yeah ok, i will give you that one lol.

Most useful reply so far!

the shop said its fine, but he will have to put a primer down. Cheers guys

Thanks for the replys mate. im awaiting there return call as he has gone to find out.

its to get it powder coated. They said it would need to be bare metal to powder coat it.

As title says, whats the best way to remove anodising? I would like to bare metal my rockman!

Judging by your other thread its because you want to sell a bike! If you folow the rules its easy to get validated mate. to be honest i only joined to sell my bike, and i ended up realising how much i loved trials!

The lever leaks with water though

You are now validated because of my vote

have you owned all these parts you say brake?

You will find a lot of people like that on here mate, they could just ignore the stuff they are not interested in like i do.

Spray brake cleaner all over it then set it on fire

Im coming!

It depends on how much the mission would cost?

i got an azonic shorty stem, give us a fiver to cover postage and i will send it

Me and James Sheridan are riding Hearne Bay tomorrow daytime. anyone want to join us? if so we are meeting at the rocks at 10am

Thats what i was trying to explain.

Yeah that makes sence, im working out how many clicks in a 360degrease turn of the crank, your working out how many degrease you have to turn the cranks to get to an engagement point.

Both these ratios = near enough 1.5 with a 18-12 ratio and the 72 click freewheel on the cranks in one 360 degrease revolution of the crank the freewheel will engage 72 times with a 28-18 ratio and a 72 click freewheel on the rear in one 360 degrease revolution of the crank the freewheel will engage 112 times So a freewheel at the rear would effectivly give you more engagements but you would have to run a large cog to get the same ratio

Using an echo sl as an example it difficult to explain, think of it as one revolution of the crank. if the freewheel is at the front with 1 revolution of the cranks it will only engage 108 times. if the same freewheel was on the rear and the front cog was larger (for a desirable ratio it will almost certainly will be) with 1 revolution of the cranks the rear freewheel will spin more than one revolution wich in effect will give you more than 108 engagements per revolution of the crank. but having the freewheel on the rear would require a much larger cog on the front, which would mean less clearance, larger bash ring (more weight) and a longer chain (more weight), there probably is more disadvantages too but i cant think of them right now.

What do you ride? im gussing a stock? are you streety or more into pure trials

more clearance, more engagements, cheaper to replaces, better gear ratio, cheaper.

Im in canterbury. I have a freewheel tool, if it fits your type of freewheel. they are normally a b*****d to get off though

Helpful lot these are. The conventional way is to take the freewheel off and but it beween the freewheel and the cranks, if your cranks have enough thread to do this. Some people put it between there bottom bracket and there frame, but this could cause stress to the bb. What cranks and freewheel are you running. where in kent are you?
