IMO my fish an chips have more grease in them than a new bearing, that’s why I de-grease them from new and put my silicone grease in as it seems less prone to water and crap, from an engineering POV any bearings fitted in a dirty area, i.e to get wet or dirty, usually have grease ports fitted to purge the old grease out and has to be done on a regular basis.

I looked at a Pro2 in a glass case in a shop recently, and it fell apart.

The hub or the case… :lol:

we changed one Orange 5 customer’s rear hub to the Hope “screw-in bolt” axle + bolts which certainly stiffened the rear swingarm, and the problem went away both for the hub and rear brake

Do you have to change the dropouts or is it a straight fit?

Pre fill the new bearings with grease. Kaesae is right.

I use silicone grease which seems to last.

Filing the knob down seems a shame, filing the frame is a silly idea.

brant thinks its daft aswell…FILING NOOOOOOOO

chain vs chain

At the end,of the one I’m thinking of, he give him his water bottle back?

Phew thanks!

You could file the frame a little?

Edit…

space

should read spacer…off to bed

You could put a space between the bottom cup and head tube?

Keep me in the loop regarding the cuboid, if you don’t mind. My build is still going strong and it’s been on a few wet and muddy/icey rides well impressed.

Nice one BH see you finally managed to build the dynamo light :D
I’m amazed that this thread is still going, some great builds out there, just need troutie to start another on how to build the cuboide ( think that’s spent right?) Reckon this post need it’s own sever/website soon keep up the good work! Feel like building another now! :wink:

That’s why I got rid of mine.

Would be interested to know how long the bearings/bushes last in the frame and cost of replacing them, keep us lot informed.

8O Eh?

First dibs £30. :wink: Now don’t forget.

Ok I had the same problem the other week. I phone Mojo and they where really helpful and sorted my problem out, you have probably damaged the thread on the bottom of the rod and what you need to do is re-thread it with a die-nut M8X1 fine thread, run it down the thread on the rod and for good measure run a tap down the nut also, worked for me. HTH

Does the mini come with fur trappers hat as standard? :wink:

The battery guy is smudge.

I use the ‘a’ method but need to change the carrier to a fork mounted one due to what^^ he said, anyone of you wonderful people fancy swapping?

Anyone know where you can get hold of the portable coffee maker thingy?

Try some of these….HEATED INSOLES

Speechless…… 8O

Think they have this in a 68

How about a pair of these…

Anything by WAGNER…(XFACTOR ONE BTW)

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…..

Looks like Mayans have got the date wrong then?

I charge mine in the garage near the gas boiler, so if they blow up it will take the boiler out and the back flash down the gas main should take out the whole of the UK’s gas supplies resulting in mass panic and a hike in gas prices, just saying sorry in advance.

Get a DX light? Just a thought?

JUST FOR YOU

:lol:

twin what did you use for the grommet as I’ve been trying to find something that would work?

I’ve been thinking about getting one made too, who makes them on here then?
As for getting an old badge off try using some heat i.e hair dryer to warm the adhesive up.

Bit unnerving in high winds but they are rock solid, just make sure you remember to use the locks plus I use a bike lock too.
TBH didn’t know there was a rim adapter, might get some.

Bail from me for tonight

have you got your eyes on a few alter boys then…

Put my name down for tomorrow night.
