Mind you i ordered over two weeks ago. Keep those fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think of square taper middleburns? I got some with my first frame and I have never used them. Im having some problems with my Isis Sl's at the moment so i thought i would try the middleburns for once. I have brought a neon carbon taper bb from tarty as well. I have never heard of any problems but it would just be re assuring to know they aren't going to break on me. ThanksSam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoSam Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Good news. I just received an email from Steve saying that my bash is packed and it will be sent out tomorrow =D I will just have to wait and hope. Info on the cranks would be good though =DCheersSam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Best cranks out there mate. They've been making the same arms for many years now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan_echo26 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 My backings arrived yesterday Definitely worth the wait for them!They are amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Only downside to square taper is the BB axles tend to be prone to snapping. If you get a good square taper BB you'll be fine. I went to ISIS after snapping a good few XT square taper BB's and have had no problems with the ISIS axles breaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scary_jeff Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Ok cheers. Does everyone get a dispatch notice in an email do you know?That email is sent by paypal when the seller prints out your address. It doesn't actually mean that the item has been despatched afaik.

Guantanamo Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 My pads and backings turned up today but have had to order phat pads and backings in the mean time so am waiting for them too. Which are better anybody have any opinions? one set are going to have to be returned. I prefer the look of the phat pads but haven't got them in my hands yet. have the yellow heatsinks with the alu backings here now. I'm gonna return one set, not sure which so input would be helpful.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I think the phatpads are thinner, so better for bikes with low clearance between the cranks and Magura slaves. I've used heatsinks and they're the best I've tried, but I'm ditching Maguras for a dual disk bike soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I've always had great results from all my Heatsink products (and I've used most of the stuff available!), I'll certainly be running as much of Steve's kit as I can for the forseeable future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Only pads I've used on smooth rims were rock greens, which worked fine until any water at all made it onto them at which point they provided no stopping at all. Given it's liable to be raining or wet for the next 6 months I wouldn't go back to smooth rims unless I was planning on giving up trials or moving somewhere a lot drier.
