i think most of the people that said they are crap will have them within a year. its expensive stuff making brakes though and even though there is a mark up.. not a huge amount. especially on hope brakes if you check the trade price. just think how much i.e. a heatsink cnc full brake would be..... king loads.
thinking about it.. for the extra 50 quid or whatever you would spend on some.. you could easily afford a set of nice gloves, bobble hat and scarf. oh, and a cup of hot coffee everytime you are out in the cold. focus on designing something needed...
but you must be aware that the jeans ever so slightly enhance the appearance of homosexuality? its the same people that dress oddly though i think..they were the ones wearing curtains as mentally baggy trousers and 40inch raised leather boots with more buckles than a kids bmx. Seriously, the tight jeans look so daft its untrue. Maybe you will realise when the next fad comes. Or when you grow up
i think the steryotype argument is silly because some of these people, especially emo's will delibrately dress that way to be classed as one. the seem to have very good arguments about their dress sense too and god forbid dont call them goth. why on earth they do it is pretty odd. skinny jeans. and hair so you cant see. WTF? admittedly though some of the girls do look hot. but on guys.. i actually do laugh at them sometimes.
stiffer, obviously. i believe the only forks out are steel suspension corrected dirt jump heavy stuff. i have always wanted to seem a 150mm rear 12mm bolt through frame.
