Ah well 35quid lighter
One 7ft real tree purchased
Smells reet festive

Wholy fect did I just type all that tis nearly a book 😳
Totals
64 for lever n caliper
29.99 for hose kit
9 quid for fluid n bleed resvoir
Was it such a bargain mmmm

Still need to do rear brake…
Dilemma. ..lol

Well what a load of faffing about..
Slx lever fitted
Knob couldn’t make hose (hungover)
Ended up with hel MTB hose kit 2mtrs hose and far too many fittings
Balls to work with would buy superstar or jag wire instead
might still
Had to buy bleed kit and mineral oil another 9 quid
Couldn’t get syringe only 5ml from chemist couldn’t be added going to the vets

Faffed about trying to cut hose with various blunt garden clippers etc before I found the cutters that I had left at my arise
On with the faffing about hose on
Spare lump of hose (fish tank pump hose)
Onto nipple looped up over bars and back down into mineral oil bottle
Filled bleed resvoir opened nipple
Coffee sandwich and 2 buns later
Not a bubble in sight
Bucked the pads in threw the split pin in the bin
Old giant pad bolt in place
Pump lever holly Toledo lever solid
Hands washed quick test drive down hill

Enough power to lift back wheel at any speed with one finger
And no brake squeel thank **** for that
Ready for descent run tommorow morn
see how we go off road

Jonnyvegas you must have some legs
onya if you pedal that up hill

ERM mine arrived as well
Roll on sat for hoses and bleeding fun

Shimano quotes one way bleeding on servowave levers
Would that be down the way or caliper up

PS slx levers a right nice job regardless of price
How does this I spec lever work

Ordered Monday delivered sat left at post office locked in until Monday then late for work
Stay less than 30 miles from them

This easter to order from Germany
Winstanleys also done a good job with price ,communication and delivery ,honourable job

Going to try another local to me shop(mcconveys) and see how there online service fares out

Mmm right load of different styles there
I’m trying to copy Fabien barel
Plenty of stuff on you tube
Keep running out of extension lead and talent ..lol

Got email my stuffs been dispatched
Wished I ordered 2 calipers now

Rember something about the longer banjo for heat transfer

****
Where did I sit ours when I couldn’t find a tack
Last year was the first year we didn’t bother

Was funny last weekend when we both grabbed for the same one in the supermarket

Roll on Santa

Tesco had the 250 lumens 6w dimmable LEDs for tenner
Some light off them
Nicer light than the 50w they replaced

doent or you will turn it into a paperweight
Take it to a pro
Turn it on and off via computer
There normally 5volts pulse width modulated so 12volts DC will toast it

Egr probs are normally the valve choked up with carbon leaving the valve unable to shut resulting in pisspoor running and heaps of smoke
You can buy cans of egr valve cleaner or strip and bath in petrol or leave coated in Mr muscle oven cleaner overnight

jkomo Send me a email and you can have my 50mm f1.8

Too long on a 350d
Try a 35mm f2 slightly dearer but nicer length on a cropper

Just curious what has a m16 LHD thread

Looks like there’s nothing stopping you putting a zee lid on a slx body and possibly having tooless reach adjustment and what ever length lever you prefer
Makes you wonder if they gained the better modulation just using the bigger hose

More salt

Carbonfibre
Realy isnt any more than cloth and glue

Matt not sure what combo off brake your fitting
As the later servo wave levers are designed for the newer big bore hose

Shimanos pdf shows the sizes
As for hose
Im swaying towards goodridge dash ~3 (3.5mm) carboflex with black ends
As for the fittings the knob around the corner will fit them save me ordering the wrong type

There for one
here ffs lol

Erm yip price seems to go up when u click into it further

Wonder if they will honour earlier orders

Bike discount we list zee caliper ,lever,hose etc
Less than 100 quid probably better than the way I’m going but i’ll have a higher tech brake hose than the 3 core shimano

Does any one sell ,balls,or man the **** up tablets

Smaller cylinder works for me
Better hydraulic ratio more power offset by having to pull lever slightly harder

Whether it modulates the same remains to be seen

Might be the proverbial stick through the wheels

ERM hope hose ain’t a scud
Was going to get the knob around the corner to does some lines using that hel hose that the bsb boys use just to be trick

Seeing loads of peeps sending shimano back to them German sites
TBC
Pizza delivered

slx lever and zee caliper ordered
65 quid delivered
not in stock
ordered anyways
In no rush but starts the clock

Cat evicted at 3am and after a couple of hours meowing at the back door ain’t seen it since

Pity
Never got to see if cats are really
scared of sellotape

Coughs mike smith
Just say what you mean doent hold back 😀

Me i bought a 500 quid giant talon
Whether it cost 300 I doent care
I liked the man that sold it to me deal done
What’s it worth ? Who cares it makes me feel like a kid when I’m out on it .the cost priceless

Ow balls
Its running in its sleep..**** my jaws sore from laffing
Hell how am I going to evict this sodding thing now
Coldest note of the year so far

Her that must be obeyed says kick that cat out before you go to bed
Looks like I’m on the sofa

The accused

Think its broken it hasn’t moved for hours

Crawls up into chair

80quid a month ffs
Is that normal or would you be a buisness user

Jeez smiled then when I seen the hammer pity its a girlie one why the claw u going to nail some bits on

Pizza arrived
Keep at it

Pity the festool is over budget ts55ebq can be had for less than 300
Tis a joy to use the track system makes life so easy

Not sure how well the cheap track systems compare

On the other hand the cheep McAlister saw from bnq does rightly for next to noo money

Oh stop it .ffs
Nearly spilled my nescaffe

Nesspresso equals thimble full of coffee

If it ain’t in a mug I’m out ..

ERM its just

Borderline
Meg Ryan over the line

halfords

Mazda 6

Erm in retrospect i would have been better thinking my last statement slegging dafyddavis
Doent realy know the design brief of some places

Theyre just probably designed more for walkers but having swing gates 3 sets on a climb aint much fun when your learning clipless never mind gormless walkers and my pet hate extending dog leashes which is fine on a tow path but in a place that advertises 17km of mtb trails
Not for me doent mind paying to ride a trail but when there ……delete delete

For me im discovering my doorstep ,well a scot now discovering northern ireland
Leadmines /helens tower ,belvoir park and loving it .
When my skills/fitness progress its the belfast hills and the mournes for me

As for waderider no offence intended , and if your around at xmas give us a shout

The Somme heritage centres cafe would do a roaring trade if they would make there minds up what hours it opens

Finished my lap at the fatcat.full fry.bliss
Crap coffee though.

Might do a lap in the morning
PS
Cairn wood is linked to Helens tower
Just a bit crappy

Will be a right bundle off laffs if its designed by dafydd Davis
Made a right bells of castle ward
