I don't agree, you could find that post, and add any new bikes that you think are appropriate, then you can also look back at the ones on there like a trip down memory lane...

do a search, theres been a few of these before....

It all just looks a bit unprofessional...

I had the same problem, if you find the lever spongey or more oil behind the pads, then its definitely one of the seals in the slave cylinders. If this is the case then your best bet is to get in touch with Hope as it will probably need to be sent away, their customer service is excellent, so dont worry. Also make sure that u decontaminate your rotor and pads. Do this by pouring boiling water on your rotor and scrubbing it with fairy liquid with a toothbrush and rinse again with hot water. Then burn any oil that remains on your pads with a blowtorch, just dont heat them intensely. The brake may need to bed in again, so give it time, putting water on the rotor, then riding, giving it short sharp bursts of brake down a hill usually works. Hope this helps (excuse the pun) Andrew

an improvement?

Awesome pictures! You've really captured the mood there! I'd love to ride such a big city...

Guy on the Kamel was awesome, although, 8:44, you wouldn't catch me treating mine like that Great video! 12:01 made me laugh, I know the feeling!

uni exam the day after

10kg is a ball park figure for a top spec modern 26"

Have been messing around on 'shop a bit, I know its not great... I recon its HFFA (hot from far away... ) EDIT: or this, beige (i think its going to make a come back...) and i dumbed the stripes down a bit and altered the front a little: Andrew

There well spread out over the country, and the venues are the best in the country, with what will probably be one 'southern' venue to complete the National series. Like what's already been said, new venues are always been searched for. Why have you changed your name Porter?

I like that! Especially the writing on the chain stay. I think it would look even better if the grey stripe went down the top tube as well, and im not too keen on the browny gold writing, maybe blue or red would look better... Andrew

I wont be making it lads as i need to do some wheel building. Also got exams next week as well, so its probably for the best!

i would agree, it looks like its the rear gear cable outer mount, and the magura mounts are below (for a 25" rim), but i may be wrong.

you should have spotted the proble with the mounts earlier, so u may have to have some adaptors made. It was probably a mistake in the factory, so they probably decided to make all of the faulty ones into double disk bikes. As for the chain, you should be just able to get a brand new KMC on with the axle right at the front of the drop outs, its not easy, but its possible.

Sweet bike Max

Is this yours? Obviously its running a disk at the moment, but its not the first ive seen like that, there was one on OTN that had some "home made" adapters.

I think the main difference is that they're just over half an inch wider. The 08 bars are really good, so i can't see the 09 ones being any worse.

Surely if the one round that is yet to be confirmed is at Hook woods, or some other southern venue, then its a National series?? Its not possible to have venues that suit everyone!

+1, thats awesome!

awesome vid danny, some great riding there, apart from the on off loved 1:15! Andrew

but dont all motorbikes have the clutch on the left and the front brake on the right?

Possibly... will see how the work goes and who else is interested from loughboro
