Would you be confident you could put a Meccano set together? Old Bombers are easier to fix than that imo.

Take for granted that we think it's a beaut, cos we do! Tell us what you're gonna do with it.

Still big coup for that event getting Sammy Hill there. Good place for an urban DH Albany, actually pretty much the only place in WA that would be any good for an urban DH.

Is that Albany in WA? Was Scott Sharples there? He's from down that way.

What's the spindle length on the bottom one (Octalink)? Edit- 113mm, just noticed

Helluva bike, someone could get a bargain there. That Curnutt Ti rear shock alone is worth the price of admission.

I didn't have dirty big screwdriver to lever the seals out with so I used a 16mm (I think) ring spanner. To get the needed leverage I put the spanner on the floor and used the leg itself for leverage. Best bit of advice I got was "give it some welly". My method would probably make a Marzocchi...

Re: Re: The people on the "hate" side of that equation are just flat-out weirdos. Those forks make the bike imo. She's a beaut!

Hold out for the X Vert carbons. You know it's the right thing to do. Heavyp had some last year he was thinking of getting rid of.

Keep the tin of Dot fluid closed as it absorbs water. I used the handle of a screwdriver to tap the lever, line and caliper to help get little bubbles out. I took the wheel off, took the pads out and put in a spacer so as not to contaminate anything with my hamfisted maintenance attempts...

Look, sometimes a bolt costs 25 quid. What's a bloke to do?

Apologies if my questions are kind of basic. Have you seperated the caliper halves? For my DH4s I used a track pump attached to a small piece of tubing inserted in the hose hole with the bleed nipple closed. That'll get at least one of the pistons out. The other was more difficult and is really...

Never hesitate to give the gents at BETD a bell if you can't find something on their website. They're always happy to have a chat to help you out. That being said I think the chances of getting a rear end is almost zero though they certainly still make linkages.

Yeah one will probably come out before the other but you might get lucky. Then it gets difficult but it can be done. Get someone to give you a hand but your thumb makes a good seal for the caliper body when one piston is out. Other hand keeps the track pump and tube in place and your third hand...

Use a track pump with a little 40mm or so piece of tubing between the pump and the hose hole. Seal it all using your fingers and get someone to pump like mad. They'll come out.

See that queue going out this thread, through the lobby and halfway down the block? That's the queue for the Specialized disc brake adapter. Take a ticket.

Patience young grasshopper, only been a few days, it'll sell.

Definitely the first. Great bike, will make someone very happy.
