    I work full time.

    In the summer I ride 4 times a week, hit the gym 3 days a week and try and do yoga every morning or evening.

    In winter it is more like 2 rides a week and 5 times in the gym.

    I take it youre not a family man and single then ?.

    Lee,I know i’ve spoke to you about the upgrades that I did on mine, i’d do as suggested above, get it bought and then sell them whilst they’re new, as that’s what I did..

    my Raceface BB failed pretty quickley, as them top hats are made of cheese, Orange fitted me a Hope one, I popped it over for them to look at !..remember this isn’t a dear bike,so certain parts are lets say, Budget parts, so start there,bb,h’set,brakes,wheels etc.. 😉

    Use both Uberbike sintered and matrix,on hope & Uberbike discs ,no issues with either !…

    I’d be looking at the conditions in relation to pads etc .. & regularly strip the pads out clean & dry them & the discs,especially this weather .

    I tapped another one !, so its fixed on 2 points as I used the go pro part of the mount off that bracket on ebay in my link, its only £4 kwid, them k edge are £20+ to do the same job, I utilised there bolts too, its m4/5 if I remember, its not a big job or too fiddly either, as the light body is only ally, it makes a very neat compact mount onto the helmet, as the last thing you want is a great big thing sticking up off ure head..
