And so endeth @BareNecessities quest to make people think titanium isn't shit

You lot are just sad because you're not old enough to own it

Looks like a simpler piece of plate was used on that particular bike

The plate will be fine, it's the tubes by the welds that will crack.

Shame, cos it is a cool bike apart from the material

I really like those new Paragon sliding dropouts. They're very neat

Why not just add a pivot?

Glad to see this is still rolling. That whole thread is awesome. Spokes are ridiculous in a good way.

Thats a brilliant thread. I mind seeing spokes like those on pinkbike a while ago. Amazing that theres diy going on with them

I have to go to other forums for project entertainment, when Neil's in-between buying stuff ;-)

Yeah I realise I don’t scan through mtbr enough now.

Interestingly that chap seems to have some secret knowledge about bleeding mt7’s…

Don't tell Neil though...

Nope, Trickstuff is his only real option there

Yeah now that DT Swiss own them I’m fully expecting a set of Maxima for £139 per end by next year.

That chap has already replied to my request for knowledge on the Maguras.
@Dammit some useful info on mt7’s here

I still have a morbid curiosity on mt7’s
Might try them eventually
