http://www.snowandrock.com/shop%5Cactivity...ducts/MFAAA.htm Does the trick quite nicely, especially combined with foam grips (such as Ritchey WCS).

I thought that was funny as. Hair like that must be a bloomin nightmare :)

Sorry, I mean Davetrials (Y) The kid's dad works at Hope, which it says in the article... I'm pretty sure you can get dustcaps 'normally' too.

Dave..!

Im not sure that's the right sort of liquid...

Ok Mark, sorry. Its too late to expand. Altho I kinda covered it in my previous post... The breaking of your T-Bones, and the P-X was more likely down to poor design/manufacture than anything else. Imagine a 7lb aluminium frame :blink: Anyway, digression... bed time.

Its more expensive than the Echos though. Its a premium brand. Not meant to compete directly with Echo, or Zoo. It won't be weak at 4.5lbs+, and made from U6.

Article taken from Trialsworld Magazine. Apologies if any Copyright has been infringed... if so, someone please inform me and I'll remove it. Anyway... that has to be the coolest bike ever for a 5 and a half year old!! :blink:

Wow, thats cool! I guess its only as good as the tab thats written for it though... Like normal tabs. But a tab the scrolls automatically... useful! hehe

They will be doing it very soon. Same with green unfortunately.

Been up for hours actually... Altho I did just try and put a dirty plate in the cupboard under the stairs :) Paint?

Do you have the single or double walled version? If its double walled, I'd say you'd be ok to drill it. Single wall, keep the drill away.

Its a new brand by Deng, who does Echo and Zoo. Compared to a Pitbull for value, its very similar. Check out my explaination of cost a few posts up.

Nope, definitely wasn't me :) As far as I'm aware, Neils never had a set of those. May be wrong about that though. Hehe, that was probably Bigman? I used to run the same stem (well, a 100mm, not a 120). Had it for getting on for a year.

Yep. But there was some fuss about the watermarked pictures we use, so I wont post links to them. You can also see pics of the new GU forks, too. As for the price, ditto what Phil said. Theres a lot of work in the CNC'd parts of the frame. Most of those parts will have had to be re-clamped during machining at least once, which is a major cost increase (its gotta go back in exactly the right place, which takes a fair amount of time). There is also a LOT of waste (big holes, cutouts for tyre clearance). Longevity... to the trained eye, the design is very sensible. Top and bottom yokes with large weld areas, open ended downtube gusset, other head tube gusseting, huge weld area on the dropouts, and a long bracing plate between the down and top tubes (with their end sufficiently far enough away from the BB shell and head tube to remove the majority of stress concentrations). Claimed weight is also 4.5lbs, so in real terms, thats gonna be more like 4.7, 4.8 - a very good weight, especially for a frame constructed from U6 tubing, which we all know by now is a great material for trials frames. The side plates are pretty much the same as a Vinco, except the weld hasnt been ground away. I believe the Vinco problems were due to a hole in the tube for internally routed cables, which has now been removed. If you compare it to something like a Koxx XTP, I would say the amount of frame you get for your money is very good. Adam

Surely it would be less hassle to just buy a custom rotor (210/215), than a new bracket AND a custom rotor (190)?

Unless they have a 210 rotor in stock... which is very unlikely.

Indeed, its a bit of a strange thing to do! You can get them custom cut by Hope, same price as normal, you'd need a 215 (but worth going for 210 just to make sure) :P Adam

Koxx stock forks don't have an international standard mount. You'll have to get a larger (30mm diameter more) rotor to fit.

I would disregard the 'cross-hairs' if your stem has a solid (no holes) front clamp, although you will need them to centre the bars in your stem (once the angle has been ascertained). A good place to start is to put a finger into each end of the bars lightly, and let the bars dangle. The weight distribution is such that it'll give you a decent angle of reference, and you can adjust from there as necessary. A similar thing can be done with the Onza Carbon Risers, too. Cheers, Adam

Ooh, who's that? As for carbons stems, yeah, no reason not to do it. The problem lies in bolding the carbon to some aluminium clamps, as Mark outlined just now.

Haha, easier said than done. Currently working on Classical Gas... Teen Spirit can be learnt in about 5 mins flat, lol.

Wow, 6ft to back wheel! :shifty:"

Theyre pretty poor to be honest, very hard wearing, meant for XC bikes. My mate used to run a front ceramic rim, tried them, and went straight back to Kool Stops.
