Minion: 2.5" = 1248g, 2.35" = 1206g Hansventure: 2.4" = 1136g. So, yeah, a little bit Adam

The CNC mounts come with 20mm bolts. Standard, as found on most bikes, are 25mm. Bolts supplied with Official Magura HS33 brake-on kits are 20mm. Adam

Got a Hansventure on myself, got nothing bad to say against it! Certainly as grippy as my Minions have been in the past, and its a little bit smaller so folds less. The advantages come for people who like the tyre to roll fast, or do a lot of mileage on street - the harder centre takes care of this. Other than that, its just like every other Maxxis Dual Ply tyre really, damn good! Adam

Still estimated release in April... but that'll probably be put back! Adam

Boil them in a pan for 5-10 mins, then just peel them straight out.

Ah-ha, that's where the problem lies unfortunately. The only thing you can do is run a half link (or a half link chain if you fancy stretching it beyond useable within a few rides), or change gear ratio. Adam

What gear ratio are you running Tom? 18:12 sets up perfectly, but if you're not running that ratio, it may have something to do with it. Adam

Not sure what you mean about the 'back end' Si, but its easy enough for us to use and thats what matters You seem to think we've done the coding ourselves? Hell no! The HSBC integration is something only a handful of programmers even attempt, there's many a horror story floating around on PC forums. We'll make sure we get our web guy to sort the HTML out for V2 for you Cheers Adam

18 mins to within 0.1mm (round and straight), including pre-stressing and re truing/tensioning. Thats rushing though... normally about 25-30 mins.

There's JUST enough room for a normal rear caliper and a +40 adaptor (meaning 200mm rotor), but, you don't need it.

You need to get rid of that banner blocker you have Mark

Thanks John. Got a note in our pile for tomorrow, will get that info to you Cheers Adam

Thats perfectly normal. There needs to be some 'preload' of around 3-5mm when the cranks are new. If this is not there, that means the crank interface is too loose, and you will run into problems in the future. Have you greased the spline? This will allow the crank to slide on further, and make removal easier. Adam

£15 a pair.

Still in testing. We've got hold of one to see how it goes, along with some other little prototype bits.

Hehe, ok then, will try and get one sorted this week.... You have to squeeze the bead into the centre of the rim to allow it to become slack. Waddy can let you know how long it takes to do

Which one did you break Matt? Theres a big difference between the Platinum Pro ISIS and the Platinum Pro DH ISIS... 1.5 weeks is still pretty impressive though, hehe.

You'll need at least 8mm of overlap between the two Patt - measure it and see

Haha, I was gonna post that for a laugh too. I would say about '50% beans' with a foot-long lever (depending on how many pasties you've eaten) Adam

Stan you basher, that was RUBBISH. Haha, not really, big and smooth as always! I think the sound prob is due to the bitrate/compression, I had the same issues a while back... Nice one Adam

The footage is now about 3 months old, so Damon's a lot better now! Just needed to clear out some tapes, and didnt wanna have people missing out in the footage :P Enjoy! Cheers, Adam
