  2. I found vee was okay for everything but gaps, I lost like half a foot of my gapping just because the brake wasnt as snappy as my magura for quick gaps but isupose it could be down to how you gap?
  3. if i have a bike and the weathers on our side ill go for a blackpool/preston docks ride the saturday then come for the sunday if anyones up for that?
  4. myt sound bit silly but are your pads flat onyour new rim?i found that different rims and having the same pads that you need to sand the pads because they wont go perfectly flat on a different rim?
  5. well done! my friend learned it the wrong way, got to a certain height and then thourght about the advantages of learning to do it the right way, he just kept trying it the right way for a few days and didnt do it the wrong way and he got used to it and when he tryed it the wrong way again he found that it felt odd like he did when he firsttry to go the right way if that makes sense? also remember seeing a vid of neil tunnicliffe going the right way once, the way looked 50ish inch
