  1. Im running a m4 with 205 disc just becasue I had it spare from my dh bike as I sold it all. It seems to perform just aswellas my brothers mono trial but then it weighs alot more and uses a smaller rotor so maybe that proves it works very well. Im happy with mym4 i have no money to buy a new brake and it was free (technically) Only proboem with he mono trials is I find when it locks it has too mcu power and it feels unsafe and un nerving the m4 has so much modulation and it locks up fine but not as sharply and suddenly as the mono trials.
  2. I was tryng to make the same decision until I found out echo rims only come in 32 hole. So I had to go for Roone, Reggie combo both are stron and hold grinds well. You really cant lose
  3. Measurements Thickness: 7/8mm Distance between top 2 bolts: 94mm Distance between bottom 2 bolts: 100mm Ill let Adam confirm those measurements as its had measuring accurately with it on a bike.
  4. Someone awas asking whether you can run a maggie with goodridge hosing on water. Id like to know this aswell becasue it should solve the shitty unresponsive feeling you get from running maggie fluid in a goodridge hose, seeing as its only designed for dot4/5 I would be willing to try it but I have just had a friend sort my rear brake out and it took a long time to bleed it so it got a solid feel on water so im reluctant to take it all apart and loss the feel in order to experiment.
  5. knowing the eather its always wrong. They did stay it will get colder which is a good thing more riding, as long as its not wet im riding, overcast skies are fine. If its windy on sunday can we not say at shell centre all day as its rather crap in the wind, its gets channeled there becasue of the open space and then the tall building, tunnel effect my sons.
  6. I have one, its on my bike now. Ill double check now but your on about the carbon fibre one they made which is about 10-12mm thivk
  7. I ran goodrdge hosing on my dh bike and then sold the bike. I has the brakes lef tover so just yesterday changed to a disk brake up front and used my m4 and its as good as it was on the dh bike. my front brake has the solid feel it should have and i can modulate the lever a good cm before the brake bites like a pig. I m not sure about hs33 just becasue you have to cut two differnet lengths of hose and two lotsa of fiting. I may try it has i have a spare goodridge hose complete with fittings and some extra cut off hose from a previous goodridged brake. Just need a set of fitting which i can pick up for spares so i may give it a try.
  8. Theories fine did those online test full marks in all of them without any revision. Im the educational type the practical side of driviong is the hardest for me but so far so good.
  9. right time to get a form what ne do i need for a provisonal it has a stupid name or number
  10. Smaller engine might be better, but i want a mini for the insurance quotes. Anyone think im rushing into buying a car speak now. It would fit ingarage nicely and i can still store all the crap already in the garage in there aswell. im realy tempted now as i have the money to hand. Gonna make a trip to post office to willy up a form, also whats the form called now for a provisional
  11. Im 21 bit of a late starter, danny what was your quote. I was thinking itwould be quite cheap, theres no aoys, no mods as far as i know. Brothers is a 1.4 206 and his was 1500 with sainsburys
  12. Technically Im loaded but I cant touch the money as its in a isa. Im gonna have a look for quotes, I work for sainsburys so I get 15% off insurnce did it for my brother too. My brother is fully comp so does that meanhe can drive the mini if i bought it. As if ot if its not insured i have t keep it in a garage as up the drive i can be done. Im not sure. Oh and whats bubble rust.
  13. what about the rest of the plan, stupid buying it and having it lying in garage or wait till i pass my test
  14. I call this type of music 'thinking music' Purely becasue when its playing you kinda wonder off into a mellow state of mind and think of things, peaceful things, how id cange the world (Y)
  15. Found an imaculate condition 92 m reg mini 1.3, 21k miles in british racing green 3 miles from me Guy wants £1750 for it. I cant even drive but I was thinking as soon as I pass my eyesight test from dvla which takes place at the same specialist eye hospital i go to any way and seeing as they have said my eyesight is good enough aready i think i cant loss touch wood. I ve had a drive with dad to learn cutch control, got that sorted after an hour passing theory is a doodle. As soon as i get the eye results back as a yes im certain ill be driving within a year so was thinking of buying it then and keeping it till then. Mybrother can drive already so maybe i can get let him drive it, its taxed and motd for another 5 months.

  23. I want to do anything with transport consultancy, polcies in uk but preferable in London.
  24. I know theres already a brake pad topic for reviews but could someone in the know do an faq. Just something like liost each pad and say what type of rim they work best on sort of thing. I only know about koxx original pads and plaz pads you see and i want different pads but dont know what pad is meant for what type of rim (grind, smooth ) Im sure there are plenty of other people in my situation
