  1. But is it UST?
  2. Maybe it has something to do with the age of the fluid? I assume air could be pulled into the system when the new oil interacts with the old.
  3. My home made step by step guide: - Ensure the bike is standing flat on the ground - Rotate the brake level parallel to the ground - Open the hydraulic reservoir on the brake lever - Drain all fluid out of the brakes. (this can done via the bleed nipple and reservoir using your syringe) - Fill a syringe with the appropriate brake fluid. Ensure there are no bubbles in the fluid. - Attached the syringe to the bleed nipple and pump the fuild through the system until the reservoir is full - Close reservoir Did this on a set of XT brakes before the SS champs and had no problems.
  4. Makes me feel like a heavy weight
  5. Whats brakes you working with? After bleeding my XTR's every week for a month I consider myself fairly clued up when it comes to Shimano.
  6. My new 29r SS is going to be stealth bomber black ... with a white fox fork Couldnt for the love of money find a black fork.
  7. Good luck with your recovery bud.
  8. Dude you keep this up all ill abandon you at the next Fratelli's punch up
  9. One better to arrive in rolls Phantom with a singlespeed rigid on the back. You would of course require a chauffeur like this to pull it off right. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41dEMYbTAxL.jpg

    Momsen 29er

    Had a discussion with DD about this. Yes it has crest rims but take a look at the hubs, they are Shimano RM65. The question - is it better to have great rims on cheap hubs or cheap rims and great hubs? Maybe the answer is somewhere in between the two?
  11. Amen boet! I've spent the last 5min trying to order her!
  12. If youre looking for a frame drop Nagala a PM. He brings in the Chumba frames and can also sort you out with forks, components etc. Wicked pricing! then go make very good friends with www.chainreactioncycles.com not forgetting to check out www.cwcycles.co.za and www.buycycle.co.za
  13. Amen BigBen. I rode the SS champs on a 29r HT and my butt sure as hell knows there is no comparison!
  14. Bike park could be very interesting on an ss.
  15. Aren't the guys having trouble getting new XTR brake pads at the moment?
  16. If I'm correct Nathrix's avatar is from a dude a woodburn and not special greg.
  17. Awesome balls smothered in awesome sauce!
  18. Any particuler reason you are looking at the XT?
  19. Step one is to go see a podiatrist, he'll be able to tell you exactly whats goign on with your leg length. Then it may be as simple as an inner sole or trip to the chyropractor.
  20. I'm 62kg's and I'll only ride Thompson seatposts and stems. Saving those few grams just isnt worth the risk.
