    Picture War

    It's sinking Titanic stylee.
  2. 1: Take the maguras off your bike and put them fully submerged in a sink full of water. 2: Unscrew the little grub bolt on the lever (right next to the cable) 3: Unscrew the bolt on the caliper (there is only one bolt there so it's not hard to find) 4: Make sure the TPA is fully unwound. 5: Keeping the lever fully submerged under water pump the lever a 4-5 times normaly. 6: Put your finger over the whole on the lever you took your bolt out of and pump 5 times then take your finger off the hole and slowly let the lever go back out. 7: Do step 6 until no oil comes out and you feel resonable happy with it. 8: Do the bolts back up under water and you will have a nice bleed. 9: If you wan't to get ALL the oil let the water out the sink and play with the lever for a while just normaly pumping it then refil the sink and do steps 1-8 again. EDIT: Whoo im slow off the mark .

  4. For street it's got be Plymouth. For natty it's our mile of amazing rocks right by the sea, It get's half the size when the tide comes in though .
  5. Nice pic's Alex, shame you don't have some more though. Good to see me inside your wheel
  6. He won't want to come back to cruddy rainy england once he's been there . Or he could just get a bike shop to re-pack it over on the off chance he want's to come back.
  7. If it is new it will be factory bled so it will be good, but the TPA will have been undone to bleed it and probebly not done up. A 1-2 mm allen key will do the job. You will find a small threaded screw where the lever blade meets the lever, Just tighten it up.
  8. It's 99p for a hundred at B&Q . It looks prety awesome though mate. I think i will stick to a armodillo than a heavy bit of metal straped to my frame though .
  9. Tips to get validated quicker Use the Spell Checker, it doesnt take long! Dnt use txt tlk Use descriptive topic titles, try not to use topic titles such as 'help!', 'Problem with....', 'where', and instead try and put as much information in as possible Try and put as much information into your posts as possible, don't leave people guessing what you mean (this is not MSN!) Do not spam/post irrelevant messages Dont get involved in arguments, use the report button. If you are argumentative you seriously reduce your chances of getting validated The TryAll BB is amazing. It should last for a fair while
  10. You've changed your tune alex But yeah, T-lite's are awesome, Mine's spot on.
  11. I run a maggy on the back because I don't have disk mounts, It's cheaper, Can't get smashed up as easily, can bled and repaired easily, If it gets contaminated it's not such a big deal, and also the sound of it just reminds me that I have a working break. I think if I had a silent rear break it would make me a bit sketchy. I run a disk on the front because of the hold, modulation, the feel of it and you don't look like such a t**t when your flying down the hill with a deadly sound that makes your ears bleed EEEEERRRRRRR!!!!! It's personal preference though, but remember a disk will probably cost more and last less as long as a maggy.
  12. My eno is amazing. It skipped a fair bit and didn't really click much at first so I thought it was crap, but then I found OBM's thread in the FAQ section and cleaned it out all the gack, and bent some of the springs back a little to strengthen them. Now it never skips and has a really nice feel to it. I can't see my self going profile over a eno unless someone gave me one. If your rich go for a profile. If your smart go for a eno .
  13. Im not a stock rider but a realy good starter bike seems to be the Onza T-rex. You get a fair bit for your money.
  14. You could just get a bike shop to pack it up in a old bike box for a 10er or something.
  15. My semi-detailed guide 1) Got up at 12:30. 2) Got dressed then went for a s**t and brushed my teeth. 3) Watched a few trials movies to get me in the mood. 4) Went to the kitchen to have a drink and make lots of toast. 5) Walked into my back garden to get my bike and ate my toast when riding into town and saw lots of black cats. 6) Had a HARD CORE natty ride for about 4-5 hours then I was so tyred I couldn't get on my back wheel. 7) Went to my mates house and ate all his buiscuits. 8) Rode home in the rain then got some chocolate cake and a milk shake. 9) Came into my room and ate, went on PC.
  16. I smashed up my T-pro and gave supercycles a ring and they said to send it back and they will have a look at it. Then they gave me £85 off my T-lite and they fited a BB and gave me a headset for free, can't complain at all. They have been nothing but excellent. Tartybikes are amazing aswell though super fast postage, good deals and good guys. Don't forget supercycles own tesile so are bound to be cheaper really. Now look what this topic has been terned into .
  17. I've already seen it... some how . edit: i read it properly now i understand Mega upload sucks. It makes you wait longer than it takes to download. Not a bad vid though mate, nice rail gap

    My New Vid

    ^^^ yeah. It was awesome, really well edited.
  19. If you have really got your heart set on getting one, I have found some yellow levers but they only have right hand so will have to run it upside down. It doesn't make any deference and you can't really tell. Yellow Levers And yellow calipers from tartybikes. I think they are £15 each though so its stupidly expensive. Calipers And hosing. maggie hosing. Rich/cool peoples hosing All that comes to about £70 so is a bit pointless really . Shame a month ago CRC sold whole yellow breaks for £50.
  20. Mine says lots of things 600w, 230v , 11000 min-1. So my guess is 11000.
  21. Monty cranks are amzing. They are £30 lesser then other decent cranks, strong, light and look the piece. But yeah, as Synergy said .
  22. Somehow it doesn't. I just can't run any split links because they go in minutes . I've been meaning to buy a new BB for a while but new frame in a week so meh.
