Clerictgm mk2

Don't lie, pawl. Frame was beat up to shit and resprayed with homeless-dirty-poor brown spraycan. And also it was cracked and rewelded in 2 places. Totally homeless ghetto bike.

And you don't have ones, lol. Renting is totally gay. To tell the truth you are homeless.

Loled. Ali, you as a really experienced rider know that the greatest abuse falls on the REAR hub, not front. So 15mm on rear would be more necessarily than on front. So why the fekk Arcade has 10mm on rear?

Because BMXes have 10mm and no problem. Why do you need this stupid 15mm axle, mm? Why not 20mm why not 40mm? It's same stupid as 20mm on skye. But 20mm is better than 15mm because of wide hubs choice. But this is still unnecessarily strong. If axle and hub are good, 10mm is more than enough. And also 10mm is more distributed it trials world, it's the "main standard". So you don't need to rebuild the wheel or using this crazily stupid adaptors with 10mm forks. Also you can make 20/15/whatever mm axle hub for 10mm fork, like CZAR with 14mm axle. It's freaking bombproof.

Price tag never was a problem for me, I'm even ready to pay twice if I'll get it right now. But there are no such possibility so I'll need to wait at least 5 weeks. Same time as waiting for Marino. Now I see the choice this way: Marino: 1) I can choose the color. Candy red is freakin sexy. 2) Free hat (lol) from Peru and T-shirt. Console: 1) Stronger and more reliable in all ways. 2) More beautiful at all (but I don't really like the color) and fancy. Arcade: 1) I don't like dropouts/mini chaintugs and stupid unnecessary 15mm fork so Arcade is out in the cold. One more question about marino - geo is alright? No mismatches?

I've noticed that I like more used/beat-up parts and bikes than shiny brand new ones. Anyone have similar taste? For example my old brown rewelded steel Marino is one of my favourite bikes despite of it costs like trash, frame was bent and it partly looks like homeless guy bike. But I loved this bike so much and if it rides who cares how it looks and how much it costs. Scratches, dents, it's like battle scars, it makes bike brutal and you right off the bat understand that this is a "workhorse". Also I like to repair things, it's so awesome to bring broken parts to life again and ride it, knowing that this is your merit that it works.

So now I can't make fu☾king choice between Marino and Console. Console must be stronger, right? And one really really important thing is not specified about Archive - REACH. Also I don't like this fork dropouts, looks pretty weak, and for what purpose? Weightwinning, lol?

Why not some 1-piece? I don't think 203mm are so bad for frame. There are not so much difference in 183 and 203 with POWERFUL brake. On both sizes of rotors impact on frame would be pretty serious. Smaller rotor by the way have some advantages like: 1) they are stronger in terms of bending after impacts/landing on them 2) they are lighter 3) more modulation Echo TR seems to be pretty bombproof, you can land sidehops on them. But they are strange in terms of bedding in. It takes ages.

Element 2014 that is fourplay 2013? 180mm is enough if this is a good rotors. I have some Echo TR 180, don't know, maybe they are good. But I prefer this infernal bite and locking power that 203 rotors gives.

What about 203 rotors, I like this crazy bite and brutal hold. It's like hs33 without a headache (grinds, leaking, cleaning rims, adjusting pads, etc.) and with modulation.

This adaptor is 203 avid one that doesn't fit. Adaptor with washers are 180mm(+20) one. Yep, I'll buy hope adaptors, they are really cool and light.

For some reason with 203 avid rear adaptor there are only 50% of pad surface touches the rotor. So it's impossible to use or I should file it down for 3+mm.

What about pad knock? Why this shit happening? Pads are moving a bit on my too.

So, M4 Tech 2 EVO are totally awesome with 203 Mono 6 SAW rotors. Don't know if they already bedded in fully but they are already insanely powerful (if they're not bedded in fully they would be even more powerful). Oh my god, BB7@ECHO TR 180 feels like a toy brakes after hopes. One light move of a finger and your rear is in air, no matter of body position/speed/anything. It's like maggie with a good grind and TNNs but with modulation. I'm even done my first up-to-front from bunnyhop(with shitty technique, done due to power of brakes) today. You don't need to push lever as hard as on mechanics. And that lever feel, I don't want to use mech brakes(and cheap hydro) anymore. Never. Next I'll try some V4 TECH 3, V2 and want to find this freaking saints just to try them at least.

It would be really interesting to see your "brakewith" vid. After years of brakeless.

Totally awesome work.

OH shi~, you forcing me to buy this.

As far as I can see this is E4 and hope mono 6 saw 203, good choice, V4 are really too much(and heavy). How they are working? With 203mm rotors? They are awesome, deadly hold and bite. And loads of modulation at the same time. Bike looks awesome. Mark. So clean and stealthy.

TT HR are great bars, but they are 100% more trialsy and Arcade are more streety.

Some new parts arrived. Later I'll write a review on different hopes. Colors are not so match but if I'll like 203 rotors I'll get another color.

It just seems I have too much free money. Probably It's kinda stupid to swap frameset because current one is already great.

If it's on HOPE rear hub only frame+fork+hub costs 500USD in "almost new" condition.

Maybe not. Arcade bars are really better for street-trials than TT HR for example.

over fourplay? Is there any? I've noticed that bars are play really much in how bike feels, one of the most important thing and part of bikes geo. I like Console look and geo more so I rather buy it, but what advantages(instead of aesthetic satisfaction ) I'll get If I buy it? And why on tartys there are different steerer tube info of console and arcade (225 and 235mm?). And Console has 130mm headtube, right? Oh, how can I forget about Marino. What about Archive compared to Inspireds? And of course a custom frame. Any news from him? Something changed in his work? (production time, quality). And whats the best way to pay him. PayPal + credit card?
