sexymike Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 thats right, its in this months MBUK about the new range thats out. we have a lot of it in and to be honest some looks good some not so. the tubes for instance are 5 quid rather than 4, they seem to be just a tube. the tool range looks nice however, expecially the pedal spanner thats kinked offset to chainstays are not a problem first glance looks ok but im sure some of it will end up on mine if not some of ours bikes well done halfords, they seem to recognise riders care about the things they buy.

DrEvil270183 Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 only thing i thought was really cool was the cable cutter, they have a little fold out pointy thing that is used for after you cut brake cables, it opens up the plastic bit inside outer cable...works really well lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Most of it looks ok. Having seen the tools and used them :ermm: If you look at the metal its made out of it what appears to be very low quality easily roundable metal. For instance the bb tool, lockring tool. Ive used them and I went back to my park stuff straight away (Y) But everything else looks good (ish) Apprently the X pedals have the same sealed bearing system as the V12's. My two cents, Will.

Will Arnold Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 (edited) our store only has a few of t5hese items so far, including the shock pump, its crap the gauge goes: 10 20 30 50 60 70 80 90 100 ...... etc :ermm: and when you release it from the forks it lets out approx 25% of the pressure (Y) the rest of the stuff is sound though, imo.

Swindon rider Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 The tools are Cyclo tools, which are very good for the money. Ive got cycle tools at home and have never had any proplems with any of it. All of the new Bikehut range is really good stuff. Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holroyd-wanna-be Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 i brought a cassette tool and it is pretty good and is small in size so have to use my qick release to hold it in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Was reading mbuk and saw some fancy pedals from bikehut. Apparently they're all made by welgo, just with a different sticker.. So what dya think of these for trials; 22 replaceable pins :P and at £35 quid :turned: Link to bikehut's other products :P Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 I like the look of those pedals, apart from the pins look a little fat and might not grip as well as smaller ones, as they wont push into the shoes as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Tupman Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Look pretty swish :turned: I'm liking the carbon stem for 39.99 :P" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Motivator Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 http://www.halfords.com/opd_product_detail...&type=0&cat=385 Don't think I'd fancy using them for free riding :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011001000110010101110010 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 The pedals are really grippy but dont really stand upto the abuse of trials. They have got nice sealed bearing though, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindon rider Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 The term freeriding, does not refer to the canadian hucking kinda freeride, they mean you can ride xc on them, but are strong enough for the downhill stuff.
