I have a 8spd shimano shifter/brake combo with promax calipers.It is about 5months old. how much can i get for them? this is how they look

she mainly does groenkloof. will later on do races etc but she only does mountain biking because i do it .... must i leave the "eating" pedals a bit more or maybe get her some other or try to suggest cleats

ahh the great point

which flat pedals are good? the missus have some steel and plastic pedals, those with the teeth that eat your flesh out of your leg when you fall etc. but she does not like these big pedals like the mongoose types any suggestions? i had a look at this Crank Brother 5050XX Pedal mtbN00b2009-12-15 03:35:39

No' date=' not mocking you mtbNoob. I will never mock someone about their spelling. Some of the most intelligent people I know battle with their spelling. Two of my friends who have their doctorates are very poor spellers! I believe that you're either good at it or not. It is not something that one can master by studying hard etc. Just having a little fun with Spud. He knows that I'm teasing him. [/quote'] intellegent peopel cant' spel? i am veary intelegent

how do you get the pads out easily .. it tried to do it but gave up hence this post. Is there no bolts that you can use to adjust the pistons with?

No sweat' date=' i occasionally also used dishwashing liquid until i was cr@pped out. [/quote'] sunlight is the only cleaning agent i know will have to go and by this thing called clean green at Mr min's shop? Wonder where that is

the chain and derailer cleaning still bugs me a bit thou ...

I need help with adjusting my brakes. Just installed my "new" juicy 5 brakes but they brake without even pulling the brake lever. I am not very familiar with the whole disk brake setup. How do you adjust the caliper so that the pads do not make contact with the rotor? Which bolts must i not turn for the fluid not running out etc?

yeah thanks scotty - i got my answer on the other thread - just finish reading the 8pages

how do you wash your chain - do you take it off and put it in a bucket or can you clean it while on your bike? same for the rear derailer and front derailer

why not using dish washing liquid?

a'r'e y'ou m'o'ck'i'ng m'e' ?'?'?'

that is what i use ... it it is muddy i first get the house pipe closer to get the mud off ...then luke warm water and sunlight ... and my girl friend scrub the tires .... you can not even see that she used the bike ... tires look brand new still ...

is scrubbing and polishing the tires a bit to much ?

is there any does and dont when washing your mtb? Guess you must try not to drop soap water on your chain or re-oil it after thew wash? how about disk pads? And is there any danger in using a high pressure spraying machine to clean your bike? In general i do not like a clean mountain bike (it is like having a 4x4 and you wash it every day) but you have to get the mud off to reduce damage to components?

Wanna smoke some pot DG - that why you saw it?
