3", you say. I think you measure spanners like you weigh your bikes....lets just round that down to the nearest 10.... :first:

All done, so easy if you have the bleed kit, they have them on sale at pushys.

Thanks for the tip!

Taking it up to Lystie this arvo with a mate to bed in the brakes.

I went looking for spare parts after accidentally permanently removing the preload adjuster on my rockshox earlier.

Damn you sales!

 

[vistamooky]

[Knuckles]

bought the old girl (2005 giant reign ii) some new shoes after 6 months of bald tyres. had a few recommendations on the tyre selection. ardent on the front, crossmark at the rear. anyones experiences running these ones would be good to hear!

There's a mega tyre thread. Use search, I can't be arsed :thumb:

 

[vistamooky]

Damn you sales!

theyre just too good! cheeky bastards haha

 

[rone]

De-hibernated the 5.Spot, fitted K9 Static 780 bars and went riding. they're a bit flat compared to the Renthals, didn't think i'd like them. I was wrong. Thanks Nerf!

 

[Dales Cannon]

Not bad at all.

 

[Ezkaton]

Swapped out my first tubeless tyre.

Not as messy as I was expecting it to be (thankfully).

 

[Haakon]

Muddy and cold, so took the roadie out. Went up the new Majura Parkway which hasnt been opened yet - had a whole freeway all to my lonesome :heh: Just a bugger I copped fucking headwinds in both directions! Fuck you Murphey....

Also cooked the rear rotor coming down Mt Majura - it has a lovely colour scheme now!! Think I might put the 160 rotor back on the back - 140 with mechs is a bit underdone and overheats a bit fast...

Last 25 minutes in the rain and 7 degrees - couldn't feel my hands when I got home.

 

[Knuckles]

Muddy, windy, cold and wet. So took the roadie out over the west gate bridge. Got blown into the path of a B double.......pissed down the whole 50km, sun came out 500m from the finish line.

 

[Haakon]

Jesus - are you even allowed to ride over the west gate?

I've decided I prefer freeways with no one on them....

 

[camoshop]

Bled the Xt brakes on the Cotic,
Here's some pics of the steps I did for anyone that hasn't done it before, when I'm at the computer I'll fill in the steps.

It's pretty straight forward. Just bled from the caliper end then pumped it a bit untill all air bubble surfaced.

Yesterday's ride on the anthem after the same bleed technique worked great.
