pltttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

one day, yes, one day it will be mine

did I mention I have a set? And I got them free? (birthday) you can have em when I upgrade to hydraulic disc brakes.

Anything else is just second best

Anything else is just second best

WRONG!



The reason they are so superior:

4-Piston Design: Two pairs of different diameter pistons provide a stabalizing effect that improves control and stopping power.

XT stuff is cheap and nasty. Hope discs are hand made. And you can get four pot calipers. I prefer the DH disc as above; I've been using them for four years and the stopping power is awesome. If you've seen one in real life they're twice the size of XT. Most DHers have been using Hope stuff for years and for a good reason - indestructibility, reliability, quality. Nuff said

Actually most downhillers perfer hayes....

top sellers for a reason.

I have worked on hope brakes. I dislike em.

Hayes as in Hayes Clutch?

If so I can see why considering the hookup with their pressure plate and clutch plate designs....

No.. hayes as in hayes mountain bike disc brakes...

my new baby... love it!

Iplural:

Any idea what a pair of 2000 Manitou SX LT (Long Travel, 100mm) Would go for? I want to sell mine. They have TPC Sport dampening.

Hummm..!! well i dont know what else to say.
Do you ride Mountain bikes...? if yes.. where?
What kind of bike you have?
Myself..I got a Giant XTC NRS.
Really cool, and i know how to ride it of course.

What a waste of money. You should have got a Kona Stinky.

I own a vps 1.. kinda old school but its got updated parts on it
heres the link

or heres the pic rather

im selling if anybodys interested for $2000 canadian email me at [email protected] if your interested

and than nobody responds... great hehe

I don't like your bike personally. I wouldn't pay that kind of money for it sorry. Most of the parts hanging of that thing I have laying aroung the house.

OK Iplural, Jafo, and other not mentioned (cuz I can not remember) bike freaks:

UPDATE!

I trafed my Access frame for a 2002 Giant Rainier Frame (SWEET)

here is my new parts so far:

race face ISIS splined bottom bracket
Shimano Deore Mechanical Disk Brakes
Shimano Deore Frint derailluer
Shimano Deore Rear Derailluer (9 Speed)
Shimano Deore Rapidfir Shifters
Truvativ ISIS Firex Cranks
Rock Shox Pilot XC Air Fork
Ritchey Stem 0 degree rise
Koski Riser bars - 1" rise
Koski Seat
Aheadset Integrated headset with sealed needle bearings

Soon I will add:

Mavic 221 Disc rims laced to Shimano XT disc hubs
9 speed chain
Shimano Deore brake levers
Panaracer Fire XC Pro tires

And then I am done!

I only have one bike with an Aheadset...and it's a top quality one...but insists on working loose.....my 'real' bikes have Stronglight needle roller headsets...the 'normal' type....and have given me 20 years of hassle-free service....

Aheadset is the only kind of headset i can put on the giant since it has a "integrated" type headset. It hes no cups, the races roll right on the frame.

I don't like road bikes. I'm always suspicious of men who shave their legs...

OK Fuzzy I guess that's your deal..

But for the record the Giant Rainier is a mountain Bike.

Not sure what Jafo has.

Kona....I'll be modding my bike eventually...sleeving the alloy head tube to take a smaller steerer with standard cups and cones....at the moment it's an Easton frame let down by a sloppy head....

Sounds good mate. I am not sure about my headset but if it holds my rock shox on good and tight i will be happy.

Mine's a case of a crappy fork that is in a good frame...so putting the Zokes in with a standard headset will just improve it doubly....
