What were wrong with the zoo's ?....is that a disk mount welded on his frame ?

white rims are the sex, awesome bike......I think hes talking about the weld on the frame just above the brake booster.

ok this might be a stupid question but what is that thing measuring, where it says 90.1 ??

I prefer V brakes over maggies, if setup right they can be plenty powerful. I wouldn't get XTR in my experiences because they have parallel push and all the linkages become loose overtime making the brake feel poo. Same with the avid arch rival, shimano xt and old lx. Stick with the 'normal' calipers like SD5, SD7, Deore, New LX, Ultimate. If you have the money than get ultimates because they really are the best. But if not its more important to buy good levers and good housing. For levers, XTR is really good and so are XT's, XTR's last longer apparantly. I prefer the feel of shimano levers over the avids because they have a thinner blade. Having said that the avid ultimate lever has a different blade to all the other avids and feels the best and is the best lever you can get but it cost a bucket load. So I would just get XTR's if you want to keep the cost down Housing, I've never tried nokon but odessey linear slic's are awsome, really makes the brake alot stiffer, I've been using it for about a year now and haven't noticed any sponginess. I prefer it over my xtr housing, plus they come in funky colours. Right now I run SD5 calipers, RB booster, Ultimate levers, linear slic's and Heatsink whites without a grind. The power is much better than my maggie with plazmatic pads. I've never needed v brake adapters so i don't know anything about it but have heard the new heatsink ones are really good.

I've never tried Jagwire Ripcord but of the Jagwire housings I have tried they have been quite spongie. Maybe try some odessey linear slicks or if you have the money, then Nokon.

oh i didn't mean they were as strong as the normal knifen. I kinda worded wrong. Meant to say they will be strong enough and on top of that they weigh less than the normal kinfen....if that makes sense.

knifen superlights, strong as and not as heavy as the normal Knifen's

haha I wouldn't say waste as it does make it ride better but yeah they aren't the prettiest of things, it doesn't look that bad though. Your entitled to your opinion

I want it even more ...please make it into production

Looks really smart. Theres also a red version that I've seen of the marta but you would think to use a better shifter for the picture. Oh well I can't afford one any ways, I'll use my deore v's

Thats lovely, Let's hope they make it into production in steel.

Black is fine, wasn't particularly looking for any fluro colours, thanks alot for the info will have a look around for them

would i get away with running a front try all on the rear ? really wide rims on a 04 pure with v brakes don't really go well so thats why I ask.

thanks for the comments. The new fork rides alot better though because its longer and has less rake which shortens the wheelbase a bit. Too bad the juicy 5 shat it self though, it was 2nd hand mind you. So I'm rocking deore V's at the front now with a really worn out grind . Also just ordered my Pro II T, going to lace it a dx32.

Still got the pure, was going to get a 24" but it was going to cost too much, likewise for a custom 26" so I decided what the heck I'll keep it and try to make it as streety as possible. Rides pretty nice with the new forks. Got a avid ultimate lever and juicy for it as well. Any other suggestions for a more streety feel? was thinking higher rise bar and stem. Anyways here it is, pics aren't the best I can't use the camera properly:

If you were to get a pure definitely try and get the 1065 as I feel my 1085 is too long. Mabye a planet x alibongo ?

this looks promising. Any chance of a steel, v brake version ?

it would be great if you can put it up so we can download it ?

That was awesome, definitely a keeper

does that disk lever fit any disk brake system ?

Dangerboy do hope levers : linky

The guy on the pure rides it like a beast, makes me feel so shit riding mine....excellent video

another good review just can't justify spending that much on pedals, they look pretty awesome though. The packaging is very Apple iPod like.

Good review, the lever looks really well made......but I'll stick to my avid ultimate

Thanks Tipus, your a legend
