mineral oil is the official substance meant for it,there are a few offering about from shimano to monty and each feels different so experiamentation can be done.i've also heard of cooking oil being used but meh to that. water is also used alot as it give a very light feel to the lever and is inexpensive to use,but. . . it voids warenty, occasionally it damages seals in the brake wich isnt good and it requires antifreeze during winter to stop your brakes from icing up .

very true owen ,shame i won't be around to save your ass this time ,im on holiday to wales for a bit of natural riding

i haven't been bothered by hooded thugs yets,but occassionally a old granny gives us grief but thats it.you should be fine lol

just wondering why people are moaning about the price ,werent pitbull frames £399 several years ago?

true,looks tidy as it is now,how you finding her to ride?

get up a few pics mate in bike pictures thread

i think mines a avid sd7 ,and i use it with a tesco cable and its a bit nice if im honest and cheap too

can i advise not to drill throught the tree branches as this could potential cause it to die back and fall apart,your be better of tieing stuff to the tree with the widest rope possible. and oww yeah,watch out for tree badgers ,a bloke at work lost a finger to one last month

i have retrieved my riding companion from retirement and he's coming along too,and if people think im a basher then you should see this guy lol. by the way ,i may join the ride at half eleven as i got to get a stupid train instead. steve

i dunno what i was expecting but i wasn't expecting them to look how they do ,im currently undecided on my view of the look of them,any chance of other pictures of these forks on different bike? cheers,steve

in reply to your text last night i cant come along,im working mate.have a good ride anyways

hmmm,the rotor should be ok as your on a mod,is everything nice and clean?possible contamination?

it can take a couple of months for the brake to work well,what size rotor does yours have buddy?

reds and cousts on grinds with cnc backings are very good,and red on a smooth rim are good too.

11am on Saturday the 16th,meet at the new street gap.please say if you dont know where abouts it is . cheers,steve

i agree with the short stem theory thing,i reccomend a hope dh 50mm/25degrees its lovely

there really strong but there really heavy,if weight isnt a issue then go for the

have you ever sat on your tire mate whilst riding along?

i looks good in matt black,smart as fook its your frame now buddy,so no worries about changing the paint x

like i said,you may be on a mans bike now but your not a man till you dip your sword in blood mate

trials is a winner,apparently trials riders have goo fingers or something
