I think I started it at 12am or something? But that's way too early... then someone changed it to 2am, which I couldn't keep up with back in my employed/college days...
Me and Charlie agreed on closing being on the crack of dawn, but I think we need to settle an agreement on opening times... 1am didn't go down well, sorry about that!
On my Zona Zip, I have an overkill 203mm BB7 on the front, slic cable, and an XTR lever. On the back I have an 04 Magura, Koxx Brown pads, Try All clamps on the back, grind, no booster. Both work amazingly well.
Magura internals are plastic, so the water doesn't corrode them! A good water:anti-freeze mixture works fine in the cold weather. If you really want an oil bleed, just get some mineral oil, NOT DOT fluid, as that will ruin the seals on the pistons. Magura Royal Blood is just mineral oil in a fancy bottle.
You'd be better off asking your 'newbie' questions here anyway, seeing as most of the full members have a lot of experience, and we all seem to know what we're on about! More than some of the new members that have been riding for a few weeks or so...
We made a giant snowball, and an igloo! Igloo isn't quite as good as Mike's, seeing as the only person that could fit in it was a little kid... Was funny how serious all the blokes got when we were building it! Was basically everyone from the pub making it! Snowball: Igloo:
