Yeh thought so; went for the 180's in the end as through the colder months ill just use it for cruising with suspension forks, then come summer get some smaller rotors and some rigid forks... Cheers!

Now lets see a video of you doing a drop!! Haha, awesome

Ah ok cheers, just that ill be using it for park, ramp, and dirt riding for more than trials, so didn't want the 203 to get in the way

Alright people, I have a set of hope m4's, the old black lever body model, to go onto my 24" Identiti, and was just wondering what disc rotor size would be cool, I was initially thinking 203mm on the front and 180mm on the rear... Any suggestions? Thanks

Saw off the seat tube, and get a mini one seat on it, won't hurt as much if you forget and sit down!

He seems to be doing a lot of street looking trials on it, I always assumed a bmx was made for the parks, and ramps, hmmm...

I'm selling this for 320, posted, nothing wrong whatsoever, just need it gone. http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1160484/

Cheers bud, they can't seem to send to Italy

Alright everyone, was just wondering if anyone knows any reliable/ adequate priced couriers which can send bikes... ( i only really need to know to Italy) So any links/ websites would be brilliant! Thanks!

Looks absolutely awesome, but personally would put a coloured set of hubs on it with matching coloured nipples! Really set them apart from the black and white

Ok sweet, thanks guys!

Guys and Girls, Would anyone please give me advice on which grade/grain of sandpaper I would need to use in order to strip my bmx frame, before it goes of the be sprayed... Also, would help if you could tell me where to purchase it, many thanks!!

To be honest, it doesn't look too bad whatsoever I just wanted to de contaminate it just in case there was a chance... The dishwasher works?!

Don't say that, I'm just swapping my bb7 (works brilliant) for a hope mono! Hoping it works even better! (after reading previous comments it shouldn't be bad as it was previously mentioned that they work well on mods

Yeh the pads are brand new, hence why I wanted to make sure the rotor is clean, but cheers, I'll try that

Ah sweet I'll give it a shot! Yeh just cleaned it with a wire brush and boiling water earlier; but halfords have disc cleaner (although the description states use for motor bikes) would this still enable a thorough clean, allowing for the hope brake to fully grip the disc? Cheers

Cheers lads, so do you rate your opinion more then Bing? Where is brake cleaner available? And just tried to undo the bolts on my front avid rotor, onto a hope II hub, and they appear to be stuck, any tips on loosening them up? Thanks

Yeh re read it after...

I just fancied a change of rotor that's all, what sort of spirits then? Cheers

Does any one know the procedure for correctly cleaning and disinfecting hope rotors? I'm thinking mine is contaminated and don't want to use it just in case, help would be appreciated, thanks

To be honest mate, weight will only become an issue when you really up the height of obstacles, as a starter bike, I can't see it being a problem

Seen you live in Cambridgeshire... Where abouts? I'm in st.neots, there is only a few of us now but you could meet us up, give you pointers and that?

Can anybody remember the weight of a completely standard echo lite 2009? Cheers

They are the same as a kick hop, just practice on lower benches and things; then shift your weight onto the front end once it's been placed on the obstacle. After this, your shift your legs and back wheel on.. Hope this helps.....
