gu trials Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hi allI am quite annoyed about my tpa keeping going. The metal rod that comes with the HS33 TPA kit keeps getting chewwed up on the tpa side. I have tried diffrent tpa balls and it has carried on chewwing them making it impossible to turn the TPA ball when needed.if any of you have had the same problem then please let me know or if you think you know what could be wrong then please let me know and i will try and solve it thanks.

Jason222 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 You should try to refrain from using the TPA as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are crap!=DEdit: 74Kingz TPA WheelxD Edited April 3, 2008 by Benjaminge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duck Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Jesus christ. If you've had 8 of them, don't you think that its not them thats the problem its the way your using them? Copper grease. Get some, and wipe a bit on the pin, if you brake it after that, you should stab yourself in the face with it.And in my experience 74kingz TPAs are wank, even though the threads on the red Magura ones are plastic, they work fine and they run smoothly furthermore, I've never had a problem with one.
