Yeah, have a look on tartybikes to get an idea of what you want, then look on either ebay or the for sale/wanted section of the forum... You can PM people about their for sale items if you want to buy them... Good luck Nathan
I do 3/4 pedal strokes and it does not work if you jump. What you have to do is pedal very quickly, to launch the bike up under you, then extend your arms as it comes through. I can only pedal up about 30 inches but find it much easier just pedalling faster... Don't know if this helps but good luck Nathan EDIT: Try to get your front wheel as high as possible, it is easier to push the bike forwards than it is to lift it up under you...
Ok after a little grinding of mounts and glueing of bolts I have finally managed to secure the pistons in place, they actually give a really solid feel to the brake, especially with the booster... Here's a pic: Your thoughts? (Apart from maybe I should cut them down - will be doing that) Nathan PS: It is the glue stuff that is harder than iron when dry, so it could be the same stuff...?
I google searched mine 'cos I don't like taking flash pictures of my geckos, but anyway, I have one which is 4 years old, and looks similar to this: And one which is only a couple of months, and looks more like this: Enjoy! Nathan
While riding this morning I discovered that the maggie mounts in my pitbull frame were shafted... Shortly afterwards my dad had a conversation with my uncle and decided that the best bet other than re-tapping would be to use some super strong glue (which my uncle has used successfully on a bolt in a car engine) to fix some threaded bar into my maggie mounts... I could then slip my mounts and pistons over the top of secure them using a nut... I thought the idea was genius and was better than re-tapping as it will last longer... Just wanted everyones opinions on it and will edit and put up some pictures early next week (when I have time) Cheers, Nathan
Hi everyone just wanted to tell you about some friends of mine who have a band, they are great and have won every competition they've been in so far, check out their website: www.flick66.cjb.net Some of their stuff is on their site too... They recently won battle of the bands a competition in Cambridgeshire which got them £500 in pocket! Comments welcome and feel free to sign their guestbook... Nathan PS: They have a cd out which (if anyone really really wants one) can be sold and posted through me
Most likely just doing too much spinny stuff, tightness of spokes and length of spokes... All of mine have started snapping recently, normally when I do sidehop gaps and front wheel spins etc. Nathan
