Yeah, you should be out of hospital and able to use your hands again by then...

Read that as "eating" for some reason...Good on you for having a crack. Most people look at wheel building like cleaning up road kill, so well done.
Free/saves a lot of money, somewhat intimidating and requires concerted effort, may result in internal injuries..

I've been doing my own forks for a while, still don't quite have the guts to do wheels but at least if I screw it up completely I can pay someone to fix it I guess. Would've been a nice Alfred activity if I'd gotten my arse into gear...Read that as "eating" for some reason...

Did you ever feel that another outcome was possible?

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Have you tried them with different pads? The Tektro organic pads are terrible. The sintered pads are very good. Uberbike racematrix are better again.

Oh yeah this too
Even with "BroBike" pads from NZ the Tektros were much improved. Even more so with the uber pads

That's a good idea, the current levers almost pull to the bar even with a proper bleed! Pad wear is still decent too.

Went for a ride up Pipeline today, yoga continues to improve my cornering, weights improving my back and arm strength. Neither felt tired which is a first! My thighs still give up the ghost both climbing and descending though so more climbing coming up!

Not a bad upgrade for around $50
EDIT: Looks like they have come up in price a little to 70 now

Being who he is
The Hallion and his mate have decided MTBs are too much hard work and have both bought dirt bikes so my life is now borrowing or hiring trailers and ferrying them to where they can ride without breaking the law or pissing too many people off. We went to my in-laws property today so I took the hardtail along and rode the boundary fences whilst they cut up the paddocks.
As it's so dry at the moment all of the various creeks that run in and out of the property were crossable (just) and as there are a heap of gates go through I decided to climb over most of them and turned it into a cyclo cross style ride.
It was my first off road ride in about 18 months and my general fitness is pretty low but I made it just and are feeling better for it but knackered.
