This is the fox fork damage I see at least once a week

I had both the old one and the new try all stem in 150 x 30deg both been fine. I don't ride them to there limits thou. Just regular natty trials

I would say fork seals should fix it no problems. But before you part with cash. Turn the bike upside down. Undo to 10mm nuts on the bottom. And knock the treaded parts in. Then pull the lowers off about 2-3" to get a look at the stanctions.

Try finding the invoice. By living onto your crc account it may be there.

Fit a tensile crank insert

If there over a year old with no service I can almost be 99% they will have marks on the stanctions. I have seen 2012 fox float 32 fork legs last 5 months on two forks used by xc lads at work. The seals and bushes used on more recent fox forks have been terible. The older ones weren't great either. While foxes work there awsome but if your after relabilty. On seals and bushes rockshox seem to be top.

If those fox forks are leaking oil. You will find the stanctions below the seals will be knackered. It's normaly a £300-350 service from mojo suspension. New bushes, crown steerer upper and seals all round.

It was a lovely day for it. I had. Great day

I don't use cream my hands are all man. I just hear from road cyclists and endurance riders sometimes do this to help blisters

Keep the hard skin soft with moistrizers ect.... And if you don't have hard skin use chamois cream on your soft skin to stop blisters Keep the hard skin soft with moistrizers ect.... And if you don't have hard skin use chamois cream on your soft skin to stop blisters

That Dmr hub would be my favorite. At least its really cheap and strong and once you break both those shimano freeweels you can buy a new one.

I will do Probably after the trial next week

Brakes are much like good wheel builds. If you know how to set them up they will work at there best. Bb5/7 are very easy to setup correctly. As they use those washers and post mount. So you won't ruin the brake pads by letting them drag constantly. Like I am guessing would have been the problem causing the hopes to be a bag of shite. The hopes use alloy pistons which unfortunately overheat quickly and won't help much if you fit these brakes to a bike used for trials and paper rounds, school,work ect... If the pads are dragging it will be broken in no time. Hopes are a faf if you think setting the brakes up correctly is too much hard work. Bb7 is better in some cases yes. Maybe you could try a trialzone lever on a v2 caliper to improve the relabilty

your making me wanna go ride the museum at hanley now The new bike looks smart.

Hope Trial zones come avalable with post mounts, I haven't used or tried the older is mount ones. Buy have used saints, zee, deores, lx, slx, xt, avid elixir,code , juicy, bb5, bb7. Magura Louise,Clara marta,hs33,11. Formula, rx, oro. Tektro, thingys. Only saints, zee and codes had anything similar to the hope trial zone. But still don't match the power.

Neither would hold. On a 180 rotor. Maybe a 203 A hope trial brake will hold on a 180

You pedal backwards to go faster no wonder I haven't seen this before sounds really bad

Avid and magura use plastic cylinders. Hope use metal

Orange bikes still get things wrong now I can nearly count the bikes I have seen last year with shock mounts welded off centre and rear swing arms unagligned They all go back for either replacement or bending straight.

Hope should make a rim brake and blow magura our of the water. But they won't as they make awsome discs already

Good to hear Tf sorted your issue. The diiference for anyone intrested. Old forks are more tuneable as in shims ect... Newer forks are lighter and have blow off spring lockout valves ect... But are nit as relable

I can drive via your house Dave. And give you a lift in

I would say e mail. Tim at tf tuned

Mental send it back, refund mate
