Jonnyb92 Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 It's been an expensive Christmas and it's left me with little cash, but I was just wondering what little inexpensive modifications I could do to my new T-Pro I could do? I am already considering grinding the rim as the pads are already slipping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am already considering grinding the rim as the pads are already slipping!Ye i would get a light grind, and some decent pads, it will make you have better holding power on the corner of walls and stuff....suli...

Boswell Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) some cheaple little upgrades are - tensioners, dustcaps,rip tape, frame protector, chainstay protector, grips and bar ends.probably more but can't think of them.PS dont buy a grind you can get and grinder for around £10 these day, that way you get unlimited grinds.

charlie >est< Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) A cool cheap mod is a brake booster, its a nice way to make your bike perform better and look better. Thats what ive done to my new T-Pro Edited January 11, 2007 by charlie >est< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trial-biker-ryan Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Seeing as it just happened and it's relevant to this post, I just had a shit and it only hurt a bit, and there was minimal blood loss afterwards.Only a week to go and I should theoretically be healed...You should buy a Alloy TPA of edd pots on the forum... as your little plastic ones will nacker up soon.... Best 3 pound i ever spent..Ryan.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt rushton Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I think you should get things that will actualy make a difference not just look good. Things like new bars. Ino you said you had little money but just save up for a while.Matt Rushton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 is it a new t-pro or old one? (maguras or vee brakes?) definatley invest in some good pads, maybe a booster if you can afford it (stiffens your brake up, protects it to) look to get better bars + stem to, (ZOO! risers with an echo stem is what most riders 'l run but it'll help you more to have a go with as many setups as you can + find something you like) but a good setup 'll set you back £60+ (although monty+onza do cheap oversized stem) the forks that come on t-pros(birds+vees) are heavy as fook, should be ok seeming as your fairly noobish but lighter forks make alot of difference (easier to bring front end up etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie >est< Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 A paint job is quite a cheap mod, but its not that easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris mac Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hello, I would say that you spend your money wisely, think about what you would like to change on your bike. i would personally go for some new pads (koxx browns on a grind) will result in you having alot more confidence doing gaps and drops etc... also if there is anything that is cheep and you can see braking in the near future. my forks didnt last too long so maybe save for a while too change them. hope ive helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
