Quote from: tlr on April 25, 2008, 10:48:10 amI swapped from old M4s to Hayes HFX 9 on my Alps bike - there's no comparison, the Hayes are better in every way than the M4s, and they are pretty cheap as well. My wife has the XC versions on her bike, and when I get round to it I'll swap the old Minis on my XC bike to Hayes as well.My god, someone who likes Hayes brakes! Good luck to you tlr. I scared myself stupid in the Alps swapping bikes with a punter that had Hayes 9's, but only the front one worked hence I was riding it. He got off the other end of the descent saying he was going to bin the Hayes and buy Hopes. I got off swearing I would never use Hayes brakes again, but it was one of the fastest descents of that particular hill I ever made! ;

Was it you I met/saw at Wharncliffe with Bubba a while ago?If so, what are you doing with your Bighit?Can't really justify mono6s...I need to find someone with some moto V2s and have a play.
seems the big hit with the 24" rear wheel is a bit of a design classic now.

Gear re-alignment on Shimano is easy. Take about 3 minutes unless its totally mullered.Place near the Broady is called Butterworths (as is the place in Hillsborough).If you want to sort it yourself I can explain how. Or even help you if you are struggling.Tim
