Most of the time, I find this site to load sloooowly. today is extreme. Is it just me experiencing that?

but dont they also have lengths? how would I know? Should I get the same length?

I have a Scott Reflex FX25 full suspension and the BB is an internal type shimano ES-30 with lengths 70/126mm. Because of my frame, the front derailleur has a special bracket that clamps with the BB locknut. Ok, so the BB is stuffed and sealed. Apparently, shimano doesn't have stock in SA, and won't bring in more as they are only used on the Scotts and they dont sell many of them. Apparently, the ES-51 is a better BB, but also unavailable in my lengths. I have heard I should upgrade to the better external BB system. Now my question is, do you get one with those lengths, would it be easy to upgrade? What are my options?

hmmm, new to this forum. How to get hold of his hubber name?

Hi I have tried to open my MTB hubs, take out the rusted balls and clean the cups myself. I then cleaned out everything, and put new balls in, regreased everything and now I have problems and lots of questions. 1. I used a synthetic grease, not affected by water. What type of grease is actually recommended??? 2. The wheel is not in the centre of my frame anymore looks like some nuts and washers are different thicknesses. which goes where? 3. I see that the most outer nut on the front axel also is different thicknesses for both sides. Which one goes which side? Help help help pleeeeeze

Thanx for the advise, but you didn't answer my question. 100mm or 120mm?

Hi guys I have a Scott reflex fx-25 with a front fork Rock shox Tora 302. 110mm travel I want to upgrade to a fox shock. Should I go for 100mm travel (is this sufficient?) or 120mm travel? I do normal riding, with some singletrack. Weigh 96kgs. Advise will be helpful thanx

how much does an X1 cost in SA?

Moreover' date=' pads generate the heat and pass it on to the disc or rim. It is a function of the disc to dissipate the heat, not the pad's. I just don't see how one pad can run hotter than another. [/quote'] I hear what u are saying, but if two different pads are made of two different materials/compound and are different thickness, then one will get hotter than the other. the heat generated gets distributed not only in the direction of the rotor, but to the direction of the caliper piston as well. Anyway, as you said, experimenting is the key I suppose

I have bought the aligator ones and they are crap. They dont have the same stopping power. I think they tend to run hotter as well. I recommend buying original
