so the last 3+ times ive put fronts on my bike, they came off cos they just werent performing. cable rubbing the tyre, lackluster braking performance, rough pulling etc.
This time though i think ive cracked it, the phrase "throwing a brick in your spokes" applies. im seriously worried that im gonna rip my headtube off with this setup, clear pads + chrome mayhem.

hope it was worth the 2.5 hours i just spent truing my wheel and switching my brakes over so i could get my evo 2 on the front

bought videos and dvds off the boss and tryandtitlefight me. excellent communication from both these chaps (which is essential when your getting shit shipped overseas), would recommend both

took my wobbly fly cranks off. degreased and put permanent loctite on the splines . I'm hoping it holds up till I can get new cranks

my friends thunderbolts always seem to wobble. he cranks up the bolt with mad force but in 5 minutes they still wobble, no matter what the spacer combination.

also, my other friends wombolts also seem to wobble but thats acceptable (those cranks are like 5 years old)

I have never come across a set of Wom/Thunderbolts that had wobble which wasn't due either to a lack of spacers or spacer tube, or insufficient grease under the head of the bolt or on the wedges. That lip on the cranks where the bolt head runs MUST be well greased so it can go tight properly.

If it is an old set of Wombolts with the old wedges then having some of the wedges upside down can cause it also.

I hope this helps.

think some of my wedges must be in wrong cos my wombolts move when i pedal

havent had time to do anything with it yet cos ive been so busy with work, but i bought one of these the other week.

cant wait to get started building it up. for anyone else interested, the company http://pitbullguitars.com/ do loads of different models. the hardware and shit obv isnt going to be top of the line but for $150-250 AU, its a decent price for a complete kit if such a project appeals to you
