  2. Hi., seeing that this thread is about pivot bearings and bushes. can someone please shed some light on how to service/lube them on the Scott Spark 920? what type of lube etc or is it better to order a new set of bearings/bushes and replace? i bought the bike 2nd hand and recently noticed little creaks when powering thru the pedal strokes.thanks in advance.
  3. And this my friend was the winner. Thank you Sir. the levers feel and bite just awesome!!
  4. I've been using them for a while too with my Garmin 520. Think i must have covered about 4000km between my road and mtb bike. What i did is after installation i ran 2 thin cable ties over them incase the rubber/silicone elastics break. no problems at all with pick up since day 1. hope it stays that way.
  5. think im going to try this. maybe make the block a wee little thinner. if this doesn't work will then re bleed. thanks for all the response.
  6. only bottom to top. think maybe I should try the gravity bleed..
  7. bleed from bottom to top.... Should I do it the other way around too?
  8. Hi, i need some advice/help. I have a Scott Spark 920 2014 bike. it is fitted with SLX brakes. The problem is with the rear brakes. I have recently fitted new pads and did a bleed as per above. When pressing the lever it travels almost half way before biting. I also noticed that the pistons retract far back into the calipers. the levers feel fine. no spongy feeling. Did I: 1. not bleed them properly 2. my ghetto block too thick 3. ???? any help will be appreciated. thanks
  9. I have used duct tape i cut the width to size beforehand. Have been using for a while now. Never had issues loss of pressure etc. I couldnt find gorilla tape at the time.
