It's an Avid problem... I had a set of Avid Elixer 5's with the same problem. Best advice I can give you is to buy a set of Shimano's (or if you have money burning a hole in your pocket buy Hope) and give the Avid's to someone you really dislike. They will fail completely and some point and land him against a tree, bus etc.

This should fix the problem

If I had to post only one: "Money can't buy talent, and talent trumps money"

I have a 661 Recon Stealth helmet, mat black as well. It is incredibly light!!!! If you like the look of the Fox rather go for the 661, it looks similar but is half the weight

Toolsets in general works out cheaper than buying tool for tool. But good quality toolsets are insanely expensive!! So I made a list of tools that I use/need often and bought high quality (parktool) and then the cheapest I could find for those that I use once a lifetime. * Allen keys I bought a parktool set as well as a MIDAS special, always end up loosing my 5mm so when ever I travel the cheapies go with.

Thanx Cpt. Will be trying it for supper tonight!!!!

Does anyone have a killer Mac and cheese recipe?

I use Adidas skate shoes (same as what Kenny Belaey rides). Shoes are personal choice, I loved Kustom but they didnt even last me a week!! Element Hi8 isn't bad, but I wouldn't use them for hard riding (they tend to slip a bit doing big drops, 2m+ drops). FiveTens are just a bit too expensive for me, but I do still want to try them...

Just to clarify, are you getting puncture's from the outside by thorns etc, or pinchflats? A little trick the trials riders use to prevent pinchflats is put about a tablespoon of baby powder in the tyre, it just prevents the tube from pinching between the tyre and rim,

Awesome thanx!! Do you by any change know anything about the Vacari frame?

Hey guys, i recently bought a oldschool roadbike. What gear ratio would you suggest? I have a 16T in the back and currently a 52 in the front. But its way too hard!! Was thinking of getting a 42t in the front but experimentation gets expensive!!

Hey guys, this is my new SS project. Its a Vacari frame, can someone maybe shed some light on the frame please? I bought it from a friend and according to him its an Italian hand made frame but he's not sure of the era it came from. Currently I mostly have shimano 600 componants on(came standard with the bike). But still have to change the front gear to a smaller one and repair the front brake and then start playing with the colours.

Hey, contact Dylan Victor from CycleLab Tokai. He might be keen on joining

Hey, if you set V-brakes up correctly it will do the job. Try putting Coca cola on a cloth and wiping the rip with it, will make it nice and sticky and give you a bit of extra power

Hey guys, I know I'm stupidly late on this post!!! I'm a trials rider so have a fair amount of experience on flat pedals. I've normal cheap BMX pedal, Crank bro's 5050 and now i'm on Echo pedals. I found that any flat pedal with a big surface and "pegs" sticking out works for me, I did not like the 5050's due to the screw effect. the grip like hell but doesn't always let go of your foot when you need it. The shoe makes a huge difference!!! I love my Element Hi8 skate shoe (Dylan Victor also uses these), but I'm thinking of moving to the Adidas All mountain shoe when it gets released sometime. But in general the softer the compound, the better grip but the shorter the lifespan. Also look at the bottom of the shoe, if the sole has a mesh effect it will grip no matter the compound. The Hi8 is a fairly hard compound but works for me... PS if you're new to flats get shin pads!!!!!

Yup will be there!

Its very hard to find pallets!! Best is to try get a few from builders or a depot... Else just build your own, you can buy warped wooden planks for cheap, then you just screw them together

Hey MISA, you can contact Dylan Victor. His number is 078 893 5200. He is importing a few sometime.

Peach can we maybe organise a group effort and go re build the course at MTN park?

Whoooohooooo!!!!!!!!!! I'm famous!!!!!!!!!
