See you there guys! If anyone wants any bits taking, just let us know (Y) Cheers, Adam

Whack a 19 on the back (Y) Adam

We've not got any bikes in stock at the moment, but can get them should you require. Postage on a mod bike is £10 for next working day delivery, and £15 on a stock bike. The reason for the difference is that couriers use 'volumetric pricing' - so a stock bike, being bigger, costs more to post. As for other items - yes, the prices include postage. We feel it makes it easier, since you dont go to 'check out' and find theres a huge postage amount stuck on top of the total! If you order more than one item, the overall price usually comes down too, since postages are combined. Cheers, Adam

The brake itself looked to be working great though - certainly felt good. I agree about the rear wheel however - it was built really poorly with some zinc plated crap spokes, and 2x (Y) Awfully flexy. Nothing to do with the brake though...

I'd recommend a Mono Trial. The mount on the KOT is at +20, so any other brake (that fits) will need a new rotor... however you can get the Hope all ready to fit and go (ie. a 180mm rotor supplied instead of the 160 it would be normally). Plus, with EBC now working on red pads (following a tip off courtesy of a certain shop (Y) ), it can be even better! Dani Comas seems to get on with his alright too... If you wanna wait a bit and see what its like Toby, I'll be getting a rear disc-ed KOT up and running as soon as I've got all the relevant bits together. Adam

That's why it'll have been skipping then. Evolution know jack about trials!

Well the bolts screw into the axle around 25mm each end when using a 110mm spaced frame... so theyre gonna support the axle a lot.

I'm not sure, but the extra flex can't be a good thing. Theres a fair bit more moment on that part of the hub when extending tha axle. What grade of alloy did you use for the axle? The Profile guys are away til Monday at Backyard Jam btw :P

Is the spring in correctly? I had that when my spring had popped out a bit and was catching the rotor...

Not on hubs which aren't modified from 110mm spaced axle to 135mm spaced...

Sorry, that pics the one where Aust didnt make it. The other one I have was taken too early, so looks even worse - but Aust did make it up UCI clean, landing back wheel first and then putting front down. Ben was riding the Giaco frame, +10bb, the stem was something he's playing about with - didnt seem to do him any harm!!

That is f**king quality, hahah ^_^ Should have said 'that'll repair them' though...

Cool, cheers for clearing that up Mike ^_^

It is indeed. 7005-T6 to be exact.

Balls to you then :) Wonder what happened to Dani's trolley... ^_^

Hahaha! ^_^ Pic was taken by Julien, Jason!

Matt Staples riding a mod like he'd been riding it forever, and enough style to go round everyone? Yeah thats right :) Cool pics Julien, good to see you again! ^_^ Adam Edit: Wristbands ahoy!

You'll be needing a 68x124 or 68x127.5. FSA do a readily-available Platinum Pro DH ISIS 73x127.5, which you can use a spacer to convert it to 68. Cheers, Adam

I believe 7005-T6 is also on Matweb Steve ^_^ And I think U6 claims approx 20% higher yield/UTS than this!

Hehe... U6 is a good material for sure. You need to weld Aluminiun in an 'inert' gas atmosphere too. The main expense with titanium (I believe) is extracting it from its ore. Its only really found naturally as Titanium Oxide (same with aluminium as Aluminium Oxide), and therefore the 'oxide' bit has to be removed. Its easier to 'extract' aluminium from its ore than titanium. Theres actually more Titanium Oxide on the earth than Aluminium Oxide!

Yeah, pretty much the same as un-alloyed - found a figure of 112GPa Adam ^_^

... but then that means your cranks won't be as tight as they should be. ISIS axles are tapered to one degree. The stops are there for a purpose ^_^

Couple of edits in case you haven't seen Steve ^_^

All very well, but you'd need to compare 6061 and 4130 with something 6Al-4V for a proper comparison. As you know Steve, its the alloying agents that massive improve the properties of such materials! Edit: Quick Googling shows UTS of 6Al-4V to be more like 1100MPa (after heat treating), with Yield of 570MPa - http://www.key-to-metals.com/Article86.htm Thus making the Yield/Weight ratio 126, and therefore over 20% stronger than 6061-T6 (in theory)! Edit again: Density of this grade comes down to 4.0-4.2 as well, so the Yield/Weight is even better - 139MPa (using 4.1 as density)

Try some silicone spray James - the grease won't work its way in properly. A new set of pads would do it good too ^_^ The Aztec rotors are pretty sweet, although I think it causes the brake to overheat and pads to glaze more easily. Theres less surface area, and the lack of holes doenst scrape the pads as well. When Kev's brake overheat and he hit that car, he was using an Aztec rotor I believe...
