What Bike Do You Own?

Is the 2011 hs33 any good in your opinion? I nearly got it but mates talked me out of it.

yeah i think they're brilliant. apparently theres a rumor that they are brittle and brake if you drop them, but i have dropped mine about 20 times in the last week and nothing. they're all scuffed and scratched but still work 100%

id say the only problem is the bleed procedure, the older hs33's.. you just put the syringe on and push,

the new ones you have to undo the barb fitting till 3 threads are visible, turn the lever vertical, remove drill plug, bleed, then put it all back. takes about 10-15 minutes.

it gets a bit annoying, but then again ive had to bleed mine a few times as i keep changing my setup and run it through the forks and obviously have to do the whole procedure everytime i wanna change either the forks, headset, or stem.

Ok, cheers! To be honest for the level I am at, I don't think it would have made a lot of difference (I have only be going for a month or so). I was just interested as I very nearly got one. But handy to know!

Cheers
