    Hope Ti disk hub/spider problem

    I had issues with the lock ring becoming loose BITD with my Hope C2's with Ti hubs. The issue was due to thermal expansion of the spider due to heat being transferred though the disc to the spider. The expansion caused the spider to become a loose fit on the spines and in turn back off the...

    Pushing retro beyond it's limits?

    It looks like you have managed to whack a localised load though the wheel, laterally when the wheel has been over at an angle - or the tyre has drifeted and then a hit a rock so all you forward motion has been arrested and absorbed by the rim. The forces have pulled on the spokes in that area...

    Retro bikes versus New bikes. (Have bikes really improved?)

    Old bikes - new bikes - skinny tyres - wide perished 2.1 Smokes - narrow duel compound, CAD designed bluetac rubber.. Grab one out of the shed and enjoy it's refinements, quirks, speed, 'bad day design', revolutionary designs.. Comparing new and old is futile. I appreciate all my bikes...

    2010 Cotic Soul .... Yet another orange one

    Thank you for the offer of bars Trevor. I'll stick with the current ones for time being as I seem to be getting on with them. I've been out on the bike the last couple of nights. Tonight’s 'commute' from work turned into a 3hr off road excursion. The back end is a lot more complaint than my...

    Help .......with magura servicing .......PLEASE

    Nice buy. You can bleed them with relative ease. Obtain yourself a large surgical syringe, twenty odd centimetres clear windscreen washer hose from a motor factors and the oil used to bleed them is a mineral based fluid that is used in the hydralic shock on old citroen's.

    2010 Cotic Soul .... Yet another orange one

    I should rephrased it 'I'm not going to change anything that costs me money, but happy to adjust things'. The spacers are a temporary fit that are on loan from another bike, hence the out of place colour. I could not bring myself to chop the fork steerer stack height without first riding the...

    2010 Cotic Soul .... Yet another orange one

    The mounts are really well designed and finished. They mate up ok with the newer style levers, but the master cylinders do interfere with the mounts if you want to alter the position of the levers in relation to the mounts. This is nota problem though as they end up in the position I desire them...

    2010 Cotic Soul .... Yet another orange one

    I've felt teased over the last few months seeing 'Thorpie's' and 'letmetalktomark' Soul build threads on here. I've had the frame since January and have been slowly gathering parts for the build. It is a modern build with a couple of retro traits such as the Flite and thumb shifters, which...
