im so screwed

[lotec]

i got mosnters, ordered a half caliper was wrong one they sent me IS cause its a marzocchi sent it back got the proper one its a hayes direct mount thanks guys got the new one bolted it up bled it put the rotor on the wheel installed teh wheel on forks put the caliper on OOOOOOHHHH FUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK teh caliper is for a 8 inch rotor with a 6 inch adaptor or something, THE FORKS ARE 8 INCH SPECIFIC meaning only the edge of the pads touch the rotor OH NOES i says WHAT AM I GOING TO DO, stop throwing stuff around and swarng my head off and consult farkin, what can i do now, i cant run m4s unless i get a custom 10 inch rotor made up as far as i can see :evil: so if you dont know what i can do can you sugest a company that could make custom rotors if not ill have to get Xts :(

[Daver]

either way you look at unless you run a hayes caliper you will need a custom adapter of a hope no. 12 caliper?

This was the reason i sold them...

[lotec]

its a hope no.12 caliper yes i think im going to kill someone, probably the braindead retard who made monsters hayes 8 inch direct mount this is jsut my opinion but that even more stupid than making the dj street 24 inch only and someone needs to be killed :evil:

[Tomas]

Sorry i just to butt in. Hahahahahhh 10" rotorv :D :lol: :D

[CHEWY]

Why'd you swap boxxer teams for monsters?
Not flaming, just interested..

[dylma]

full stops and puncuation always helps to understand. get em back from marzochii saying u havnt used it yet

[lotec]

the progressiveness i jsut love it, plush as at the start and ramp up like a bitch at the end, boxxers u have them either hard or soft, ive always been a fan of marzocchi but now i have sworn to never buy anyhting from them again and my friends will do the same, i mean maybe they have a good relationship with hayes but this is taking it too far.....

[lotec]

sorry dylma im in a bad mood and typed this fast, i bought them second hand so thats not going to work......

[bighitter]

wanna swap your hopes for some 1 ride old xt hydros (BR-m755 - the good ones) they have 8' f and 6" rear rotors.
let me know if your interested.

Adam

but then he's still in the same boat- he would need custom adaptors...

Then he'll need a custom mount. Im pretty sure cos i did.

[lotec]

i will..... ill think about it and get back to you at least a custom adaptor can be made, i might have to go 888s though and yes thats bad, i like my monsters more than 888 and it means forking out more cash, which is what i dont have a lot of at the moment :(

[MrPlow]

Lote. I would seriously consider a 10" Rotor. That would solve your problem and would look awesome and give awesome braking modulation and performance. Just get it laser cut. If you provide me with some measurements I could possibly do it for you.

[Jordy]

aww poor you....wouldnt it suck if you had to live with what you had !

[lotec]

I jsut thoght it would take a lot of money and be hard to do and stuff and i dont kow the measurements id need. Jordy its not living with what i have its living with what i dont have, that being hayes and i would shoot myself if i went out and bought hayes, id think id gone insane or something. Thanks for the offer mrplow ill see what happens and stuff, i heard something about 218 mm being needed but i dont know. Can uou estimate how much it would cost me and yea i did think of the bling bling of a 10" rotor :D

just take your caliper and front forks (or whole bike) down to a cnc guy....for my xt's I had a custom mount made up by gutty an ex-farkiner

[MrPlow]

Depending on how extreme you go with the design I would estimate under $100.00?

[lotec]

hmmmmmm ill see if i can get measurements nothing extreme jsut as long as it works and jordy the caliper or forks have to be made smaller not adaptor in between which is the problem mrplow ill definatly get back to you

[CHEWY]

Whinge whinge whinge..
My Z.1's don't even have I.S. mounts :)

[lotec]

hahahaha well at least it would be easier for you to get something welded onto the lowers :D

[S.]

hahahaha well at least it would be easier for you to get something welded onto the lowers :D

Yeah, welding onto magnesium would be a great idea.

[lotec]

i was joking man, note the smiley

[CHEWY]

hahahaha well at least it would be easier for you to get something welded onto the lowers :D

Yeah, welding onto magnesium would be a great idea.

Its an alum alloy containing tiny amounts of magnesium isn't it?
Not like its gonna create a 2nd sun or anything..

then theres my mates warehouse, containing literally tons of magnesium and zinc..
whoops.
There goes a Jaguer, VW, a Cadet that won the worlds, and a home made boat, plus a shed turned into a molten pile of liquid magma.. :shock:

Yeah, I bet it's 'you' who's struggling to find the cash to buy more shit you don't need. That is if by "I" you mean "my parents".

You don't need any of this shit. Not Monster T's, not 888's not Hopes, none of it. The bike was fucking sick when you got it, why can't you just be happy with it?

[lotec]

get fucked ryan my parents have the money but i work for it, im paying them back for thr cranks thry jsut bought me because i NEEDED them because the old ones broke, my parents dont jsut fork out fir my shit they payed for PART of my bb7 that it! get over it for gods sake and i dont WANT 888 i dont need them i want to STICK WITH WHAT IVE GOT get over it..... i cahnged the forks to more suit my style of riding as i dont "race" so why have race forks.... and i do realsie i have a race bike but its overbuilt like hell so its gonna hold up to anything i can throw at it teh brakes well that was because i had some spare money from selling some fo teh crap from my room, i hated the feel of hayes and one fo them was broken anyway, i traded the otehr one for a brake i needed for my commuter....

[ajay]

Whoa!
Its on!!!! :evil:

[Ryan]

Nah, just fun to wind the poor kid up... lotec baiting is a sport on these forums ;)

[lotec]

:evil:

[bazza]

and he always comes out the loser. hahahhaha. poor lil bastard. btw do you have an actual job? or is it pocket money or birthday presents or somet shit you are using to pay for some of this stuff??? im glad i have great parents (paid for my full face) but everything else i have worked my ass off for (real work, not mowing the lawn once every while). maybe if you dont have much money you can think about your purchases next time before you go ahead with them. btw i know the real reason you arent racing :wink: . im not flaming i am just saying, check this kinda stuff out before you purchase stuff. and since you arent 'racing' why do you need hope brakes? anyway, i hope you find a solution. it would be annoying if you are stuck in the situation you are.

[hazman]

Maybe you should go back to riding a huffy, get rid of some of your complex bike issues…

[lotec]

yes hazman and you the lucky winner can have my bb7 for $120 for sugesting that brilliant idea to me :roll:

[hazman]

Anyone else need advice? :wink: :lol:

[shmity]

Since this is the internet, you are bound to a legal obligation to give him your bike for 120 dollars.

[danv]

Since this is the internet, you are bound to a legal obligation to give him your bike for 120 dollars.
AHAHAHHA :lol: :lol:

[hazman]

I'll have the money in about 4 weeks lotec, does it include postage? :wink:

[bazza]

smitys right. you better listen or else the fedral police can be called into the matter. how about you get some forks taht dont weight as much as you do! manitou slider's sound like a good bet. than work from there as far as adaptors and shit go.

[lotec]

no im sorry postage is $8880.00 ill start packing it now then mate? and bazza be a man, have you ever even ridden monsters, you dont even notice the weight, im going to bed now so you guys can have fun without me :)

[Dane]

im going to bed now so you guys can have fun without me :)
if you insist! :D

no im sorry postage is $8880.00
i'm pretty sure hazman will be pretty happy to pick the bike up, thuse eliminating postage :P

i think i'd pursue the 10inch rotor idea. it would be unique... and fully eXtreem :twisted:

[2 smooth]

RANT WARNING

Fiannlly! Someone suggests a good solution!

Now im going to contradict that by saying:

If you had stuck with the shit you had, which you so sinsearly belive you did, you wouldnt have this problem would you? Stop buying shit and ride what you have! And when have you hucked anything bigger than 7', which Boxxers, might i ad, can handle without a problem?

End rant.

[toodles]

ooohh... where do I join in....

a custom-made adaptor or rotor would probably cost less than $100 and solve your probs.

If you do work for your stuff can you let me know what racket you're in? A BB7, Hope brakes and a Monster T? You can't be mowing freakin lawns to get that dosh. What are you pushin?

[RaID]

theres a saying that goes

"if it aint broken, dont fix it"

it applies quite well to your situation
im not flaming you so dont get that impression

you have to just ride your bike, forget about
what componets it has it
just ride the thing
i doubt you would have broken the boxxers doing
hucking, i serisoulsy doubt your doing 20ft+drops

ok you can tell the difference between modulation of
two sets of brakes, but is the more expensive set really
going to make your riding better? make you go quicker
no way, learn to ride your bike properly before upgrading
stuff just because to upgrade

change parts when they break

anyway just my 2cents

[2 smooth]

Too right! Listen to this man!

[Michael Hunt]

He's a jigalo and he's probably doin all your mum's and maybee your dads so leave it out.

[Daver]

on another note, i hope you got my sms...?

[freeridejedi]

The ignorance and absolute total crap that lotec throws out never ceases to amaze me. If it was me, and I was spending MY money, i would check the brake mounts on the forks before spending a lot of money. Seriously, does he buy his shoes and then wear them to see if they fit? For Gods sake, research before you buy Lotecshithouseconcept, and you might not need to complain.

By the way, if you'd kept the brakes you had (Hayes) they would have fit fine. I have no problems with hayes, they make you stop and thats all i want. But then again, you race so slowly you probably dont need brakes......

[LTR]

what is your parents job dude? I want in!
