I've had some pretty good use out of the Try-all super sticky ones. At £30 they're not cheap like but if i had the money i'd definately get another set.

Cool, cheers. I've seen a fair bit about bleeding brakes with water whats the deal with that ??

If you pull the lever really tight and lock the brake as much as you can then zip tie the lever to the bars in that position and leave it for an hour or so that streches the cable and stops the lever feeling spongy. Hope that helped some

Having decided to go with the 26" option over 24" i was wondering what would be a good 26" rim. I thought the 2007 echo rear looked pretty nice but that is probably due to the rad selection of colours it comes in . what rims do you guys think would be the best bet for a reasonably light, pretty strong rear rim. Awsome colours are definately a bonus too. Also what makes the echo version of the HS33 over twice as much as maguras one. Is it twice as good ? Cheers Guys

In my experience when you take the skewer out you should be able to just pull the cassette off. when you have pulled it off you shouuld find that its full of really thick green grease if you clean all of this out of the palls and the rachet ring (i would think that actually taking the palls out would be a good idea) and replace it with either some thinner grease or even just some bog standard lube it should get louder. if you want to make it quieter then do the same but put loads of really thick grease in and it should quiet down. but then my hub is a fair bit newer that yours so i dont know if it will work hope it helped
