I really wouldn’t worry about spoke strength, more important is a good wheel build.

Stronger spokes in a crap build will be weaker than lighter spokes in a good build.

Why don’t you just go for pre built Hope Hoops!

They are a good strong build!

Why why why do people still come onto a Windows thread solely to slag them off. Have you any concept of how bloody tedious it is?

Well it is a forum after all, not just any forum but a STW forum what else do you expect, a place for free speech and discussion. I didnt think I was slagging anybody off, chill out and go for a bike ride!

Why why why do people still suffer with windows, best thing I ever did was get a Mac, been using OS X for 8 years now and never have problems adding hardware

Also my elderly parents wanted to get a computer for photos, email, browsing I told them to get an iPad as its soo easy to use…..they have been blown away by it especially FaceTime & iMessage, they can wirelessly print as well from it so simple!

Handsome devil, there is a light & queen is dead are my faves

+1 for Flipboard

Nice good you’ve gone for the 64gb, you won’t be disappointed

I’ve got an iPhone 4s, ipad2 and iMac……the iMac hardly ever gets used, iPad follows me round the house and is great for sofa surfing,iplayer, flipboard erc. iPhoto and iMovie are amazing cheap essential apps…. Nothing comes close on Android to these 2 apps alone!

Since when is having an opinion rude?

Thank you

I said in my opinion I think it looks hideous and I’m sorry for upsetting people but looks do matter on a bike and I dont like the look of it.

Just out interest I do own a Soul

might be a great bike to ride

What people have actually ridden one?

Personally I think it looks hideous

A nice Audi, Blur TRC, V10 and sell up and move to southern spain

Cocaine & high class hookers

Crowds? I’d struggle to say I’ve ever seen crowds.

It was a figure of speech!

I will be pretty gloopy though, can’t believe it was last week, cutgate path was bone dry!

I would stay at home and avoid the crowds

I’ve got some HR2s 2.4 60a EXO on my SC Butcher, tubeless on Flows, these replaced the 60a/40a HR1 combo. They are heavier but I didn’t notice, they are wider but not massively and so far I’m impressed with the grip! Haven’t noticed they roll any worse/better than the originals but feel more confident ith the stronger sidewalls running about 30 psi in mine.

SC Highball? Mine ordered!

Probably no need to take the pivot pin onto my Butcher, it’s probably worn like all the others, tbh Jungle are pretty good they sent me some redesigned pinch bolts for my old 2008 Heckler!

Hopefully we will be offered a new pivot pin, a re-designed one FOC

Thanks Dave, I take it your speaking to Jungle then tomorrow?

3 years without a service”…….what did you expect?

Take the spring out and see what it is…it could be a soft one!

Did you email SC in the US or Jungle ? Have you heads anything back yet, just interested I have a Butcher, it’s a year old just would we good to know the situation with this. Thanks

Sadly it’s dry everywhere so can’t really comment, think its gonna be a great Peaks tyre!

Yep HR2 2.460a EXO courtesy of Merlin, I think I pipped you too them

Another HR2, great combo, first ride out on these wednesday awesome grip and felt more assured than my HR1s

I had some NEW high roller 2s last weekend, went up fine with track pump on Flows

I didn’t even need soapy water, but I did take the valves cores out and they went up straightaway well chuffed…. I’m just using stans valves and yellow tape and sealant

Why do you do all your rides the wrong way around? up lockerbrook down screaming mile?

I agree, always down lockerbrook/gores

Any Hope dealer will order one in for you, as such they don’t sell it as one, but as upper and lower cups. 18 Bikes ordered mine in for my Butcher……and cheaper thn CK

North America is bone dry……fooking mint

@ruffriders, did you do put a CCDB on your butcher

Does anybody actually buy second hand wheels?

Mmm I guess I need to keep an eye on this, had my Butcher a year now and haven’t found any problem yet

Weight not reall an issue, run my Butcher with Van 36s and ride the Dark Peak

are you happy with it Stevelol

Crime, be careful i got burnt, I’ve got white hands!

MINT…….bone dry today….great ride too and a pint of Timothy Taylor’s at the Wagon & Horses, Langsett!

Just buy tyres that’s don’t need a compressor, just set up some flow rims with High Roller 2s 60a EXO Kevlar bead with a track pump and no soapy water…..soo easy

JB’d it’s say better at pretty much everything.

at what?
