before I phone 'stw shop of the year' (which is closed today) any other places to look for Hope Hoops, a set of Tech X2's and probably a headset as well :fanboy alert:
Would like to discuss the wheel options so a good tech service is as important as a rock bottom price....
Wheelpro for the hoops
Try Blazing Saddles in hebden, I believe they're pretty good
If you want good service, go to your nearest quality LBS.
Thanks, that's a really good price but no options for rim/colour, hmmm more decisions.....
merlin for the x2's, Lex's or Whinstanleys for pro 2's, headset? CK from rutland cyles

CF, if only !
Although my local Evans is OK they don't offer many options on more specialist stuff (although did give me a good price for the X2's)
To be honest I've had better advice 'over the phone' from 18 bikes than 'face to face' in many local shops....
try me...ask for joe.were a tech shop! we'll be competitive with pricing:lol:
Cycleworld have just sorted me out with a set of X2s, they also got me some hope hoops over Christmas (came with the red hubs too because they are a tech centre). Service was excellent, really nice bunch of guys who know their stuff. Fitted the brakes while I waited with a coffee on a busy Saturday afternoon. Can't ask for much more than that.
I'm so tempted by those x2 races's for my new build.. nice and light 🙂
thanks for the kind words gordon! 😆
theirs a quote being done right now hilldodger!

Contact Dipper at [url= http://www.gravity-sports.co.uk/ ]http://www.gravity-sports.co.uk/[/url]He's always given me top deal.
Tell him Bruce sent you, mibbe not as he'll add 10% 😕
As I'm getting a quote off Chris I don't feel I should contact anyone else, fair play and all that....
.....thanks for all suggestions though both off and on forum, it's much appreciated 🙂
Errr, the idea of a quote is to compare prices and offers. It's not a marriage proposal.
you only go to one place for price, retailers dream customer.
STW reverse auction. Love it. We need a new forum besides Bikes, Chat and Classifieds.
I ACTUALLY got good service from winstanleys for my Pro II SP wheelset - arrived within 48 hours 🙂 V. Competetive price on my purchase anyway 🙂

Nothing listed under brakes or forks and shocks 😥
I'm certain we could sort something very nice if you can wait til we're back tomorrow?
Hope tech shop of the year too, I'll have you know....
😉
18 Bikes have done me very proud, good service & advice as well!
So far...... M4 Brakes, Van R Coil Shock, Pro2 tool kit, various bearings etc.
I live in Lincoln, but THIS is my LBS as I ride in the Dark Peak most weeks..... and the bike shops here in Lincoln are terrible - they made a £450 mistake on a set of Pikes - never again.
With them being a Hopetech shop, they never take advantage of the fact and are happy giving you advice on Hubs/Brakes etc over the phone so you can save money and do all the servicing yourself!

Of course, I'll give you a ring tomorrow 🙂
