When you look on their website you have to select your wheels as the spacer or something is different...

Few changes to the Anal Intruder. DMR V12s on and finally, finally completely rebuilt my front E4 (#8 caliper) in anticipation of the Super T going on the bike. Was easier than I thought but my bleeding skills aren't up to snuff yet. Haven't quite got the lever throw/feel I like yet but I'll do a few more bleeds and see how I go. Took me a month of Sundays but having never done this before I'm quite proud of myself going from a non-working brake to a working one. And yes I know 205mm rotor on a 9mm QR is asking for trouble. Just waiting on 20mm wheel and I'll be smiling. Pics in case you didn't know what the guts of an E4 looked like and the bits that got swapped out.

Nice one mate! How much did that set you back?

Yesterday I changed the crappy, won't stay tight for love or money LX cranks to much better XT ones and picked up a cheap and cheerful MRP bash guard. About the size of a dinner plate but I'm happy.

Did someone actually buy that?

Jeez. I bought one brand new when I had my FSR in 2002 and paid £35 for it from J E James.
