  1. I asked my friend, his pads were the EBC red, but the wear of them is really fast. I forget to say, i was using Hope saw rotor (no floating), and he had Shimano XT (the old ones)

    The only possible solution... no braking :giggle:

  2. Every summer, I go one week to Vallnord, and with a pair of Hopes M4 (non tech lever, but not the old calipers), with braided hoses and goodridge sintered pads, and perfect, the brakes were always there. A friend also have the Saint brakes with braided hoses (think that he has EBC pads) and the same, always OK, no problem at all.

    Get some second hand Saints they´re cheap, easy to fix and really good brakes, simply put some new mineral oil on them, and perfect!

  3. so won an echo lite from ebay yesterday and picked up this morning,seems all good but rear magura needs bleeding/filling, never done this before and have searched and seen the different methods but just wondered what was the best method in people's options? do I get a service kit for £20 or water bleed for free, any positive or negative points? also can you get the adaptors to the master cylinder separately as I have a syringe and clear tube rec but no adaptor? I'll get some pics in a bit if the weather ever improves???

    Pete.

    I was watching that echo lite on eBay, really nice for the final price. For the maguras, you have a lot of how to bleed tutorials on youtube, and for the grips, i use isoprophilic alcohol to remove them and the same for the refitting.

    For the tutorials, check this YouTube channel. It´s on spanish but doesn´t matter, it´s really instructive:
