They're the same...close topic If you want a choice of colours, go try-all....if you want to save £4 go trialtech. Both made by VP ( vp-458a ) and just re-branded. Whichever you buy, you should remove the inner cage though.

I know the forks are weak...but thought the Hydroxx was a pretty strong frame?

Fluid is widely regarded as being incompressible due to it taking gigatons of force to reduce it's volume. Fairly sure anyway....

only way would be to run no steerer but...there wouldnt be any space for a hollow bolt large enough to take a cable in one of those wee star nuts.

KMC Kool = K810...what I said up there

tt lite = KMC z610 HX Either K810 or Z610 for sure...

Looks great...rear rim I want soo badly in black!

Either as long as you go for a decent set-up....I'be had both and got on really well with both. My recommendation would be MIddleburns with a TNN bash, rear ISO king orr Try-all cranks, Echo SL FFW, Trialtech ti bash, Try-all 'H' hub Thats what I'd run if it were me, the only real difference between the two is price and weight distribution really....

nearly always this...need a wee washer so the bearing preloader sits against the inner steel part of the bearing.

Looks fine in the description.....I use quite heavy grease for most stuff though

Picture of the offending article?

I = BJH mate

.

*lube / lubrication.... For general stuff I use some Red Lithium car grease...the kinda stuff you have in a caulking gun Nice'n'cheap and certainly works well.

I'm shite at sidehops...worse than most people on here....I always take my foot off or just pussy out and don't try it. If anyone has any ideas then I'd be glad to hear them

Fluid = incompressible. Dot 4 is a revision of dot 5 ( or vice versa ) and is slightly improved in some areas. Both will be fine , and nearly definitely unnoticeable.

Weak as buggery...known for breaking No, that was the Echo 05's They flatspot very badly due to their relatively flat profile. Yes, they have massive holes....far larger than on the 07 rims. The 07s were revised with thicker sidewalls, more rounded and higher profile and a thick ridge on the rim giving them a distinctive look. They;re pretty much bulletproof but insanely heavy...

Ah good stuff, glad you enjoyed Cheers dude, that's St Ives...gorgeous there Ah no worries, glad you liked the riding though Cheers man Ye, love that tune ever since I heard it in Manifesto.... Cheers man, The sunset bit turned out quite nicely I reckons... haha thanks Max....come and ride with me in a couple of weeks then Yeh man, for sure as long as the weather's decent

Old tensile cranks limey1 frames YBN half-link chains Dicta freewheels Unsealed hubs of any variety ( apart from XTR in xc )

I think the new trend for lighter weight stuff can only be a good thing......the Echo TR and urban ranges have the heavy weight stuff, whereas the Sl and koxx/ monty/onza etc cater for the lightweight. Also pushes rider to be less bashy with their stuff I reckons

come on...just use the search. Original topic

Try-all nuc stem/ tartybikes forged....or trialtech

No problems dude, we'll sort something out in rides closer to the time Make a proper couple of days of it for sure......

They ride alreet too......with the 18" wheels you can have pretty kak discs and they'll stick work really well.
