Hope Tech V2 Disc Brake - 2009 - Review - www.bikeoutlet.co.uk

Hope Tech V2 Disc Brake Front - 2009

Hope Tech V2 Disc Brake Rear - 2009

The New Hope Tech V2 Disc Brake is the latest redesigned unit from Hope and replaces the old Hope V2 using the virtually the same but slightly refined caliper matched the the new Tech Brake Lever. 

The Brake power is amazing and matched with the new Tech Brake Lever there is unlimited amounts of adjustment in terms of lever reach and bike point adjustment. 

There is still a Vented Option for those long alpine descent although for most applications we would recommend the standard floating rotor version. The Brake also has the benefit of a Hope Braided Hose as Standard.

We offer the lowest UK Price on all Hope Tech Disc Brakes including the Hope Tech V2, Tech M4, and Tech X2 Brake Unit's and in most cases shipping is next working day - please check before ordering. 

Dawes Ace 2009 - Folding Bicycle - Review from www.bikeoutlet.co.uk

Dawes Ace - 2009 @ www.bikeoutlet.co.uk

We have limited stocks of these which are currently on Special Offer, Top of the Range folding model from Dawes and manufactured by Folding Cycle Manufacturer Dahon. The Dawes Ace uses a lightweight Aluminium Frameset matched with the unique Dahon Folding Design and Quality Parts. 

The Folding Mechanism takes seconds to fold away with a simple catch to undo in the centre of the frame and a linked hinge design making the whole folding design secure and a feel of quality throughout the whole folding process. The handlebars feature a similar clamp design and fold flat and with Folding Pedals and a Magnetic Clip to hold the cycle together while folded the Bike Packs away nicely when required.

The specification of the Dawes Ace is exceptional throughout with SRAM X7 8 Speed Gears controlled via Twistgrip, Avid V-Brakes, and with Finishing Items such as Ergo Grips, Schwable Marathon Puncture Proof Tyres and a SDG Bell RL Saddle there is a real eye to detail which shows through on the finish.

One of the main points in the fact the Dawes Ace is fully finished with the benefit of Full Length Mudguards, Rear Rack with integrated Rear LED Light(Battery Powered), Front Dynamo Driven Light, Side Stand and Even a Floor Pump with removed Valve Guide Hose based in the Seat Post !!

 When ridden the Dawes Ace hits you just how light and manoeuvrable it is and weighing in at 12.9kg it is one of the lightest Folding Bikes in its class making it ideal for the daily commute.

Hope Stainless/Ceramic Bottom Bracket - Review/Buying Guide - www.bikeoutletyork.co.uk

Hope Stainless Bottom Bracket / Hope Ceramic Bottom Bracket

These have been really popular both instore and on the website as a quality replacement Sealed Bottom Bracket unit for both Shimano Hollowtech 2 BB's and Raceface X-Type as well as some FSA Bottom Brackets and with the optional convertor kit the Truvativ GXP Range of external bottom brackets. 

They are available in either a Stainless Bearing Version or the more expensive Ceramic Bearing Version.  The Bottom Bracket will fit both 68 and 73mm Bottom Bracket Shell's with the aid of 3 spacers depending on the Shell Width of your Bottom Bracket, 

We have been using a Stainless version in one of the Shop demo bikes for around 6 months and during the depths of winter and found it to be both durable and a reliable bottom bracket with only 1 routine clean out required with both sealed still running fine. The other major advantage with these Bottom Brackets is that you do not need to remove the whole unit when replacing the bearings - they simply clip in and out making routine servicing easier and therefore prolonging the life of your bottom bracket.

As with all Hope components the machining is second to none with a range of 6 anodized colours. Our only gripe is when running in a Downhill Bike/Dirt Jump Bike with a Chain Device or 73mm Shell the cup insertion length is not really enough, and for customers who are looking for a more suitable Heavy Duty Bottom Bracket with a longer cup insertion we would recommend the Raceface Diabolus Bottom Bracket, For all other uses however these Bottom Brackets make a lot of sense and look trick on any bike.

The Haro Backtrail X5 is the top of the line in the Haro Backtrail BMX range and features a 100% Chromoly X-Series Frameset which is built around a 20.8" Top Tube. The X5 uses a lot of top end finishing kit which both keeps the weight to a minimum but also offers better durability as well as design.

Maxxis Mountain Bike Tyres - 26"

Maxxis Bike Tyres online @ www.bikeoutlet.co.uk

We have large stocks of Maxxis Bike Tyres including the popular Cross Country version of the Maxxis High Roller 26"x2.1 and the Maxxis Crossmark 26"x2.1, These make a fantastic pair of the tyres with the High Roller offering a great hook up and a good rear drive tyre yet the Crossmark matched with it's oversize 2.1 design, minimal rolling resistance and fantastic grip in pretty much all conditions.

In the Downhill Range this time of the year the Maxxis High Roller 26"x.2.5 ST DP is flying off the shelf and we have good stock of these (SuperTacky Dual Ply) as well as the High Roller 26"x2.5 Dual Ply 60a, The difference being that the 60a is made from a harder more durable rubber which offers better wear yet you obviously compromise on some grip. These tyres however are a spares must for all of you planing to the Alps (Morzine) on that riding holiday in 2009 as the price of tyres in the resorts are eye watering matched with the low £ to euro rate at the moment.

We also have some stocks of the Maxxis Ardent 26" in both 2.4 and 2.6 versions, These new tyres from Maxxis have been both popular with customers and team riders with one of our guys running these getting in the top ten at a recent race at Hamerstely.

For the more easy going rider we have a great offer on the Maxxis Wormdrive 26"x1.9. These tyres are one of our most popular selling lines in the store and offering a low rolling resistant tyre while still offering enough grip for most applications. The ramped rolling surface is designed for speed making these tyres a popular choice for people who have a Mountain Bike and want to make it easier to ride or convert it into a Work Bicycle.
