  1. Id keep the green get that small inspired logo off the top tube change to some decent street tyres, get a set of spacers that colour match then remove that green elecy tape and stick some zip ties in there are your on to a winner. Everybody has a raw bike but not many people have a colour that will stand out like you do.

  2. I have this problem quite a lot mate i do some of my best moves when no one else is there and its depressing :/ My best advice is to find some music that chills you out or you can ride to put some ear phones in and drowned everything else out and just thinking about the bike and what your wanting to do. I sometimes listen to a bit of classical like the ww2 requiem for a soldier song just chills me out haha :)

  3. Just thought I would report back guys my metal washer spacer idea is working perfectly yay! And I rang hope tech and they said that the pro conversion would not work so I'm glad I did the washer idea :)

  4. It's a revell 26" street frame, I done it with my zoot put a pro2 on and it was awesome. I work as a diesel fitter so I'm gonna measure the width of the drop outs and cut some small bits of steel and put them behind the axle tube forcing the wheel to stay were it is then I don't need to run tensioners either

  5. When I put tugs on the hub they sit on the skewer instead so I cannot tighten them up because they have that much play in them if I put the tensioners actually on the hub axle then the only thing holding my wheel in there would be my skewer so when I do a drop it would snap the skewer, and I know there is not a conversion for the XC but I'm talking about getting a pro 2 conversion and seeing if that works. My hub is not standing proud of the frame and I cannot use snail cams because they sit on the hub axle and I would have the problem of the frame riding on the skewer instead of the axle again

  6. Long story short guys I got a new frame except it has horizontal drop outs I'm currently running a hop XC rear how with a QR so when I apply power it just slides in the drop outs, my question is this. If I purchased a hope pro 2 quick release to bolt conversion would it fit my hope XC hub? I really want to keep the hub but I can't run the frame with this set up had anyone else had problems like this if so could you shed some light? Cheers guys :)
