  6. Bump for some advice on adjusting my pads.
  7. Found this on the web. Is this how you adjust the calipers? If they are rubbing, they might be slightly misadjusted, or there is a slight warp in the rotor. Since they are double-piston caliper brakes, both brake pads move in at the same time. Here is how to adjust them: Loosen the caliper fixing bolts just a tad so the caliper can wiggle side to side. While loose, squeeze the brake on the rotor in a few different spots in the wheel rotation - this should center the caliper over the rotor. Next, sqeeze the brake lever fairly tight, and do up the fixing bolts a little at a time, switching between the two, until they are tight. Last, as the other guy said, you can adjust the reach of the lever with a 2mm alan key. This can make the lever farther away from the bar, so you can pull it a little tighter before hitting your fingers. Also, if the levers feel mushy, or still don't give you enough finger clearance while strongly braking, you might try getting them rebled.
  8. Anyone know of a website where it'll show me how to adjust my pads on my Juicy 3's? I installed them myself but the pads have gripped the rotors and won't let go.
  9. How are Avid Juicy 3's? What do they compare to Shimano wise?
  10. You just need to have them setup correctly. Reviews on Avids are awesome.
  11. I ride a 26er On One Scandal and its awesome. Got it through Kiwi. What do you wanna know?
  12. Funrider how is it so light then??? Give us a breakdown as to whats on it!
  13. Compare the specs of the bikes and customer service offered by the LBS. People here all have personal opinions that might/might not help. I owned the RM5 and had no problems.
  14. Bos I'm obviously not skilled enough then because my crossmarks hate the mud! I haven't ridden the smallblocks myself, just heard they are good in dry stuff.
  15. Trust me Crossmarks are not good in mud! I've heard good things about the smallblocks.
  16. So I took my beaut for its first proper off road ride at Giba this weekend and gee whiz it is awesome!!! The front wheel never lifts on ascents or switchbacks like my old frame did (because it was too small I figure). It is a softer ride and climbs beautifully! keith2009-06-29 07:19:32
  17. So done some research and my current Deore cassette weighs 358g, where a SLX cassette weighs 282g. And CRC have them for R493. So might be looking at this option if someone else is buying from CRC as well! Will it be compatable with my Deore LX front and rear derailleur?
  18. Mampara both my road bike and mtb are now from Kiwi! Levett I'm looking in cassettes now.
  19. Thanks levett for the suggestion! Hippo PM Kiwi here on the hub he'll hook you up.
