Super_mil Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 It's kind of annoying that the nicest bike to be in my workstand in years does not belong to me. I think you at least deserve to take it for a ride then
Guest Omega Man Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I think you at least deserve to take it for a ride then You should test out the suspension for her on that MONSTER drop on Airline. I'll test the brakes and tires skidding down the road from Avoriaz.
Hog_ Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I think you at least deserve to take it for a ride then  I was considering that, but it would mean having to take the pedals off my bike and put them on the YT... and I'm a lazy bastard.
Super_mil Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I was considering that, but it would mean having to take the pedals off my bike and put them on the YT... and I'm a lazy bastard.Just use it like a Stryder... You'll certainly learn just how good (or bad) the suspension platform is. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
Hog_ Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Hahaha, doing that on a 'Goose takes balls... or rather the lack of balls. I'm sure the YT will be soft as a feather in comparison.
Grebel Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Just use it like a Stryder... You'll certainly learn just how good (or bad) the suspension platform is. Â That isn't all that funny.... I slipped a pedal after hitting a stump at Cascades just before the Bombhole and collected a Spank Tweet Tweet Enema for my troubles. Battled to sit down for weeks.....
hayleyearth Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Anyone here taking Mineral oil with or is there a place to buy if need be? After what happened last time I am considering taking an extra set of brakes. (I have slx's lying around so might as well take them. (Dont want to strip the hopes from the Intense). The cables are looong so might need a re-bleed if I have to shorten them IF I would need a brake swap.)

If you need some just shout. I'll see if I can pack some and a bleed kit just in case. If you're careful you can do the brake line swap/shorten without needing to rebleed.

Guest Omega Man Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) There's a guy called Jaff (Ginger Afro) in Les Gets. He's a decent guy and won't rip you off for brake bleeds and shock services. He's in the side road opposite the wooden pump track thingy. You people owe me for this propriety info If I remember correctly it's usually about 20 euro a side to have brakes bled. The problem is the mech's get pretty busy and the last thing you want to be doing is be holed up in your chalet watching the cars go up the hill whilst you wait for a brake bleed.

Guest Omega Man Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 You just have to survive the ride to Les Gets sans breaks/brakes Haha. Presumably both won't go at once. Doing the 4x track with just a front brake would be.... um.... brave.
Guest Omega Man Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Any work done in any of the bike shops is going to kick you in the wallet tho. And that's not even counting the lost riding time. So it's best to have your bike in tip top condition before you go. @ Hayley. Pretty sure Avid Codes run dot fluid. Or do you mean for your SLX brakes? Edited July 23, 2014 by Omega Man
Super_mil Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 @ Hayley. Pretty sure Avid Codes run dot fluid. They do indeed. I'll have an Avid bleed kit with me and will be charging Eur35 for re-bleeds (you'll have to supply your own brake fluid). The price hike is to help afford a couple Mutzig's naturally.
