looks more 'tacky' than this?

If so, you must have spinners on your car!

 

One kind stops the fatties well fed people

One kind stops the skinnies salad eaters

The XTR is so Chatsworth with all that "chrome".

So you're saying that Hopes have more power and better feel than Shimano. 100% agree.

One of the many things I love about hope brakes, is that in the event that you do come off hard and wreck them, one can buy nearly every part as a spare... and make colour upgrades

Patches are these anodised levers also on tarty bikes, as I cannot find them there?

No but what I am saying now is that you have trouble reading

[Bobbo_SA]

Holy crap. How on earth did he get that right?

 

Appears to have gone AoT and somehow managed to get his arm to slide down the lever or lever down his arm, probably that one in 10 Trillion chance of it happening, hectic though.

[Headshot]

Nothing beats the Hopes. I run Shitmanos on the play bike and they suck.

 

The Race X2 with 203mm rotors on the Morewood rock! Smooth, light and super powerful.

 

Define "suck" please? I need to know becuase my shimano's seem to blow and I am wondering if there's something wrong with them.

If hope can stop a fat bloke and shimano stop skinny okes it follows that hopes have more power. You see the fat guy has more momentum so it's more difficult to bring him to a stop. See? It's called logic.

Go find lunch somewhere else. I'm not feeding you.

Well stop sticking your dick in the lever.

That was witty. I must remember that one.

I think his wife's name must be lever.

The more power part is the logical part yes, but the feel, thats opinion.

Ja I dropped that in by accidental insertion.
