they totaly different shape, they are very stiff to, not sure about havin 4 bolt mounts and disc mount as i run disc i prefer either or but so far they are going well.

yea that was me, you had an ashton at the time, yea i just threw it together for the comp, felt horrid then, but its all sorted now fells good, done some decent riding ll try post up some pics

found it a lil cramped to begin with when i had pazza bars on but with the tryall its feels very nice now im getting used to it, a stem thats a lil bit longer may be nice the Z2 is the shorter version using it was street/comp/every thing bike really its pretty light but i havnt got round to weighing it yet

i gotta say im not sure about the yellow, but the frame looks amazing in the white and grey

i would have to disagree about the ti spokes, not talking about monty ones as i have found them shit in the past, but iv ran wheels with ti spokes for ages and one of them was one of the strongest wheels iv ever had (single speed king with DT ti spokes alu nips and built on a mavic 519) REAR ran this on the rear for over a year and when it was debuilt it was as true as the day it was built this was back in 2003-2004 also had a front wheel with ti spokes which had no problems with only problem that can happen with ti spokes is that they can seaze up in the nipples then they tend to snap when you try to remove them, but if they are preped right before being built then you dont have a problem

yea they are DOB rims i had them for a while just didnt get round to building them up, they seem ok to me, i dont expect a rim of that weight to take a battering but i think they will do my job as for the forks and the stem they are ZHI not sure you can buy them yet as im still testing them and so far so good but not had them long enough yet to say

RIP i just lost a good mate a month ago its so shit words cant explain

Had this for a few weeks now but not been able to ride much due to breaking my shoulder a couple of months ago. happy with how it rides already but im still getting used to it. just like to say thanks to Fred Savage at NSE for sorting me out with a sponsorship deal

gutted that im going to miss riding there as its an awsome venue, ll be in poland drunken but ll be thinking about what im missing out on

good riding just the not the best angles to show it off well

anealing is only after a part has been already hardend, to make it less brittle basically, what you would have to do to machine a hardend part normalising is basically to return to the original grainstructure ie-after welding or machining when large amounts of material has been removed

they actually nomalise not heat tread bike frames, which returns the grain structure back to normal rather that changing the mechanical properties of the material like they do when you aneal or harden and temper, but these later are generaly for carbon steels

im sure ever one is misunderstood here as i seams that the outer lip is rubbing the calliper, as in the rotor is a tinny bit to large, losen the rotor bolts then turn the rotor clockwise against the bolts then tighten them up should ensure that the rotor is runin concentrict re-red this, just need to get the mounts faced(dont try with a file) take it down ur lbs will only cost a few quid

stiff link in ur chain

kool pics, the ones of fort william look awsome, the setions were great though

yea the blade its self

i want to back up what stan says, i would defo be there but im still recovering from a broken rope in my shoulder(seperation of the A-C joint)

if you turn up and have a look at the sections and decide that they are to hard they will let you drop down to the next cat on the day

i found magura in the UK to be wankers, i snapped a lever blade on a marta sl just by pulling it and they told me i had crashed and it wasnt underwarranty, i never crashed it or even lend it agaisnt a wall. not even a mark on it, i cant see them actually going to the trouble of x-raying it
