and My 2c, in the last 3 yrs or so I can count on 1 hand the number of times one has stopped for me there.. I find that part of the track very dangerous and often when I see a bus I just stop and let it come past as it shows zero intent on stopping or even slowing down

Thanks Bushdaaif for stopping, Simon is my brother, he was at the doc earlier on and received 6 stiches for his troubles this am.. The family are so glad that you are your mate where there to assist, who knows how things could have turned out. This was is first cycle as he was having knee problems from running... What a great welcome to the sport.. He has said though this will not stop him... once again thanks to all involved.. On a side note Bushdaaif, this race was not the epic your talking about that you needed to register for?? If so let me buy you a beer sometime since I will be there 2.. cheers James

100% Eddie, and as I said I got the new lever from chain reaction and delivered in 2 working days. That’s what I call service

levers came off a sponsored bike (so yes tehre were local), but thats not the point. Why should i buy a full new set of brakes, I'm asking for these to be fixed at my cost.

better??

So the story starts out like this, I have a set of top end brakes that need to be sorted out (no brand named) as they have developed a leak on the left lever. So I send in my XTR brakes to the agents to have the issue fixed. I get told that they will not warranty the brakes as they are not sure if they brought them in. So I say that’s no hassle can you please just fix the lever as I never actually asked for a warranty in the first place. The answer I got back through my LBS was NO, they have told us to inform you to buy a full new set or XTR. They will not even sell me a lever or even a left brake set. I mean WTF, how can SH*TMANO say something like this (no backup what so ever). I was more than willing to pay for repairs and not expecting a hand out. MY LBS then said why not look at certain online store since the agents here can’t help you. Guess what, part found and place the order. The part arrived today, that’s 2 days after placing the order. That’s service (Shimano take note on how to treat customers!!!!!) So MR SHIMANO please tell me how I can import the part that you refused to fix (an entire left lever for +- 1.2k with over night delivery) and your say you can’t help or even replace the lever at a cost to me?? You know LBS and agents wonder why people look online to bring things in and bypass the local agents and LBS. With service like this one has to feel sorry for the LBS as they can’t do anything but watch you spend your money elsewhere. I for one will never buy another shimano product from the local agents again. I would actually get rid of the XTR brakes (got SRAM on everything else and works like a charm) if for the fact that I really love the stopping power of the XTR setup. So any other people out there feel like we are being treated like third rate citizens by the agents who we actually keep in business?? Ok Rant over and with any luck my XTR brakes will be back on this weekend…

No. I got a quote from outsurance at R700, cycle sure was R500...

stay away from outsurance. My mates bike was stolen and they refused to payout. Even though it was locked to the bike rack. The guys had to use a portable grinder to cut if open. my 2c

I have them on my magura's. Great hoses but you need to get the goodridge fittings..

Short Legs, I was thinking the same thing yesterday evening. About 99% give me plenty of room.. Something is working I think.. keep it up guys...

Call cyclesure, ask for Anny. Some of the best service I have ever had in the country. Also a very good price. My 2c's

try giordano, little bit more (I think about R800) but great shorts... well worth it in my books. Give cycles direct a call (021 554 2128)

When did you do the setup?? Is it both hands or 1 side in particular?
