Wyatt Earp Posted October 30, 2013 Share So many pages of bu!!**** here, all I can say is: Pot, Kettle, Black Proof below: Painting people who ride the spruit with the same brush. IMO you Dangle / Wyatt are nothing but a hypocritical troll.The thread was doing just fine until you came in with your six shooters blazing... I was waiting for you, is that all you have ?

Peach. Posted October 30, 2013 Share Eish....no thanks. Won't even consider them then What fluid does your car brake system work on? I have dripped DOT on my paint several time and just wiped it off, this was over 2 years ago and the paint is still on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigelhicks Posted October 30, 2013 Share Is it too late for some popcorn?? http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b87/Splat420/popcorn.gif but i think a few bowls need to be filled with http://www.theicarusproject.net/files/images/chill_pill.preview.jpg YUMEYA, Wil6 and Capricorn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Omega Man Posted October 30, 2013 Share I think at best you'll find a couple of unpopped kernels at the bottom of the box. Those are the best bits of popcorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelhicks Posted October 30, 2013 Share Yeah, I work with dot all day, a quick wipe and all is sorted, leave it there and you have an issue. I always just hose the brake area down again with water if I have rebled using DOT ... works like a charm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach. Posted October 30, 2013 Share Yeah, I work with dot all day, a quick wipe and all is sorted, leave it there and you have an issue. Why would anyone leave a drop of oil on anything it is not meant to be on?you know if you leave a drop of sunlight on almost anything it will also damage it!

nigelhicks Posted October 30, 2013 Share But after a while (like a couple of years) you do notice some paint corrosion around the top caps of the older Avid or Hayes brakes ... But thats after 5 years ... so by that stage I think you could expect that sort of wear and tear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted October 30, 2013 Share My Hopes are M4's I purchased them from a fellow Hubber who chooses to ride more XC orientated trails and felt that the brakes had too much stopping power for the type of riding he was doing. I gladly bought them from him at a good price. The M4 build & feel is awesome! The modulation and ease of bleeding is something I have not experienced from other brake manufacturers. That said I still feel my old (I'm so embarrassed to say this but it's true...) Avid Elixir CRs had more stopping power. This could however be due to the organic pads that came with the M4's. New sintered pads are going in soon and I'll report back after Malelane if I survive. This is what they looked like... I've now swapped the green bits for black bits but don't have a pic to prove this. Bled mine on friday night (I got to Critical Mass too late, so turned around and deemed the evening "Bike Maintenance Night", haha) But yeah, Hopes are super easy to bleed. As for the dangerous DOT, I simply wrap some disposible cloth around the lever and bar in such a manner that if the reservior spills, it's not on a Fukushima scale.
