My 456 came with brakes that needed bled and had conaminated pads. My LBS fixed it and On One picked up the bill. Brakes are now working OK but I’m going to try bleeding them myself again soon.

Anyone got any idea?

So following this guide

what part do I leave over night?

I should be up for this one. Will double check I’m not double booking myself with her indoors. 😀

6’3 and 15 1/2 stone here.

OK about to go for the top one. Can anyone recommend the best cheap rear light?

I recon I’ll have to toss a coing. Its only around a tenner more for the new one with the better battery, but I like the UK plug on the other one and the advice about the better Cree emitter.

why, do you prefer the looks or is it better technology?

andrew’s liver salts.

my mate Morton wouldn’t even dlive that.

Nice one, I’ll give this a try soon.

I think I’m up north on the 17th for a wedding. I’m going to try and visit the Golspie Wildcat trails while i’m up there. I’m definitely up for one of your runs soon though for sure.

If you’ve no bike licence get a caterham.

I recon I’ll be up for the shorter loop from longniddrie. If i’m too slow I’ll meet you at the bothy. 😀

I’ll check my rota at work.

my mate uses something similar to this

It seems to work quite well.

have a look at this on my blog http://yodagoat.blogspot.com/2010/09/1919-douglas.html
Not a custom but cool all the same.

I’ve always fancied making a chopper/bobber hardtail with a KH500 engine. Or a flat tracker thingy.

Still not quite fit enough for a 30 miler yet, getting there though!

Cheers. I’ll do just that. Quite looking forward to my first night outing in the woods.

good campsite with wigwams here

Those are some sweet bikes.

anagallis_arvensis – The Virsic road starts in Italy and enters Slovenia to follow the river Soca. To do the whole thing you need to hit italy. My old man nearly got shot when he forgot to stop at the italian border!!! 😀

8 ball is pretty good.

You're probably better off burning wood. If you find the right tree surgeon you'll get wood (chortle) pretty cheap. My mate burns smokeless in his fire and finds it quite expensive.

Aye, you should get one. They're gid fun. Here's some pics of my two current bikes and some of my mates.

is there a way to take one of the pics on my blog and post them here? you can click on the piccys and get them larger on their own.

They look pretty good. I take it these mount on to the bar?

Thats the brakes been bled and fixed by the very helpful folk at MacDonald cycles in Edinburgh. Both front and rear pads had got contaminated, so with new ones in and the front bled the performance is night loads better! There's still quite alot of lever travel on the front, but with a big squeeze I can lock both wheels or stoppie and hop quite easily.
i'm still tempted to upgrade to the SLX brakes though, maybe in the future.

I'll let the LBS look at it before I send it back. Hopefully all will be well after they are bled. If I need new pads the suppliers will pay for them.
Cheers for the quick response guys, I won't be buying new brakes quite yet!
