Dammit’s adventures in mountain biking

I think less is more when it comes to fluro yellow tbh. I've put the Raceline yellow brake clamps that came with the callipers somewhere safe, AKA I have no idea where they are, but I always wanted to used them - just didn't want to have two sets of clamps on each side of the bars, hence painting the match-maker style clamps.

Going to try a DHF on the front of the hardtail, with either a Minion SS or a Dissector on the back.

Also got a 203 and 180 MDR-P in Centrelock coming for the hardtail to replace the current MDR-C's as the MDR-P are moar better.

I reckon Dammit could find a way to make the Magura dropper work better and integrate with the rockshox lever.

I have faith.

But I have a dropper that works?

Never stopped you before

And back to the Magic of Magura- first full bleed has done nothing to get the rear brake feel to be similar to the front. How many bleeds will it take? Place your bets now.

7.5 bleeds

2 more bleeds and a nosebleed

Think I'll do my hair this colour

How many bleeds and ride will it take? Place your bets now.

5 ride and 8 bleeds.

I enjoy being punched in the face by a company when their product goes wrong.

And more importantly, this.

It's not gone wrong, it's just a massive, unbelievable, stupid pain in the arse to bleed.

The soap box script writers have just cut and pasted the same story line to see if anyone even notices.

It's certainly a recurring theme.

I had that with my Hopes, just ended up changing them to kevlar hoses, Hope braided hose has a compressible liner, where as the kevlar hoses are pretty stiff, but still have enough give for the FS bike. -

Also -

Magura hose is Kevlar as standard

How many bleeds will it take?

More than there are atoms in the universe

I certainly wouldn't lose you in the forest then :-)

Maybe I should make it compulsory, for those lucky enough to have hair...

This is a new one - ignoring the wooly lever, the pistons are coming out so far that I can't adjust the calliper so that the wheel spins freely, there's always (significant) drag.

Anyone got any ideas?

I've still got those M8000 XTs lying in the spares box you're welcome to borrow

I admit that this is de-motivating, I'm going to make it the bike shops problem.
