    We are also intelligent beings, not idiots.

    There's general mistakes, then there's just being plain lazy. It doesn't take that much effort to type properly.

    I just don`t like it when people try to be clever and put people down just becuase of their grammer.

    I have had two sets of echo levers and they have been really good!

    They have never leaked on me and are far stronger than maggies.

    The tpa also does not get stuck or jammed which was a problem I had with maggies.

    The only snag I have with them is that you cant get braided hoses for em.

    Hope that helps (Y)

  25. Cube Acid?

    The cubes are a german based company and like most other european companies there idea of xc riding is very different to the uk. Xc in europe is mainly smooth paths going up and down hills so there is not really much needed in the way of the geometry of the bikes, they are very efficient for climbing (there fore quite long in the top tube) but you cant really manouver them about.

    personally id stay away.

    The boardmans are brilliant spec but the frames are pretty poor quality, i havent personally seen the aluminium ones cut up but the likes of the carbon ones (fare enough out with your budget) but the ones of them i have seen have lots of air bubbles which shows poor building/manufacturing technique.

    id be looking at either the trek like mentioned above (comes with a lifetime warranty on the frame 5 years on the bontrager parts and a year on the other parts)

    The genesis bikes (mainly the cores or the altitudes) the cores are an aluminium frame altitudes are a steel. they are deisnged and built in the uk for uk conditions and are really fun to ride. (genesis core20 is a brilliant bike)

    Also look at the cannondales trail sl4 or trail sl3. these come with an air fork which you would normally have to pay £900+ plus to get on other hardtails. (i helped collegeboy on here) look into the bikes i explained about the cubes (he was looking at getting one) but instead took my adivce and bought the canndonale.

    Also i work in alpine bikes in inverness and we are probably one of the closest stores to you in shetland that can offer most of these bikes :) ring up anytime if you need advice dude.

    Thanks alot man I have been looking at the cannondale sl 4 but will have a look at the sl 3.

    Thanks alot for the advice (Y)
