Hi, anyone know a sure fire way of removing the snapped rear caliper bleed nipple on my gasgas03 without knacking the threads on the caliper? should i take it to a garage or will they just break it and tell me i need a new caliper? basically im hoping to get it fixed for as little cost as possible but i know one wrong move could cost me dear! thanks for any help

yip your definatly right, but once ive conquered somthing ive just gotta get a bit more daring and do somthing that i know is out of my league, suppose thats how i thought id get better quicker, obviously not! but no riding for a good three weeks now cos of my arm so it should give me some time to read some columns on here and maybe calm myself down a bit!!! it still is fun going up them really steep hills though......

hi newby here, been riding about 5 months now and absolutly love it, cant get enough! havin been lucky enough to move to the yorkshire dales this year found theres acres of playground now ive got to know the locals who have shown me where to ride. my only problem is I keep falling off, big time, in five months two broken ribs a broken thumb and just this week fractured my wrist not to mention the constant barrage of bruises that are constantly on my legs (wife keeps askin, u call that fun?) **** yes... ive never done a sport where ive hurt myself so much though, still i cant stop myself from getting out there, in pain or not. do or did a lot of you guys out there do a lot of falling off? i bought a protection vest but the lads seem to give me funny looks at the bulges protruding from my shirt, so i dont where it cos i look like a ****, does anyone else wear one thats a little less conspicuos. on another note watched the reeth 3 day for the first time which was fantastic, not sure if its the norm but there seemed to be a lot of injuries not lifethreatning but painfull all the same, hats of to the air ambulance and the riders who helped out though. just thought id give a quick shout to the organisers as well for a really good trial. might even enter next year if i can stay on me bike for more than 20 seconds!
