RB lever does work with slight modification, as they are slightly too thick to fit. If memory serves, the Echo lever is quite a bit narrower (which could have been overcome), and the TPA/push rod did not line up correctly with the piston; which was the big problem I had.

I'm sure that I tried it years ago and it didn't work.

I miss riding my 90s Cannondale. Frame is in the loft, it will be built again some day...

@La Bourde No one is saying that the dropouts aren't common.

@AdamR28 Cheer Adam. I ordered that one yesterday and got it today. @Ross McArthur The image was framed to tease the eagle eyed 🤣

@AdamR28 Thank you sir. Now the issue of finding one 🤣

I'm pretty sure that it's going to be a k type. Can anyone confirm or correct me?

Have you tried contacting Hope for either parts or a service? I don't know what they are like these days, as it was probably about 15 years ago... but I had the best customer service experience with them. I got in touch with them after I cracked a brake caliper. Even after I told them that I bought the brake second hand and obviously had no warranty, they insisted that I send it to them and replaced the caliper free of charge!

I don’t think Harris is very likeable. The only person that I can think of that could probably have a chance against Trump, is Michelle Obama.

I'm a bit out of the loop, but building a bike for the first time in a few years and need some advice. What are some good all round 26" tyre for the rear? I'm probably going to be riding a bit more natural than street, so towards that end of the spectrum would be nice. Any suggestions?

There were quite a few Koxx bikes that I really liked. Particularly the Koxx Boxx. And the old Echo Pure? early 2000s with saddles

Same colours as my MTB. All black and purple hubs. Love it!

Wow. 2 years later and i'm back to toying with the idea of buying a pair. What's your opinion of them? Still in use?

Not getting paid for hours worked is illegal. There might be a delay of pay, with different pay days, but you will be paid. Nothing wrong with asking for more money. It's the reaction to the answer that bothers me. But the cost of living increase is effecting everyone and the rail strikes are impacting people who rely on trains to commute to work. That's unfortunate, but that's life. Specialist skills/qualifications/experience does not automatically mean big money. But it would be interesting to see some pay statistics for the rail workers, if you've seen any? I wouldn't be surprised if they were already making pretty good money. Your quality of life point could be solved by seeking other employment. Employees are not shackled to their current jobs. They are free to move on to somewhere that suits them better. Jobs are often a balance between lots variables. Pay, hours, enjoyment, commute distance, stress etc. We can't always have it all. Zero hour contracts is something that I think should be dealt with. But trying not to sound like a broken record, find a different job with set contracted hours. Pay freezes are effecting lots of people. These issues are not exclusive to the rail industry.
