shimano deore, never skips, works fine and stands up to big 30ft drop gaps............................ ash

another nice video from you again matt loving skipton skatepark, just rode there tonight with ollie was awesome ash

a hope xc axle will not fit a bulb and vice versa, the bulb has larger diameter bearings. why send it off to hope? axles are readily available from people like chain reaction cycles a lot less hassle that way regards ash

the thing that you need is a shimano lockring tool thats what i use and it fits fine, the tool you are using is proabably one with a smaller bore...... the axle on the pro 2 t is a big boy around 15mm i think off top of my head tools are cheap as chips.............. ash

hope do custom rotors for any size and shape, i.e. gothic, there around the £40 mark though........ ash

yer was adam in the vid

The bottom bracket thread is 1.37" x 24 t.p.i, as for the bore i am unsure, but if you are planning on making your own bb shell , it will be hard work due to having a left hand thread and the right hand thread, also theres a couple of ways of doing it, if i was to do it, i would bore the material to the correct size then i would screw cut the threads left hand and right hand......... the other option is to tap it, however, the taps that are readily available are for only cleaning threads, to get a tap that would cut material from scratch in that size would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack, however, like you said your best option is to get a frame and chop off the bb and headtube then just throw them in a lathe to clean off all the old weld and shite on the outer diameters regards ash

pimping video there rick, loving my hair from last year on the start of the vid when we were in the van, hmm where has that hat got to..................... some good riding from skipton the other nite i see ash

seconded ash seconded ash

hahaha therefore you could get 5.47777's worth of hope sprockets on there my fine fellow ash

obviously not reet good aat turning then are you lol ash

nice job, i did a few at work like that till i got caught lol, just out of interest how did you hold the bash, did you make a mandrel to fit the bore, or did you grip on the knurled part, as you havnt machinined there? what sort of lathe did you use? ash

no trust me ive got a barrel here in my hand, the length of the body onto which the cogs sit is 24 mm long for the 6 speed version, the barrel on the 8/9 speed version is 35mm long which is the current iso , trust me i helped to develop this hub, there is ample enough room to get on 6 8 speed sprockets and spacers, if the lockring isnt reaching then use one with a longer thread, all mine have always fit ash

24 mm i know this for a fact trust me ash

yes we use threadlock (the green one) to dismantle at rolls royce in our toolroom.......... even i was amased when i found out ash

isnt the green threadlock meant to be good, we use it at rolls for dismantling things.............. ash

hmm exploding a front wheel, ive never done that before...... ive had one break ash

pro 2t no questions asked ash

someone beat me to it with the pics of the trials park built in spain ash

would of rode, but i was at the trial just down the road at lady lane, deer park, next time you ride either addingham or shipley let me know cheers ash

was a good trial today, bit wet and muddy but thats part of the fun........... thanks again to observers and to the organisers ash

the problem about pace forks being too long has now been resolved, when ordering your forks you can now order the legs to be cut to the required length, the only snag about this is that its costs £20 more than the retail price. ive often thought about fitting them to my bike but i cant deice wether or not i want to regards ash

ashley?

count me in,deer park for quite a while now, should be fun ash

the brass barrels do wear, they go egg shaped, they are available from chain reaction cycles ash
