Only negative I can think of is that I am sure this guy yells "siskiu" at the start of the clip.Any negatives or red flags on this bike?

I am considering selling my old reign and buying one of these....spec seems good, price seems good, am I missing something important?
Thanks guys and girls.
Hahaha, how is it even possible that you picked up on that? Atleast I know how to pronounce Siskiu now.Only negative I can think of is that I am sure this guy yells "siskiu" at the start of the clip.

Clearly it is a common word with the circles I roll in...Hahaha, how is it even possible that you picked up on that? Atleast I know how to pronounce Siskiu now.
Great spec for the price, buy it and let everyone know how good the frame is.Any negatives or red flags on this bike?

Yeah I guess the only thing concerning me was frame, however reviews of older models seems good, and 5 year warranty too. Cheers.Great spec for the price, buy it and let everyone know how good the frame is.
If they picked state rail staff they would be plenty fat...you are likely mistaken.Some police got on the train to check tickets, seems to alot of them doing this since opal was introduced in Sydney.
While one officer was booking a young girl for not having a ticket is struck me that these officers from the transit command are not your usual police officer.
They wear the same uniform, carry guns and hand cuffs etc but there is something different about them.
They are small and skinny and don't have them same presence as the majority of police I've ever come across.
Did they simply grab a bunch of cityrail transit officers and ticket sellers and turn them into transit police?
Can they do other police work or they are just assigned to the transit command pending further training and workouts in the gym??
Sorry for the necropost stirk, but did you end up getting these aftermarket pads and if so, how did they go? Reason I ask is that I'm looking for new pads for the Guide R brakes on the Trance and see that your Noah & Theo pals do Guide pads too. I jumped on my hardtail for a ride yesterday for the first time in a while and was surprised at the difference in performance of the Shimano BR445/446 brakes on that bike - a lot better stopping power than the Guides with the standard resin pads. It doesn't make sense to me though, I would have though the 4-pot Guide calipers would have performed much better. Should I be looking at pads (ie. new resin pads, non resin or aftermarket), or is it the entry level Guide 'R' levers that are ordinary?I will need to replace my rear brake pads soon. They are Shimano callipers, BR446 model with resin pads.
Anyone used Noah and Theo sintered pads to replace the OEM Shimano resin pads with good results, i.e. more power, less wear, no ducks?
I'll need to double check the rotors are compatible with sintered pads but assuming they are it would be good to know of other better options for replacement pads. Perhaps sticking with Shimano resin pads is best....

Have you bled your guides.... thrown them away and bought shimano yet??? :behindsofa:Sorry for the necropost stirk, but did you end up getting these aftermarket pads and if so, how did they go?

I should clarify too that the stock Trance runs 170/160 centerline rotors, and the HT has 180/160 RT56 Shimano discs. I was thinking of putting a 200mm rotor up front on the Trance and moving the 170 to the rear (or spend more and go 180 rear) to improve stopping power as it's always felt underwhelming when I'm pointed downward on a trail.
Is that too many quick questions in one post?
I upgraded to XT with sintered pads, the stopping power over the 446 is incredible.Sorry for the necropost stirk, but did you end up getting these aftermarket pads and if so, how did they go?

I'm pretty sure the x12 is for 142x12.might be getting some wheels with hope pro 2 EVO hubs. The rear is currently 10sp. I can buy the freebody with XD driver, but there are 3 options.
1) Gold 12mm spacer
2) Gold QR Spacer
3) Gold X12 Spacer
I need this hub to fit a V1 Santa Cruz bronson, 12x142 rear. I know it's not option 2, and assume it's option 3, but want to double check with you smart bastards
Noob answer. I bought a cheap reverb with a busted hose for my boy. Can't confidently comment on the hose, but the barb has proven hard to get. There seem to be a couple of different ones, and the distro keep sending my LBS the wrong one. :noidea:Do Reverbs need a specific housing or does it use standard hydraulic brake hose?
Edit: and thanks for the above answer, I've ordered the X12
