Done that with some 05’s they come up really nice with little bit of elbow grease 

[Planet X Zebdi]

[Heatsink 24UK]

After purchasing this frame in 2014 and going through 4 different colour changes and getting it powder coated and having the BB threads ruined in the process and having thrown it in the cupboard under the stairs for nearly 2 years I decided to give it one last try to build it up! It’s a bit of a mongrel build but she’s rideable!

If you don’t want to pay 50 quid a go for the conti’s get the holyrollers, my personal favourite anyway never had any issues with them when I’ve used them.

[MTB frames for trials]

[MTB frames for trials]

Frames like the GT rukus, GT chucker, Identiti Dr Jekyll or smaller alloy 4X frames as they’re stiff and fairly light.

[Cranks]

Hi folks I’m in need of a little advice, I’m having to run a external bottom bracket as a certain powder coaters f**ked my frame up. What would people’s choice be Shimano hollowtech cranks with a regular 4 bolt chainring/bash combo or a Truvativ/sram crank with inspired direct mount bashring sprocket. 

[Coust pads for v brakes]

You can get the coust pad material on its own then you can cut it and fit it to a set of heatsink or tnn backings 

[Adamant 24 lockdown build finished]

Very nice

Never had the 521 only dreamed...

bb7 still my brake of choice  Remember hayes original hydraulic?? Best feeling rock hard lever, no adjustability and didnt work very well ... but the lever feeling, never felt anything like it since. I was “sponsored “ by magura in the comp days of the early 2000s, magura sent me a gustav / louise mix front brake that was incredible, but again no adjustment. That was my last hydro... aside from original saint on dom raabs loaner bike, which were incredible.

King / dx32 still on my hex... The ck hub started on my ibis xc bike in 1998- then built w dx32 for my crescent illions.. moved onto a few echos, a woodman, multiple koxx frames, a zhi, ***, still holds a grind, never untrue... I have replaced some spokes, broken 2 axels, and the freehub body... still rollin strong w hd axle, fun bolts, steel body.  Wheel has been in france, all over the usa... Man when will this “virus” bs be done so we can travel again.

 

I started workin at a bike shop over 20 years ago... damn. Anyone in the mountains if north carolina want to come ride ?? personal nostalgia overload continued...

Hayes are still my favourite disc brakes
