  1. So the dark mornings and nights are closing in and well I need lights for my norco. The missis hates me riding in the dark with no lights ive got around 30- 50 quid to spend on front and rear started looking last night for some but to be honest aint got a scooby on what im looking at. Just some half decent that im gonna get seen and im able to see with as on the way home from work I ride through lil maze of alleys any advice would be great cheers
  2. Cheers for the links will have a look tomorrow when I get time as far as im aware there was only 10 frames made and people was put off but the tiny cs (365) but must admit mine road lovely again going back a while just hoping these bbs have long axles because you have to have a 128mm bb (fsa platinum dh) was part of the purchase with frame
  3. Brake mounts I think have been drilled out to 7mm but there not mashed or in bad shape with the bb thread is it something a boke shop can do or is it a engineering if so anyone in mind
  4. Morning all been out of the game a few years now but ive always kept my bt ninja (just love the frame and how rare it is) was thinking if I should get it fixed or if it could for that matter problems are: 1 3 out of the 4 brake mounts have been drilled out and steel inserts are wedged in worked just as good as original thread but the hot summer with a grind made the frame expand so every time I used the brake the inserts came out. Question is how easy would it be to make new mounts or take them completely off and weld on some vee mounts (I want rear vee) 2 I do believe that ive cross threaded the bb and its now stuck in there with rounded cups I no im a twat for that but I was young and didn't know what I was doing. Would it be easier to cut the whole bb out and re weld a new tube in or if I did manage to get the bb out can I re thread it 3 bottom headset cup is still in the frame spent god knows how long trying to get it out but its in there can you even buy fsa pig headsets Thats basically it or do I just keep it on a shelf in the living room collecting dust
  5. cheers for all the replies boys to be honest all this drilling out axles and or making axles seems well too much hassle when Nwood got the right idea, i have not got beef with QR its just i work with chavs at work and well i dont want them taking my front wheel and hiding it so really want a bolt.
  6. evening all just a quick question really, im going america in couple months and well im thinking about getting a king front to match my rear, question is can you get a bolt on version or are the front only for quick release because ive never seen bolt version before

    Leeson

    got bored of the grey and marble effect paint so went for matt black and rushed it so decided to scrap that and make a half decent effort with this
  9. im using a shimano (sp) carbon booster with heatsink snowy pads in cnc backing on a smooth rim, very nice without tar (it holds but less bite so u can use the brake whislt manueling) or a dap of tar and it holds just like a maggy would with a grind, another good thing is that your brakes wont freeze if you have a maggy and water bleed
  10. i used to run maggy on the rear for ages then bought my leeson and it came with a rear vee and ill be honest there just as good and im some areas there even better, my advice to you if you do go rear vee try and get a decent booster as you may find that you could easily clip the caliper with your shoe and possible braking the vee, also id get a decent cable im running a goodridge inner and outer cable and had any problems since ive had the bike 2years now also i used to run a sd7 on the rear but it exploaded and now im running a sd5 and it works just as good with the same pads and booster hope this helps
  11. evening all any knowledge on these, ive never seen them or how they actually work so any info on price and where i could buy one, it would be for my bt ninja 365 (yeah thats right with the stupid chainstay length) its been hanging on my wall for years and been tempted to build it back up for a project
