Ripe 'n ready!
They're called 'Hope grip doctors' designed to stop grips from sliding off and stops mud, dirt and shit from getting in your bars, they're basically overbuilt bar end plugs.
I'd be lying if I said that I bought it purely for functional reasons. I've always wanted that particular Hope product since I first saw it but could never justify the price. However, since I'd building my dream bike I thought I'd get the parts that I've always wanted, even though they provide more self-fulfillment than functional benefit.

looks hot man, can't wait to see it all together. You might need to swap out the frame for an M9 soon though

Soon Soon, just gotta wait for this god damned rotor to arrive from the UK. I have a rear brake fully functional but am waiting for the front fkn rotor.
Cheers mate
I didn't weight them before I put in the stans sealant and tyre on and I CBF taking it all off. I do know though that they are heavier than the deemax' that's for sure.I'm thinking of building up the same wheelset when my dee-maxs end up giving up on life, so if you don't mind would you be able to get a weight on em? If you could, that'd be great
Hahahaha stop it! The m6 will do me just fine for the moment. Actually to be honest, a Norco sasquatch is where my riding ability is at bahahalooks hot man, can't wait to see it all together. You might need to swap out the frame for an M9 soon though
I know eh, I'll be talking to my LBS soon about getting some on layby. It maybe a month + before I'll actually have them on the bike. My old 40's will have to do till then (not that there is any real problem with them)

Yeahk, that's cool.
They're probs heavier than the new ones, but my old ones weigh 2.4 for the pair I think...
From adding everything up, I think these come in at 2.2 for the pair, so a little heavier than the current ones, but only by a tiny bit.
Just was interested in a real weight cos you never know til you have em, but I understand, I hate changing tyres so much, especially tubeless

I thought about getting the lowers replaced but a shop said they were about $650.
As for the newer Kashima coated forks, I'd love to see what all the rave is about on the new coating. And plus they're pretty affordable at www.mymountain.com.au
I wouldn't mind if they were just normal tubes and tyres but they're tubeless and I had my LBS set it up for me as I don't have a high pressure pump. They're definitely nice wheels though and CRC do a great buildYeahk, that's cool.

UPDATE UPDATE:
The bike is complete and is currently sitting in my living room with plenty of jizzed kleenex tissues surrounding it. However, no camera hahahaha I'll get some up this weekend but the general consensus is that it looks good, however, needs intense stickers.
On another note a deposit has been made on 2011 Fox 40's. Should be paid off in about a month w00t w00t.... Question is... white or black?
