Re: Re: Cheers! Nice video that, Didnt think about turning the lever upside down to remove any air pocketed in the piston.....Too used to bleeding car brakes. :roll: I did give them a good bleed today and they are much more solid, Ill give that procedure a go though and see if it helps at...

Re: Well true to CRC's style the service parts for the brakes arrived early today (i absolutely love how efficient they are) Didnt have much time to play around so had a shot at the front brake as that was the main issue. So i stripped down the lever and caliper, didnt find anything wrong...

Re: Re: The pads are fine, Its the seal/re-build kits i need.....Could you link where you found them for that price? I cant seem to find them anywhere at that price so that would be nice.....would be good to keep these brakes as they worked nicely when i first got the bike. As for the shock...

Well its finished anyway, Got my hands on a nice set of Mavics fairly local so its all good to go apart from needing to replace the brakes.....I could just service them but as ive found its more expensive to buy a service kit for them than it is to just replace them so im going with that option.

Anything considered, Not looking for rubbish though

Hi guys, I bought this bike about 8months ago and it was fairly tired, I dont do much MTB riding as im a true roady at heart but i do still like things to be right so i have recently set about giving it a full over haul. What id like to know is how old this bike is? I dont think it is too...
