  • good luck with putting a rear brake on the front!

  • I do that REGULARLY!!!!
    I bail everytime i get on my bike. i think its cause my mind goes wondering down a side street, i forget which leg is clipped in and bail the otherside!!!

  • good luck with putting a rear brake on the front!

    Its the same just with a longer bolt according to my research when i UTFS...

  • I read somewhere it wasn't possible so I tried to put the rear on the front and vice versa just to see.. 'hah stupid internet, of COURSE it is possible' I said

    front brake on rear - wasn't possible, I would have needed 1/2 an inch of washers to reach the threaded part

    rear brake on front - bolt didn't reach through the forks

    game over :(

    if you can change the bolt on yours, do it! Mine were built into the body itself so couldn;t be changed so maybe I'm making a silly assumption based on my limited experience. And tell people on here too, they might want to know in future if they have the same brakes etc

  • Gatorskin on rear and a pro race 3 on front Im thinking of..... will losing the weight on the front tire actually gief any advantage since theres the gatorskin on the rear anyhow?

  • You still trying to get 110 bar in your tyres?

  • You still trying to get 110 bar in your tyres?

    Yep, i've been pumping for the past 24 hours with still no joy, i even tried linking 2 pumps together but that didn't work either.

    Guess i'll just have to make do with the recommended pressure of 110psi, gay.

  • I can't believe people rip themselves off buying shitty h plus sons, in the effort to be uber cool and then complain about paying £25 for a tyre.
    Its the only contact point(s) your bike has with the ground. fucking hell.

  • My cleates are the only contact point with the ground!
