jockhaggis doesn’t deserve the shocks. He’s not good enough for them. Give them to me and you won’t be sorry. I’m much better.

I’ve just fitted a pair of the new Magura Julies because they were cheaper than a second hand pair of Hopes and were recommended by my bike shop. I’m rather pleased with them. I’ve stopped every time I’ve pulled the levers and they feel solid. I’ll be interested to know what you make of them. I’ve used Hopes and posh Avids on demo bikes and can’t remember them being any different. I still want Hopes, of course, because they are beautiful, but I’m poor and need a new fork (see above) and could really do with a new crankset as well.

You wouldn’t have a spare crankset lying around, would you? RaceFace Deus would do fine. I’m not fussy.

“Muckies” here. Thanks Singletrack for posting some of our bits. We’ll send some other stuff once we get them developed.

‘jghsingletrack’ you’re right! The ‘shoulder’ is slightly larger than the bottle-top diameter so you won’t “shave the skin off you hands”.

We’ve obviously tried and tested them with various bottle-tops, just to be sure. The worst bit was having to consume all that beer. It’s a hard life!!

Re – Mucky Nutz Bottle Top End Caps – You would imagine, if designed properly, the ‘sharp’ bottle top edge would sit underflush with respect to the handlebar abutment shoulder diameter (largest diameter on Cap), hence preventing skin contact. Can you comment Muckies?
Cheers!

Hora – 853 you mean? Sov is now Tange Prestige. RRP is quite a bit lower but I’m afraid I can’t remember the exact amount so I won’t say owt in case it’s wrong!

Oldfart – I’m giving them a go starting from this weekend. Review in a few issues time.

mmmmm, sharp beer cap edges, facing towards your hands, so now you can shave the skin off your hands, rather than punch the bar through your guts.

Evil looks secsy
