Are they plastic? If they have loads of ridge type things you can trim them slightly sometimes, I've had to do that a few times, the ritchey plastic ones were a real sod to get in!

Bike look much nicer when they're cleaner. What gearset are you running? Deore?

How tall are you man?
Because that frame is seriously small, 14"? :shock:

Although if you're not doing any XC then you don't need to answer the first question.

funny you should mention that.......

im 5ft 10 and i bought the frame (yep 14") with the intention of riding freeride, jumps, dh etc... but have found myself doin more xc than anything else so i think i may be changing for a bigger frame very soon!!

Is it still up for grabs, if so how much?
