cheers mate

^

ok just managed to ” smash em out ” with a hammer and screw driver, they came out brown tatts few balls popped out and a smell of burning lol, cleaned up the hub inside, all ready for new bearings, i take it you place on bearing in first then put the little axel tube in sitting on the bearing and pop the other on top ? if im correct, correct me if im wrong :)

oh and one more thing, do i need to add a little grease behind and on top of the bearing on replace? or just clean it out and place it straight in ?

awesome mate, i know alot of things but when it comes to knocking bearings out its just something ive never done so its time to learn something else new i guess :) cheers buddy !

so ur saying once u get the bearing out put the old bearing on top of new and gently tap in? what about the c-clips just a small screw driver? what if u dont have a tiny one and there all normal size lol

link me cause i cant find it :( theres one for a 20mm conversion and a rear hub strip…

spin out on road decents? how fast do you want to pedal down a road decent lol?
and philbert ill prob go for it ill let ya know

i think if i go for the same ring up front which is 32t and just get a 11 to 36 it should be fine because today i just managed most hills and that was in the snow as well! so it should work well together

hmm ok im just unsure on what T chain ring i need really as its got to be good for steep/tech climbs, could do with having a go on a demo bike maby and try it out

im in west yorkshire :) but thanks for letting me know, ill see how it goes for now ive just put a little grease on em for now, cheers.

got the 150`s now anyway

if i can take an alpine 160 with <<<<< 160 forks… round an xc route im sure i can handle a cotic bfe with 150 lol

the 160s are on my alpine is you read up plus there tapered and im after 1 1.8th, ill prob go for `150 @ 32.

ive got 36s 160s there ace reason i wanna try something different and go 150

its a 1 1/8th headtube timraven, its not the newest cotic frame so has to be 1 1/8th, thx for the good feedback lol prob will go for the 150`s tbh

they dont do the fox in 34 what i want, unless its a talas but dont want a talas fork, i cant see it being much different, like i say ive got a 160 already and there great, ive had 140s 32s they were fine so cant see 150`s being much different tbh

bleh prob go for a 150 despsite what people say, end of say its my bike and my own custom build, it will look great n ride like a beast, my mate ran a 150 on his piglet said it was fine so cant be that bad

well yeh but it sounds like the bfe runs better with a 140 fork from what people are saying, if im using it for xc thats good for climbs and it being light and 140 is fine for am/dh, ive got an alpine that uses 160 and thats fine so i guess i can just go for the 140 stay on the light side

nah i like fox forks always have, i think ill just go for the 140s kashima in white CDT, plus it will be lighter than the 150s also,

it will be a 140 (32) i take it?

hmm 140s u say, im not really sure what to get, has to be 1 1/8th steerer though, could look into the float 140s ctd kashima coat in white? cant see the 150s being much of a problem rather than the 140s , never had 150`s thought id try different, keep the comments coming , it will help cheers!

ive always been into fox forks, i like em, after white ones anyway, i think 150`s will be fine, a cotic takes any fork up to a 160, i know what a 160 feels like so to keep it light reason i choose a 150, it should be fine tbh

i need some more advice guys! basically my riding style is xc / freeride / downhill. i do own an alpine 160 so im making the bfe into an agressive hardtail ” short stem wide bars ” n all that ;p ive had 140s before and got 160s currently so would like to try the 150s, anyone else agree? i dont want 160s cause it would make it to heavy, i want it a nice strong build but keeping it light also for the xc :)

what ya rek people!

how much jamest ??

looks pretty cool ill look more into these thx

hmm ive no idea.. cotic bfe u say?

ive seen a DN6 on one inbred will that take a 140 ?

yeh my mate has just bought m4s for his crush lol, are the avids more AM than the x2s would you say then if thats what there putting on an alpine?

the avids come on the alpine as standard, just want to put my hope tech x2`s on it instead but not sure what size rotors to run front n rear.

or i could sell the whole bike as it is? and go for a blue pig custom? its got decent spec on the cannondale as ive upgraded bits in the past

ive had it a long time and had no problems at all, well looked after etc, i just want to sell it and buy a hardtail frame and use all the bits from it on there? dont know whats best to do really
