    Sounds like you have an air bubble in the system . You need to remove the calliper and tap the cable quite hard a few times when bleeding . Should help .

    🙂 ^^^ I. Just don’t like heli tape lol , guy in the shop argued that shortening cable wouldn’t be the solution . Well if it ain’t we’ll be having a falling out !

    Bikes in the shop getting cables shortened slightly……… they’re already pretty short , just the right length to rest on the crown with a bit if force . Hopefully they’ll get it right .

    I just my tyres before last night’s ride and hadn’t realised how flat they were . 20 psi rear 24 psi up front . So I banged 30 in either end , and went out . Very sketchy in comparison though obviously a bit quicker . Gonna come down 5 psi I reckon for a happy medium .

    Clear he’ll tape is awful in my opinion . Also where the cable has rubbed the powder coat off you can see the alloy . I just wanted something to cover it up that was all .

    Turn up with a bastard on . I hate phone calls and have threatened to drive to premises in the past when I had a problem . Sometimes people need some intimidation .

    Helicopter tapes a bit of an eye sore , would like something black ideally . Also everything’s running smooth so i don’t wanna be shortening cables an re routing . Didn’t know if there was a neoprene cover or similar about .

    40 psi is proper hard and I’d have thought you’d lose traction on corners . I used to like high psi but for what it’s worth its also nice to have a little comfort , and small bump absorption . I won’t be going back up to high psi anytime soon .

    Well I opted for the madison flux . Initially on visuals I was not sure . Almost identical in size and shape to my cannondale saddle . Wasn’t sold by the pressed thumb test either lol , that said did 9 fire road miles tonight and it actually wasn’t too bad . Well worth 16.99 off the ‘bay.

    This was my issue , a few years back when I was washing my bike my pads kept failing . Which is why I cover them with a plastic bag or something now . My bike was quite expensive for me so yes I do look after it , and for the record (I’m struggling posting pics) it lives hung up in my living room . A.for as the tics and B. Because I don’t have tonnes of space .

    I’m curious as to.what the difference is with a Japanese version ? Surely the time is exactly the same if a little mis placed ?

    When you go out and come back and the muds filled the gap between the forks and the tyre it needs washing . I do ride my bike and don’t just look at it thankyou . Sonny .

    I wear Cool Corporation flip flops which are the most comfy thing I’ve ever worn . Downside is though they are “oversized” for sand wear and are almost SIX INCHES wide . I can press two pedals at once in the car so a definately no no .

    My friend has a dump valve app on his phone and if you jerk suddenly it it gives a loud PISH , ridiculous but so much fun for 2 middle aged men . Saves us making the noise everyone we pass someone lol

    Ffs don’t use a stripper , it forces steam into hairline cracks and blows the plaster . (If walls are plastered) score the paper with a sharp blade then soak with warm soapy water .Lots of . You use soapy water as it sticks , and doesn’t run down the wall so fast ! Careful round the sockets……

    If its niggling you that much it’s gotta go . I wanted a bike beyond my capabilities , but luckily I wasn’t flush enough at the time to make am expensive mistake . I wanted a fs cannondale but ended up getting a cannondale trail . Couple extra xt bits on it and she’s perfect .
