hello all
i have been on here for a while now and thought id just say hello, im from bristol and have been riding/building mountain bikes for most of my teen life and since i have started working i have been getting more and more annoyed with public transport so decided to build up a bike, i finished biulding it about a month ago now and im really pleased with it i got most of the bits for it of the trackdropouts.com bristol fixed gear forum and it was a big help. this forum is real good and the ammount of banter passes my long days at work :P.

that bike is flippin lovley, black chain ring would complete it perfectly.

I'd even go so far as to say that this bolt on setup is probably stronger than the conventional lock ring setup.

Does anybody know if replacement solid axles for front hope mtb hubs are commonly available? I think I might like to try this disc hub malarkey out.
yeah probably as they are top of the range for mtb hubs but depends on what hub it is, a hope hub set up would be pimpin!

from my experience with downhill bikes and the forces put through discs the strength is no way a issue, i was running 200mm rotors at one point and had no problems at all and other times running a few bolts less and again still had no problems. if i had a disc mount cog set up i would bet my life that it would never break.
