:my theroy: *MARKETING* thats why Tpro is really popular as a beginers bike so they proberly down graded it so it more afford able for beginers yup yup thats what i think
if you hav to money and the right parts then deffinatly go for it *front disk hub *(if you dont have this already, you ll need to rebuild your wheel completely) *disk brake *fork with disk mount front disk is great looks cool as well
I used to use the BLACK PADS from magura and they make a squeak louder than a rust trucks brakes question: How can your pads determine the loudeness of the brake-age? remember i did hav the orginal Black pads and they DID squeak HELL loud plus it did make people jump
clamp your crank in a vice so you hav the crank up and the freewheek not facein your body then get the freewheel remover and spanner (attach a long pipe to it so you get MORE leverage) then you should be done plus HERE if you need help with maintenancein it (cant spell) EDIT:maintenance
every brake booster does the same job its down to the quality ie material, weight so really it doesnt really matter much what you get because they ll do the same job "stopin the brake+frame flexin"
Monty stem its looks better and feels better would recommend raiser bar and obiviously get the right lenght Echo team stem when i used it it gave a different feelin but it might be because i m used to the monty stem so i cant give u much of an opinion with it personally i would get the monty because its has a much better feel as its not as steep
well the trick is dont have your levers tighened up FULLY tighen to the point where it can move if you hit it with a little force which means when you hit somthin it has the abilly to move and not be stiff so it has a FAR lesser chance of snappin
Monty's are AWESOME so does it mean the riders who owns a Monty 221pr 06 are special i wonder why they ve stopped makein???? they did get sold out VERY quickly less than a yr HEE HEE i know where i can get 2 monty 221prs though silver n red i already have one though and its Awesome
you dont hav to use lizard Skin you could just get other brands they work just as well or you could go for the cheap cheap option which is to buy tennis racket grips and just use that and warp it around your chain stay
