Grass needs cuttingDo you live in an office?

Nice bike BTW!..

Cheers 🙂

Always so gray/dark outside, so used an empty office room, courtesy of someone I know, to take some pictures. I don’t work in an office BTW, let alone live in one :O

Nice bike, really well done pic’s

Nice bike just bought one , why did u change the brakes ? Just wondering !

Cheers, The levers felt flimsy and rubbish, lack of power too, then I flew over the bars and broke the right hand lever so that was the reason I replaced the whole set (could have fixed it but didn’t because of reasons above)

Wen’t for Avids since I love their lever feel, and you can’t take Shimano brakes apart and get spare seals for a good service. Should have got Hopes really 😛

Headset on them isn’t great, make sure you take it apart and put plenty of greased into those caged bearings. My headset rusted and died after a month.

I would recommend a full take apart grease, that’s what I am doing on mine ATM just got the front hub to go. 🙂

Interesting info there , been out 3. Times but whenever in mud brakes start juddering thru lever like a warped rotor , take it home clean them and there fine again ! Had a core 10 before done same routes but had no trouble with that !
Will c if I can sus out how to grease headset cheers !

I remember a pulsing sensation in the levers with a “ffrrrr” sound in the wet from my brakes 😕 They were on for about a week. Maybe pick up some XT’s general consensus is that they are nicer than my elixir 5s and you won’t need rotors or centrelock adapters like I did.
