  1. Very enjoyable to watch which is surprising for a head cam video. I loved how it flowed, you really got the sense he was just riding round the city having fun. did some great lines. Kinda surprised that he didn't get fined for weaving in and out of people on the pavement like that, but maybe they'r less strict on that sort of thing there. 

  2. yeah Sounds like it's cross threaded can normally tell be able to tell just by looking at it or with a new frame paint gets over sprayed on to the threads.

    Sometimes you can save it if you find where the thread is supposed to start and carefully screw in a steel cup, that's if it's not too buggered, or if it's over spray just brute force and a greased steel cup. A good shop might have the proper taps and could chase the thread and sort it out for you.

  3. A guy approached me and asked me about my bike and why it had pink wheels, I explained that it was second hand that the colour was of no consequence to me.

    After we had talked for a while, he then left me with the line "you've got the bright wheels, now all you need is the light of Jesus Christ in your life" it was like some kind of bizarre pick up line. 0_o

  4. I would not recommend that anyone buy this brake, it isn't easily to fit, serviceable or at all durable.

    Right from the get go this brake started leaking fluid on me because the joints were not tightened up enough, then I ended up rounding off the pathetic plastic bleed screw and a few rides later the plastic bar clamp snapped during a move. All this was bad enough but to top it all off, the lever snapped as I was back wheeling something.

    The lever seems to have been made of very thin cast aluminium, rather then a forged or cnc lever which would be stronger and might have bent a bit before snapping. With all these plastic components and a cast lever I can't help but think Magura have tried to save money in production at the cost of a much less durable brake.

    I'm perhaps not the smoothest rider but from my experience of riding I'v never had a echo or hope lever just snap on me whilst I was back wheeling something. It's not like I crashed it badly at which point the lever snapped, I would have excepted this as my own fault. If like me can you cannot honestly say that they never fall off don't expect this brake to last very long.
