    ARGH “Pedal strike”

    Chris kings are very good,but like you say are a lot of money,and need very expensive tools to do a full service.Last years
    Hopes are good value,but i broke a rear axle,and have had problems with pawl springs, and the pickup isnt that good,and seem to wear bearings quite quickly.
    My favourites and what i am running at the moment are Hadley hubs,Easy to service and seem very reliable,Will be building another set of wheels on Hadley hubs,probably with Stans Alpine rims and cx-ray spokes.
    I also have a set of Mavic SX’s with the latest 4 pawl hub,Been excellent have just replaced the Bearings after 2 years,riding all year a couple of times a week,including a few trips up to wales and an uplift day at Cwmcarn.

    Avid XX and Avid elixir Cr carbons.

    They will be to replace the XX brakes.I want larger rotors and i am riding more,Including steeper and more All mountain riding than XC.
    Dont want to risk the XX for this as they are rated as XC brakes,so am buying some X0 in red to match the X0 red groupset i have on order.

    When me and a couple of mates went to Whistler riding,we took a break from the bike park and went to Fromme mountain to ride a few trails.
    Half way up there was a stopping place with good views,my mate took a photo using his brand new camera,then i took a photo of them,my mate decided to put the camera on the roof of our car.That was the last time we saw it,almost….

    Until i got home and looked at my photos,there it was on the roof,still makes me laugh that photo.

    Has your dyson got a Hepa filter,Mine had become blocked after about 4 years.Replaced this(available on ebay) it is located under the bin ,you have to remove a plastic cover to get to it,It looks very similar to the one you wash but it is different.
