Personally would always use a water bleed (with anti freeze) in a hydro rim brake, but can't be seen to recommend it 'professionally'.

Done it, works fine, nothing wrong with anti-freeze/water though and it's a lot less effort.

Sweet - if it's brand new, it won't have the QR inserts; if it's used, it might!

U shudv usd spel chek m8!! (I am fully aware it wouldn't have picked that up - irony).

Good point about the last lap thing Dave... I'm still unsure whether it's the car or the driver, he hasn't really had chance to prove himself this year IMO, because of never really having to pass anyone.

Ditto - that would be awesome. I think for a single lap the order of the drivers would be different to a stint - Hamilton can drive a car to the ragged edge, but Button is kinder to the tyres over 10-15 laps, if you get me. Think Vettel must be fairly quick too as he generally ends up a fair bit ahead of Webber, but hard to say given the car he's in...

Unless it's already got the HD axle and QR inserts, in which case it's just a pair of bolts... Hence my first question A photo would confirm!

Cos they were so flexy I reckon!

Which hub and what spec is it now?

Sorry, I meant different in terms of texture. IIRC, the Plaz stuff was: https://www.google.com/search?q=flame+sprayed+plasma+coating&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/rigida-grizzly-26-%28559%29-mtb-css-rim-black-32-hole-prod14245/ That's like Mavic Ceramic coating, quite a bit different.

It felt a bit like 60-80 grit sandpaper...

Better

Yeah, at $450, I would expect at least £350.

Well.

Not sure which brand that one is, but the ones we have are V!Z.

Yeah, they are pretty close, but have a couple of seals around the bearings. We have some in stock and Stan's got one on his bike to make sure it's all A-OK before they go on the site.

It does if you've completely ruined the shape, yeah I assumed you had just shaved a tiny bit (like 0.05mm from the diameter) off.

Internal is often called semi-integrated. The reason we use 'internal' as there is also 'integrated', and that's too close to semi-integrated and causes confusion! Check wikipedia for more info. The angle doesn't matter with an internal headset (as the cups will match the bearings), only for integral.

The piston isn't responsible for the sealing, its the, er, seal that does that!

Mark isn't 'wrong' - I am looking at the two frames he is speaking about right now. There genuinely are 2 slightly different models being produced now, as said above.

I haven't either. Over tightening, incorrect fitting, wonky head tube.
