Thanks guys Will let u know which option works best for me Also wanted to know, next time do I have to use the Shimano branded mineral oil or is there a cheaper substitute?
I thought I was a pro at bleeding my XT's without messing but I thought wrong... anyways I now have managed to get my brake pads wet with mineral oil. I've read elsewhere that this usuaully renders the pads useless and they have to be discarded Could I not rather do one of the following: - Sand down the surfaces with sand paper - Bake / heat up the pads causing tehm to dry out - Just use them as is and over time the pads will become efficient again. ?
Nice bike but 16k is wayyy too much U can get a 1-2yr old decent dual sus for that price Or u could buy a similar specced slightly used alu hardtail for at least half of R16k I know there are some people that are sceptical about buying used bikes but just be more careful and u can save lots of R's
