bombadillo – even the tech v2s…. I beg to differ

Easy to bleed
Powerful
Great feel
Never go wrong

paul, or just 1 frame

the interview was excellent, i really like the headcam footage to

kingkongsfinger he is 100% geniuine, i've spent 1600 with him and about to spend another 2000

another thing you can do is just go and ask the neighbours, some people are suprisingly welcoming

just bought a load of different stuff from rich at equally good prices. he doesn't only do wheels you know.

LH's father seems a bit different- very considered and controlling most of the time, but doesn't come across as a happy bunny really. Maybe needs to take the manager hat off sometimes, and just be a proud happy parent.

Guessing you didn't watch when LH win the championship last year then, i'm not sure who cried more lewis or anthony

well he has taken his time getting a quote 😉

haha, am or ac, there are about 6 different threads on mtbr about that, you should go over and start another.

here is the link

If you want my opinion I'm buying an ac with the am gusset and shock mount in ano green with red extra love and white decals with a ccdb

ian.pindr@…..

Alright guys, I'm the wrong side of 20st, on my dh bike I run the tech v2s with vented rotors, but on my xc hardtail I run a 203mm hope m4s front, and a 160 mono mini rear, I have more then enough power to lock the rear wheel and enough power on the front to endo.
I'm like you, i'll only go for hope because I prefer the way that they feel. Both sets have good modulation, (bear in mind my m4s are only the monos) and the new tech levers are awesome.

these things go on the trails?

you could do a search http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/pink-bikes-show-me-yours

i can get the sp am4s for 290 plus postage

TLR – dipper has a set in…

Happy with the Hope lights off dipper…can't we get him to do a Hope Hoop group buy? He can put me down for a Flow front and 355 rear (for separate bikes).

I'd be up for this, I want some hope hoops 3 sp am 4 on flow rims

opt1cal, i know somewhere you can get the evil faction for sub 400 pounds. email me at gungun24 at hotmail dot com

Hi guys, you can replace the middle and outer rings with any, however, the smaller ring is different, it is aprcial, when i replaced my rings the outher and middle were raceface and the inner was xtr and had no issues

i'm with halifax, my £6000 nicolai, and my £2600 cove handjob are covered and it costs me an extra 130 a yearincluding them being away from the house, and damage to them whilst riding

I think it's luck of the draw, I ordered some 2010 duel air revs for £350 delivered 3 days after I placed the order.

I'm looking forward to my new nicolai helius ac

Lol, not to sure sram would like that when it comes to the warrentte

i'm wondering if the blue will be to 'metalic' for the forks?

well its the fork colour which i'm not digging, for a purple it seems so flat and dull.

do you think it would be better with blue purple or green which could all go blue and purple here, or green here

this is a better shot of the purple colour

Awesome photos and a great ride, makes me want to go for a ride now….

the new evil bikes soverign (sp) 24inch + tt on the xl

(i think the yellow and purple go togeather but none of my friends agree) lol, i was eyeing up the purple spank rims, with silver hubs?

the forks are the forks, so i guess i need to change the frame colour

ton as another bigger bloke what gear are you running?

ideal fozzy, best come out at the start of the season so I don't have to slow her down to much

Nice, i'll be out there for 2 weeks next june hopefully. might see you there.

Thats a nice bike fozzy, where are you basing yourselfs for two months next year, les arcs?

I have a Mondeo tdci 130 estate.

1) its quick enough considering i'm only 24
2) I bought it 2 weeks ago with 37k on the clock from a ford dealer for £4600 with a 3 year warrenty = dirt dirt cheap
3) It fooking massive.
4) it costs my £800 a year to insure so thats relatively cheap to (first year insuring something myself and under 25) a quote for a £500 corsa came in at £550 for the year

if you decide on a longboard, I have a 9ft 1 longboard which I have only used a couple of times, i bodyboard everyweekend so bought it for when there was not enough swell to bb. However I never got into it and now having moved to maidstone I am not going to use it. It's been waxed up but there is not a mark on it. It cost 600 with the bag so yours for a sensible offer.

goan they did say another car spun, just read the thread properly for a change. And when you say you have driven a car 1million miles, my driving instructor always sat in the passenger seat and let me do the drving. If you drive the miles, i'm not sure how crap your students are going to be

Guys you need to be carefull. I'm 25st and ride a nicolai, its not if the frame can take it, but if your heavy and you want the suspension to work you need a low leverage ratio.

For example, last year i had a nicolai helius fr. It has a 57mm stroke shock and 167 rear wheel travel. A leverage ratio of basically 3…I needed a 1200lb spring which I had custom made, this caused all sorts of problems, the spring wore the resivour, eventuallythe spring bent, and i broke the shock mouting bolt.

This year i have a nicolai helius st, it has a 2.5inch stroke shock, and 160-200 mm of travel. Now I can not run it in the 200 mm or 180mm setti8ng, but I can run it in the 160mm setting with a 700lb spring from fox. I took this to the alps this year (as I did with my helius fr last year) and it felt so much better and not one problem. As for the forks on the front you have to go air as you won't get a strong enough spring.

If you do want long travel full sus then I can pretty much discount any of those listed above… you need something with adjustable travel so you get get the leverage ratio down.

you want to get a leverage raion below 2.5, my nicolai is about 2.2

My other bike is cove andjob with air revelations, that is still going strong after 2 years.

I think it depends on to much. Are you salary or hourly wage, what demand there is for people in your profession, what you used to get, how many people they employ, how many people that are doing the same job as you at a similar level, your level of experience etc etc. it can't hurt to ask, I was offered a grad job at 22k a year, a car, holiday sick pay, pension blah blah blah, i said thanks very much but i would like a bigger salary. they obliged and i started on 24k a year.

yeah, ith wheelies, if you tell your insurance company that wheelies don't stock your frame they should just do a cash settlemtn. thats what happened with my stiffee as wheelies don't do cove

if you wouldn't mind, i'll def have them off you, i don't mind paying a deposite. just that i am moving to a new plave in the country, starting a new job and trying to find somewhere to live, and i'm not quite sure what is happening yet.
