Hey Brian HCM#1....
- Thread starter N8 v2.0
- Start date
Are those Grab-On grips?
Brian HCM#1 said:
they are a new, ultra expensive grip named the 'dirt roadie'... :devil:
Hopes are overrated.
Actually, not only is Brian a dealer of them, he's also damn good at bleedin the stupid things too. I can never get mine perfect, everytime he's bled it for me, I always ride away happy. Btw, I'll be needin some EBC's soon!

3 things about your bike
1. I would have done a Rasta or rootbeer theme with all those anodized parts.
2. Hope rotor bolts suck donkey, replace them with Hayes or Magura botls before one breaks off in your fancy pants I-9 hubs
3. Bontrager parts, really?
Otherwise very nice, but you now must buy a Wipperman chain, and a Ti cog to complete it.

couldn t agree more...maxyedor said:
Why would you be concerned? The steel bolts are only grade 8.8 anyway which has the same shear strength as normal titanium fasteners. Add to the fact that the post mount to IS adapter bolts are acting only in tension, not shear.Nobody said:
It's not like I suggested aluminum bolts like we do for the pros, which by the way work fine as well. I just wouldn't recommend them to your average rider.
I have never had problems with Hope bolts, just grease each bolt and you'll never have a problem with them.maxyedor said:
That's cause I'm the best ever!!!!!DLo said:
N8, post a pic of the entire bike, god dammit.
I want to see a full pic with the new parts installed.
Snap to it, N8.
Snap to it, N8.
Let this be an important message to all...................
BUY HOPE
BUY HOPE

You're just jealous.Tame Ape said:
dude, you're hyping a product that you're personally selling, thats SPAM. Ethically speaking its immoral. It was fine when I thought you where an enthusiast, but you're not, you're a dealer. You are using the forum in a way that benefits you on a monetary level.Brian HCM#1 said:
You don't see me hyping Laek House on the forums past the link in my sig.

OMFG... Monkey down... Monkey DOWN!!!!!! Someone call a WAAAAAAbulance!!!!

That doesn't count as Unethical or Immoral. This community was based largely on co-support. You may not have been here in the early days, but that's where it started.
Both Ethics and Morality are defined by the community. Since Brian's been doing this for several years, the Community has decided that it is with it's accepted boundaries of behavior.
When I get my cookbook finalized and ready to sell, and one or two Monkeys take pity on me and buy it, do I have to delete all my posts on how to flip a friggin' omelet? Do I undo about 400 hours of helping people make better food choices?
Nope.
Sorry, just felt like being a nit-picker today.
I'm off for some care-free toy shopping.
:love:
well, from N8's thread it was obvious that a bunch of people didn't even know brian sold Hopes. and it's like he's either putting ads in the Buy/Sell forum, or after posting some technical info on setup, specs, etc , that he's also sticking in a sentence saying 'BUY THEM FROM ME'.
fact is, there are a lot of industry-connected people who post here, and talk about products they are involved with. this isn't the same as spam.

Dude, no sh!t?? Put me down for one!Nobody said:
that was a typo on my part...should have read that he's NOT saying 'buy from me'. all he has is 'BUY HOPES'. so he's a homer, big deal. plenty of them around these parts.Nobody said:
not to mention Brian is very very understated in his 'advertising' since a lot of us did even have a clue about it....Nobody said:
Oh yeah, Brian needs some serious help in promoting his services.N8 said:not to mention Brian is very very understated in his 'advertising' since a lot of us did even have a clue about it....
Hell, a blind, arthritic chicken with a broken crayon could do a better job.

Okay, from now on guys, you are not allowed to have any opinions on any products you are affiliated with.
That means that all the various shop people or bike manufacturer affiliates on here are no longer allowed to review, discuss, or have any thoughts whatsoever on bike parts that are either stocked in their shop or available through their suppliers.
Got that everyone? New policy. Offenders will receive one warning and then be banned.

You are being far too lenient.binary visions said:
1) NO WARNINGS
2) STEALTH BANNING is Just the Beginning.
3) Within 24 hrs a MOD will come to your home and key the shyt out of your car/truck/van/SUV.
4) Within 48 hrs a MOD/Hacker will have all your credit cards reported stolen.
5) By the end of the week, all your pets will have disappeared and if you have any children, they will suddenly be listening to Emo on their 'free' iPod Shuffles and suffer bed-wetting trauma because of it.
6) Plus, a very sarcastic 'ninja-monkey' will come around on Tuesday to slap you around for a good five minutes.
That's interesting. Did you receive a draft copy of the new policy from the head monkey? I haven't seen it yet, but the new business cards he issued to me say:Nobody said:

Hey Nutlick, I also sell Chris King, Hayes, Avid, Magura, Shamano, Mavic, e 13 as well as many, many other products. I happen to love Hope products. i'm not trying to spam anyone. Read my sig my friend. It has just been a comment I've used for years, it has nothing to do with me selling the stuff.Tame Ape said:
