Are you using a zero degree stem at the moment?

Thought it was top pull as cable comes down the seat tube , how do you tell it’s a top swing ? Are they the ones with the clamp higher up as opposed to inline.

Get it done in the original colours .

Is that what your using ?

Try a 70 or 80 depending on your riding style with a bit more rise than what you’ve got now, that will keep the front down , you could even try a riser bar to give a more head up position.

Hi I broke my ankle in two places a few years ago, they removed my plaster after four weeks to allow me to go on a pre booked holiday, while away I did as much swimming as possible and it really helped, after 7-8 weeks I tried riding with flats four a few weeks then went back to spds and found it ok, if your still getting pain I’d give it a few more weeks to be on the safe side and see how it goes.

I’d report it to the police , he had no legal right to take the licence he’s just a door man

Hi danger mouse no pics sorry, I noticed the crack myself after I looked over the system when it failed to bleed.

Hi, I had this trouble on my tech x2 it turned out to be a hairline crack on the caliper near the bleed nipple, contacted hope and they sent me a new one foc, brilliant customer support. Check for any cracks or loose fittings.

Hi guys, already checked the cytech site but I can’t afford those course costs,thanks anyway.
