Guess i wont be riding it home today, i've just broke the star nut in the forks, now cant get the stem off or tighten!!!! HELP!!

It's all original spec Jaymz apart from the pedals and rear wheel

you can get round that. the star nut is only really used to push the stem down onto the forks, then the two bolts on the back of the stem secure it.

You could put the stem on and tap it down gently to tighten the headset up then tighten the rear bolts, ride home gently, Ive ridden bikes with NO star nut in before as a temp measure

Well like a div I didn't put the locking clamp on before fitting the stem so now can't undo the forks to get the stem off to re fit...

Sorted all taken out ready to add new Star nut, I think i'll play safe and ride the Haro home, pick up a new star nut tomorrow, then ride the f@@ker

I need to mess about a bit with the set up, get it right for me, the seat is up a tad from the pic, trying to resist jacking it up to high

Got some goodies in the post this morning. That's the rear brake set up sorted

SALT AM u brake, Vocal linear cable and Used Xposure blue levers.

Just waiting for a new intergrated headset to arrive and a nice little package from the very helpful guys at KHE.
Some up dated picture will follow.

I'm running one of those levers on my KHE, they work very well and nice to use

Sink · « **Reply #31 on:** March 24, 2012, 10:43 PM »

Seem like nice levers Jaymz, I would test them out, but, the SALT u brake i bought is broken!!! So I got to send the POS back, I wanted to go out for a ride tomorrow

Might just rob a Tektro off my GT for now, as everything else is set up

Looks like they are hard to get hold of, looked online but most places in the UK are no longer stocking the F Set. I have found them state side but wont import stuff as the Tax is a pain!!

What can you recommend for around £20 Jaymz or anyone else? I can get the Dia comp 990 for around £10 are these any good??

Get an evo

oldtired · « **Reply #37 on:** March 25, 2012, 12:07 PM »

990's always good seen on the net for under £10 , using a Superstar one at the mo, nice n simple,low profile also has roller bearings instead of bushes so it works real smooth round about £30 ish

You could try the Xposure matching caliper or one made by blank if you are trying not to break the bank

Xposure U brakes

Blank U Brake

I was looking at the matching Xposure ones, wasn't sure if they were any good. I might get one of those to keep in with the colour scheme. Although I know Dia comp is a reliable make.

I can't warrent spending £40+ on an EVO brake, as the bike was only £110

the
xposures work. You aren't going to be stopping on a penny but they work. It's all in the set up and the pads. Xposure bachelor pads are great stopping tools.

I ended up robbing a tektro off my Haro for now, untill I get another brake for this one, couldn't wait anymore

Took it to the skate park this morning!! Wow light as anything and nice on the ramps. My bunny hops are almost twice as high on this and I managed a fakie on the 1/4 pipe, just need to nail the roll out

Got what I was waiting for, Decals sorted, although these are for a pro, I can live with it

Jaymz · « **Reply #43 on:** March 28, 2012, 08:26 PM »

Tht looks much better with the decals, cant understand why people rip the decals off their bikes

I've always loved stickers, my KHE is plastered in them, my freestyler has a few extras on it

I'm actually contemplating rawing my S&M and buying a couple of those 100 packs of black and white S&M shields and sticker bombing the front half of the bike
