Been building a ride and got to the brakes -- F'ING HELL :tickedoff: IT'S DOING ME NUT IN :tickedoff: :2gunsfiring_v1:
The bike in question is a GT 2001 making then mid new school dia compe 880's (i think)
front - cable in pots mod and through forks and out to side through cable tab - facing fork front - left arm top wants to pull to the right - left top side wants to pull right as well
back - right side top wants to pull right - left side top want to pull right and spring want only go so far before hopping out
now i know that the cable hooks on to the triangle which is tightened to the rear cable / cable tab / brake - can the cable on the calipers be looped around the seat post like a cancer ribbon badge ?
is there any body in near the Guildford area that can help please - any one work in a bike shop - this is doing my nut in and i only have one week to find out what the f'ing hellis going on and to fix it
I would have put it in tech but need phyical help and not just on the laptop
please help - cheers B :-[
-
ooooo, lets get physical
Let's get animal, animal
I wanna get animal
Let's get into animal
Let me hear your body talk .......... :-* :-X
-
Yeah, you can loop the rear straddle cable as you suggest but really there's no need.
I'd bet a pound to a pinch of shit that your springs are either the wrong way round, adjusted wrong or both... ;)
You're more than welcome to slap up here to Romford anytime tomorrow or all next week and I'll sort them out for you, and you can have a roll around Rom skatepark while you're here.
-
cheers fischflo mate :knuppel2: ;D
twobobrob - don't know if i could make it up but would love to roll around rom again - was up there last time with Andy Mcdonald (the skateboarder) back in the 90's
right can yer tell me which way each arm should swing to from the top ?
cheers B ;)
-
If Rom is to far bring it round mine, I live just down the road from you 8)
-
seem to think your near me - where are you mate ?
B :angel:
-
Stick a couple of photos up, so we all know what we're talking about and I'll walk you through it.
If your springs aren't fcuked, we can sort this out tonight :)

Ok, best start from the beginning, which is a bit long-winded so.....
I'll leave you and Chris to get together and fettle it, but failing that give me a nudge and we'll do it online stylee :)
-

i hate brakes and it's not as i'm shifting te work or not trying myself - if i could i would :-[
cheers B ;)

Chris knows what he's doing no worries.
There's just a few rules to follow with ADs, once you know 'em they're pretty straightforward.
-
i roughly know but this has got me beat this time :tickedoff: ;D
-
Why do you have the big bolt thing, use the knarps I sent you. :daumenhoch:
-
:2funny: That the old picture i sent you mate, the one to find the right knarps - they fit, but dialing every thing in is doing me nut in :tickedoff: :uglystupid2:
