Walleee Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 The fact that I can't run brand new pads on the rear as the mount spacing is too narrow for the width of rear Rim, having said that my back brake is really very good anyway........

jim-p Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 i think getting a really nice pull on the brakes especially if you have maggys , if you want a nice pull bleed them with water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionicman Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 The most annoying thing would have to be trying to get my tyre to not rub on my frame 2.5 maxxis and a try-all 47mm rear wheel doesnt go with my frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Untracable creaking. After you have stripped and regreased and seated everything, and it still creaks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theone2be Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 i think getting a really nice pull on the brakes especially if you have maggys , if you want a nice pull bleed them with water. Please please please do NOT bleed your brakes with water. It may give you a slightly smoother feel but will cause you nothing but problems. For one you have to bleed them with a bit of antifreeze to stop them freezing in the cold winter. Your seals in your maggie lever expand with the water and will be a nightmare to remove without destroying them. Also Magura use there oil because it dosnt oxidise, The chemical symbol for water is H2o, This means it contains Hydrogen and OXYGEN, and after time the oxygen will be released form the water creating oxygen bubbles that will destroy your brake.So please dont bleed your brakes with water, stick to the reccommended oil, magura dosnt speed loads of money filling there brakes with specilalist oil, when they could save a few bob and fill them from the tap!If you bleed your brakes with water please take all of my rant in consideration and dont complain if you brake goes wrong.

Phil H Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Its got to be a few things:- Having an off day where you feel down about your riding which makes you worse.- Not being able to trust your rear brake. (can now)- Being over 16 and having to pay like stupid ammounts of money to go anywhere to ride on the train.- Having to have a shower after a 30 minute piss around sesh in the road.But I love trials really Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trialsbikenut Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) Hi the think the thing that annoys me most about my bike is when you do a pretty big gap and you just get off the wall, and then all you hear is psssssssssss and your tyre is flat as a pancake , i also hate it when my breaks don't work and i think thats it thanks trialsbikenut Edited November 17, 2006 by Trialsbikenut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan the trials man Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 please don't have an argument about water bleeding as your going the most annoying thing about my bike is the chain snapping and punctures with out a doubt i allways have spear innertubes at home because i dont beleave in puncture repair kits so you replace the inner tube about 2 times in a good days riding and you r having fun then snap your chain has snapped off.

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Getting punctures, when your rear brake is awesome, taking rear wheel out, and then it being in the total wrong position, and brake being shit Not being able to buy a good parts iv always wanted...

Bridport-Rider-Dave Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Well worst thing has got to be either puncher and exploding brakes,really annoys me when your having a really good days ride and suddenly you hear a fast hissing noise or the crack of your back when you come flying off because your brake has exploded.That's my day ruined when that happens but like Martin Ashton said in the MBUK this month,"Even if you think your having a bad day your always learning something new just being out".You got to love that man complete and utter ledgend ..Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
