A good tyre mate , can be a tad soft so don`t expect exceptional life out of them but more than up to the job for British Trails

Well, kinda wish I'd got my finger out and bought those new tyres now! Had the front end wash out on me during a twisty bit at Winlatter yesterday, result = 1 bust knee, complete with stitches.

So, new tyres & some knee pads now on the shopping list!

Ouch....GWS mate.

Its the exact reason I have upgraded tyres with all my Xmas Chainreaction vouchers - and a set of these;

Went for these as I use flats with 5:10 shoes and have bashed my shins too many times. Hopefully will give me a little more confidence so I am less focused on not bashing shins etc.

Anyone know if the Hope Hoops pro3 AM-4 (not the weight restricted hubs) on Stans Flows are worth the extra £50 more than the pro 2's on flows?

Will be purchasing some new wheels soon to get rid of the oem spesh ones.

Cheers. Drew

Not to me, I'd have to change my rotors as well from 6 bolt to 3 bolt so not only would I have to spend extra on the wheels but also on new rotors.

Keep an eye on the bay, I just won an auction for a set of brand new pro 2's on xc717d rims for £200, rrp £330 I think the seller was 'fastpartsforbikes' or something like that

The Am4 are 4 bolt rotors and quite a few suppliers sell them at the same price as others when i searched.

Let me know how you get on with the ebay Purchase. Only that some people advised me to not use them as the owner is David Hinde who has a bad rep (google his name). But saying that, the feedback on ebay is ok.....so never sure lol. If it all goes well and quick for you i may use them too.

Yeah sorry, 4 bolts, I was a bit worse for wear when I typed my reply this morning

I won the auction last week so I'd imagine once the christmas back log is out the way they should turn up

[Drew Carey]

Woop......forks are off to TF Tuned for a full service, new x-firm spring - plus addition of brand new MoCo Damper with Floodgate, Compression and Lockout....

Can't wait - should transform the forks - especially as they come standard with a medium spring - not good for my body mass!!!!!!
