I contaminated the resin pads on the XT brakes so replaced them with metal pads. I learnt the hard way that do not clean these brakes with anything except water.
The guy at the shop said it will take a while to run in but being in hilly Helensburgh and being the fat bastard that I am it only...

We had a 3kw system installed in Feb this year and yes it wasnt the cheapest by far from the few quotes we got but they used aluminium/stainless steel mounting hardware for the panels, did excellent work on cable management around the panels/inverter and supplied an Xantrex inverter mounted in...

Black large frame with blue/green specks in paint. 18 speed I think.
Sold that for my first front suspension which was simply called a YAK, 21 speed and was...
