  8. Hey everyone, My allen-key screw on my disc brake lever was smashed in when i bought the bike, ive managed to open it up a little so i can now fit the allen-key in the screw but its stripped. does anyone have any tips for getting it loose? i need it undone so that i can move my brake lever furhter up my bars. Its a Hayes 9 lever any help would be appreciated
  9. Thats my frame! I also wanna get mine re-painted
  10. that you have been to
  11. i see what you saying and i was just kidding earlier, also those rocks in your pictures are loose as apposed to tokia's
  12. sh*t sorry murray! i left my phone at home. the ride wasnt amazing today. ive had a loooong and tiring weekend and that showed today on DH3 i was just too tired to lift up nicely on the jumps on the way down. but earlier i was happy just lost my concentration often and was riding the brakes. also did a HUUUGE jump in the freeride track and landed sideways on some pineneedles and then hit a berm and then pedaled off, id imagine it looked pretty sweet but i was sh*t scared, went wayy to fast and forgot about the corner being so close to the jump. but i litrally must of gotten double the amount of air on that jump than the ones on DH3. Capricorn: Rock gardens.....DH1 at full tilt, i managed to just lift over that steep rocky and rooty section and almost flew off the track, also some cool sections in the begining of DH2. and the freeride track looking forward to having a thru axel and a bigger fork, i really have to lean back allot with the stance on my Nitrous to go fast down the rock gardens and other technical sections, its a little to short for the frame a recon. But i really wanna have all of us DH'ers in Cape Town at least, having a ride together, wouldnt that be cool?
  13. haha well im off to go practise on some real mans rock gardens. Hope the weather holds up! and my seat.....
  14. thats a gravel road man
  15. Panik whats with you and anodizing everything? if your gonna anodize anything on a bike, its gotta be the same red colour as Cap's front hub, i love that colour! and just BTW Capricorn: what colour is that on CRC? i want that exact colour
  16. tokai on sunday, i got no cash for the race also my seat just broke.....anyone got a spare seat for sale? like cheap cheap
  17. Well does the click occur in the same crank position every rotation? if the click is in the same crank position every rotation, it could be your pedals. if not, turn the bike over and woble the cranks and see if there is any play at all in 1) the pedals, and 2) the crank. if there is play in the actual crank arms, it could be your BB otherwise its just pedals. But also just incase, try loosen and re-tighten all the screws in the bikes frame, also clean out the seat post, or try riding without the screws or seatpost. they could also be the source of the clicking. Good luck!
  18. and please hurry I wanna try it out. or just put the old ones in and you can ride over here and illl help, i got mine out yesturday.
  19. Cloth, Hammer, and a vice
  20. haha thanks phase 2 is a bigger fork (Marzo ) and a front 20mm hub, (Hopefully soon) and then 3 is new derailer's, shifters, re-spray.....and a new seat (next year or as things break, depending on much cash flow)
