Pointless pics thread, although they have just been washed so guess that good enough reason.

Comments welcome providing they're about the bikes ๐Ÿ˜†

trim those front brake cables.. you could easy hook them on something like a cow or a person ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜‰

seriously though the lobsters one needs a trim

Not tried it yet, bottle only just turned up this morning. Will post my findings soon. I should be pretty well placed to give it a good test as nearly all my riding is on the Yorkshire moors which are famous for their sandy gritty mud stuff.

Finish line green was struggling to manage one ride.

Point taken on the RL brake hose, not sure I can bring myself to have to bleed them up again though....

i've found the best way is to pump the pads out leaving something in between to allow me to open them again later.
remove the hose and cut it to length.
reconnect it and then push the pads back out, i find this blows the air out the hose and thought the lever. saves having to rebleed the lever.
