringe, clear hosing (about 300mm) 2 barbs and fluid. Cut the clear hosing in half and shove a barb in to skip this step, buy this: Magura service kit Read the book done. EDIT: Once you've bled the system, you cant undo ANYTHING except the lever clamp or the lever bolt 'pivot'. As you said this will induce air into the system...
  4. The 'Frenchie' Benefits the rider: Obviously as you travel forwards, your front wheel comes first. By bonking the front wheel onto, you get a bounce from the front tyre (due to rapid compression and expansion as the angle made changes from steep to shallow [as the move progresses, look at it in slow mo] ). This bounce gives a small height gain, enough to be able to roll the back wheel onto the ledge, or into the corner with enough speed to roll ontop. How to do it: Mostly just do a gap to front without the brakes on, but as soon as the front wheel lands throw it forwards and sit back + tucked. Easiest to learn on a gentle slab with a low gap in between (A ramp on the floor is pretty awkward) I expect this will be expanded further on....
  5. Looks like its Rhyl (Rill) Mabye you could get off there and ask for a lift from the station to st Asaph? Its just the other side of the a55...
  6. lol will... OK I'll see what i can do, have you got a google maps location?
  7. lol at 0:50... Id forgotten about that.... Do it Ben man! because your videos are so easy to watch and seriously good pieces of work! If you do this one, Ill do my last one...
  8. it seems to be bad news then... Apart from interference through damage or something, I cant see why its not going back in... How bad a problem is it if it doesnt go back?
  9. But can you loosen the red knob, then squeeze the lever (or push the arm) to retract the pad back in?
  10. Yeah Phils good, no reason not to trust him
  11. I have, because I have a massive penis and the things I can do with it...well, I think Id do well in the show But not for trials no. You'd have to be pretty amazing though tbf and very consistant under pressure...
  12. I was trying to see how well known Danny macs April video was on youtube, so I tried to see how little search words and wrongly spelt I could put in for it still be the first result. Im at 'April inspired' and its result number 1. Thought this could develop to a game... Find the video and post the link to it (a famous one/widely viewed is better) Then everyone else has got to try to put in the least related words/spelling of words and the result has got to be the first result on youtube. If people want to set new challenges then feel free Ill start off as Ive said: 'April inspired' Who can better that? EDIT: Just 'inspired' now....

    Train Travel

    I was in Portsmouth yesterday.... its 180 odd miles to swansea and cost me £40 there and back, So itd probably cost about £80 there and back to the big NW. Start sharing lifts etc..... Driving is the way
  15. so long as its the correct size as said, sounds like your headtube is worn/flared etc To my knowledge, there isnt much you can do. You can try getting a machine shop to make an insert for your frame, and then fit your headset into that? otherwise its new frame time or it could be loose..... or the bearings could be shafted. Take the sealed units out and see if theres any obvious play....
  16. the see saw was epic. You couldnt hop off the end cos it was flexible... as will demonstrates
  17. actually tanking it now! good stuff btw that intro title is getting old now, stop using it please
  18. lucky bastards... this sounds epic

    Booster

    lol...just lol A booster reduces frame flex. in terms of clamping force, frame flex is bad. Depending on what pads you have, just because they squeak doesnt mean they're good. I wish people would understand this :/ When brakes squeak it basically means the frame is vibrating and pads that have good hold charactaristics opt for this (EG phat pads, LGM's) HOWEVER some pads are shit at holding with frame flex, because it jsut chews up the pad before it can get good purchase from sufficient clamping force. Typically softer pads (heatsink reds) work BETTER with a booster, because they have amazing bite, but if they were to be allowed to vibrate, they'd just get chewed up I have no experiance with heatsink yellows, so before you go drilling holes in perfectly good components answer this: Does you brake hold and bite? Not 'does you brake honk?' If it bites + holds its the perfect brake, REGARDLESS of noise. Ive seen some pretty insane brake setups that are silent to be honest.... and some pretty noisy ones that are shit. NOISE = BITE not necessarily hold
  20. I cant remember the correct term, but the search this forum and put the results on google and yahoo Infact, if you google that sentance in a few hours time, this page will come up....
  21. im gna say no nice to help the guys out, but thats what the sponsors are for!
