Just got a short xtp frame number 43 if anyone intrested. transfered from riding a czar long, absolutely loving the new frame feels so flickable, still getting used to the shortness. Just treat it well!

Thanks for the useful advice guys much appreciated

^^ Could you expand a little on what you mean? Cheers

Another question why do the frame depreciate so quickly?

Hey I was wondering what the bikes like? Iv been reading apparently the frames pretty weak is that true? Im 11stone and just a beginneer would it break? Also whats it like to ride etc. Cheers

I have rockshox totems on my commencal. I love them. Im not sure they would look right on a hardtail. My friend has domains there nice, similar to the totems just not as beefy. You could go with marzocchi just dont get the new version of forks get the 66s. I have ridden some fox 36s there very nice!

Just put it as your avatar

Nice wish my frame was scratch free unlike my czar

I would buy either!!

Just ordered some new cage pedals as i tried my friends vans and it made no diference. Cheers

Try a rebleed, or il do it. Also how far are the pads away from the rim? They may just need set up properly. Tom

Im so tempted to buy them, im currently running citrus pads on smooth rim but im getting great bite out of them, I might try them when they wear down! Cheers

Any others for cheaper?

Im after some shoes for biking for under £50? Grippy and hardwaring. Cheers

yay!!!

Much appreciated, your right components do mess it up a bit

Well I would want to leave the components as it is. But im still not sure on what colour?

Ok thanks

Hi, was thinking about spraying my frame, Im not sure what to go for? My bike currently now: I was thinking of spraying it white then adding decals? Or maybe black into green to match the rims? If anyone is knowledgeable with photoshop that would really help me out. Cheers. Tom...

Yeah will do

Cheers Guys, I realised I hadnt put the pads close enough, now sorted. Thanks once again

Yeah, I just dont want to clog up trials chat with a subject like this. Is it easier to bleed with syringes? Or do you you know anywhere i cant get a guide on how to do it? Cheers

Hi, I have magura hs33 they were originally bled with magura blood when i got them on my bike, but they felt a bit spongy. So I tried water bleeding in a bath. Yet still the lever nearly touches the bars. I have put all the TPA all the way to the + but makes no difference. Maybe its my bleeding method? How long am i meant to bleed them for, iv been doing it till no bubbles can be seen but this obviously isn't working? Thanks Tom...

Just bled my magura hs33 underwater. For some reason one piston doesnt move. The piston on the slave bleed screw doesnt move in, the other piston moves out loads. Is that because i havent bled them for long enough? Cheers
