After having a go on my mate's new fangled ATB (Mustang) with loads of gears back in 1987/8 I had to have one and remember lusting after the green/white Blizzard in Halfords window. Luckily, by the time I'd saved up and convinced my parents to help out I'd moved on to an 89 Saracen Tufftrax from...

Push the pads out with the brake reservoir open should sort it? Make sure you clean up the fluid that leaks!

Thanks for that, updated. 👍

Can't remember how I did it but seem to remember even a very stuck one being reasonably easy? Think mine need looking at again tbh.

Just another option isn't it? I had a gravel bike for a while and it was decent for bridal ways and light off road but didn't give up much on road compared to a racer. Decided drop bars and roads aren't for me though so swapped it for an XC MTB.

I don't have one spare but from memory the E4's are pretty easy to self service? I've certainly freed up mine in the past with a little help from Google.

The Dynamo and D2 were aluminium road bikes bitd. There was a Car-bo carbon road bike 12 or so years ago too. The RX9 and X9 are aluminium gravel bikes so heavier but can handle off road riding.

Not seen those cable stops on a Saracen?

Very nice is that. If only it was bigger.

They still sell the RX9.

Unfortunately they were great parts donors bitd and still are now. Won't be many of the XT equipped bikes left complete which is a shame as plenty of mint examples have popped up over the years. Maybe only second to the DX or XT Al Carters for stripping and flipping?

Blue and purple are my favourite Hope colours, I have them on my Stage and Spur. Reckon I'd go blue on the O but either would work imo.

If you stay on here then the Orange collectors will no doubt offer you stuff in time. We like selling to each other!

Bikes I actually ride/rode? Saracen Tufftrax and Orange Clockwork bitd. As an adult Orange Evo4, Orange 5 x2, 5 29, Segment, Stage 5, RX9, 2007 Clockwork x3 and a P7. Other brands GT XCR, Cube road and mtb, Ragley Trig, Marin Four Corners, On One Whippet and a Transition Spur. Retro wise...

Very good.

Time and patience mate. The orange/white I got off eBay probably 10 years ago, the yellow/white was offered to me on here maybe 5 years ago and a nice bloke called Graham ( ;)) sold me the orange one recently. Plenty of very nice Orange's have been through multiple hands on here. Plans...
