How old are the kids?, I live 5 mins from Lumber, a mean Clumber n thinks its sheet,!,last time we went it was full of suicide dogs looking after pensioners, that grunt n grumble,Sherwood Pines is only 10 mins further much better for cyclists,& not many redsocks,ideal for kids n summert to do for all ages…
My lads got a Carrera blast,with formula brakes & hope discs,I’ve also changed the twist grips to thumb shifters & swapped the tyres,my thinking is it’ll do him till he’s about 11,he’s 7 now !..
I’ve m4’s & love Hope stuff,and I set fire to
My rear caliper first time out with std organics in !,however,sintered are better,but they do lack a bit of bite ,do ya may need to experiment with ya pads …
What colour dya want?, a tell ya who else to try,Metal magic in Barnsley,they do car wheel refurbs,quick turn round,& do a great job,but Ltd on colours,give them a bell 01226 298544,they’re only just off M1,a629 Dodworth jnc.
ive got them on my new 5,& ive gotta say mine dont rattle,however,ive had them on motorbikes over the years,& they rattled like ****,even when new,you could new bobbin service kit for them,dunno about Hope..
Am a bit worried i’ll get stopped now !,i live in Worksop with the same bike !,only wi black fox 36’s…agh well,@ least the plod are doing there job if i get stopped eh !..hope they get the feckers..
Kinnell !,that’s awefull hope you’re ok fella ??,sounds like my bike too ..I’m only 20 mins from there too !,I Hate these sort of people with a passion ..don’t they have cameras there ??..
Sherwood pines is only 15/20 mins from there !,head to Retford then follow a614 to Ollerton roundabout str8 across & you’ll see the signs on you’re right !..Simples
I agree Dave Brailsfords done/doing an amazing job !,like any well run business/race team the key people work out the strategy etc,but without Wiggo,froome & cav etc nothing happens but yeah Sky are the boys no question !..
Yeah my mate with a shim,on his Genius with no problem,& if you get any frame issues,simply wip ure reverb off & pop youre std seatpost in,in theory don’t tellam !!.
Go to somewhere like Halfords,obtain a box,then take ure pedals off,then remove ure stem bolt lift the bars off bubble wrap & tape them up so they can’t damage ure frame etc,job done!, that’s all Orange did to send a £4k bike to me!.
As the thread has concluded,there isn’t an alternative,it’s not been invented yet !,a bit like the wheel replacement !,I hope your questions have been answered
