  1. Its ok but not the best, dont just look for a brand new ones look at second hand ones. Were abouts from west yorkshire are you? If you live any were near keighley take a look at aire valley cycles they have some second hand bikes in there and quite alot of brand new ones (Y)

  2. From what i can see it has one fixing point and you have drill your dropout and put a bolt through for the adaptor to lean against, great idea for when your hoping on back wheel as the adaptor will push against the bolt. But when you come to a gap and land short there is only the axel fixing point doing anything and i can see this deffo creating flex and giving a poorer brake bacause of it, as there is alot of force on the disc as the rim will be acting as leaverage on the hub and disk because it is a hub that locks and not a rim on a disk brake.

    Well your deffo wrong there mate as the brake works amazingly well and has no flex at all. Dont knock it untill you have tried it. For it to work well on a stock you would have to use a 200mm rotor to get the same effect as a 160 on a mod.

  3. It has the one that you will be able to see and the axle bolt sopports it aswell. If you added another bolt it would weaken the dropout too much. My brake works really well and holds better then my mates monty did, im really happy with mine deffinatly worth the money (Y)

  4. I enter comps all the time and there mint. You dont need to be good enough for intermediate and scott you maybe saying novice is easy but i would like to see you enter it and win. So if i was you just give them a bash.

    You might enter at first in a easy catagory and not get a good place but you will get used to the comp style of riding.

  5. Yeah it will because different frames have different style dropouts. You will need to have 2 fixing points instead of relying on the hub bolt only it is dodgy and with the force on the brake when you land on the edge of the wall it could cause the adapter to spin. The best designs look like the ones that go up to the maggy mounts as im guessing they will be quite stiff. If i make one i wont have to use the maggy one because i have a extra hole next to the dropout that i can use as another fixing point, but id say deffo think of away of haveing 2 fixing points.

    Mine has two fixing points (Y)

  6. Hi mate, i would go for the 2007 Hope mono mini trials, not the mono mini, cause i had one of thoes and there just is not enough power behind them, as they are made for XC riding.

    iv heard that BB7's explode if they are put on the rear :S god knows??

    Hope ***!!(Y)
