  1. I too am a Giro Xen user and love the thing to pieces.

    However, there is a new LBS in town who are stocking the full 2011 Fox range and having seen the Flux up-close im pretty sure my mind is made up as to what helmet to get when my Xen dies.

    Great styling, good weight, fitted well (found it really comfy) and they'll do me a good price ;)

  2. They are raved about in the MTB world. If money wasn't an issue i'd be running a pair on my Marin for sure.

    From what iv read they have seriously impressive power for their size and weight.

    Go for it, and if you do find they aren't great for trials i doubt you'll have any problems selling it on again (Y)

  3. I never had any problem with my bb5.

    I have never had a problem with either of my BB7's.

    BB7 is noticeably better than a BB5. More power and tonnes more bite. And, more adjustment is never a bad thing

  4. If you definately want to stick to maguras then go for the 2011 HS11's, same price as the 2005's and less chance of the lever snapping on you. Don't bother splashing out the extra ££ on 2011 33's!

    Nooo, iv ridden a set of the new 2011's and they are so horrible to ride.

    Get a 2005 lever with 4 finger blade. They wont snap so long as you modify the lever first.

  5. They are seriousley not worth the money. Make one:

    Have a scroll through that lot, some pretty pro looking jobs and some pretty scrappy but equally good wooden ones too.

    Too cold/wet/frozen to ride? Take a trip to B&Q and spend an afternoon in the garage making one

  6. no it isn't compatible, it's a disc lever and will have too small a master piston

    Yeh i know it won't be, just saying it'd be sick if it could be. Looks a bit like an 05 lever but with a propper open clamp so dont always have to take off your grips to change it around

  7. Joe Seddon (onza team rider) is running one on his new proto stock and really likes it.

    Having played around on his bike for a good while yesterday i can say i definitely say i like the feel of it. Also like the positioning of the TPA - it can be adjusted 'on the fly' which is nice.

  8. Pretty sure all the Sea-side town town stuff was filmed in North Berwick. Which is where my dad grew up and grandparents still live.

    Going up there in afew weeks for my grandad's birthday, after seeing that, pretty damn sure i'll be taking my bike up too (Y)

    In regards to the actual video - PERFECTION
