A whole lot of this! Problem is I didn't know at the time that I would need the part in the future, but selling it to fund something at the time was most important :D I've got a few things for sale at lower prices than others have sold the same item for yet they still aren't selling, so...

Bump

Actually I was pleasantly surprised that the bleed quote was only £15 per brake - which I was happy to pay, just not the significant upsell...

OK chaps thanks. 'Modern' bike stuff eh! Already bought a new shock for the bike earlier in the year (c.£300), so I suppose a new set of XT brakes should be bought. Appears I can get a new f&r set for £150 :rolleyes: Way cheaper than buying a new bike I suppose!

I've got a set of these on my Giant Anthem which is in the LBS at the moment, I hoped for a simple brake bleed of the front brake. I wanted them to do the work as I'm always getting boxes from them and spending very little. However they've told me both callipers are leaking and they aren't...

Edited my hunt for a silver bar as well as / instead of a blue bar as the former might be easier to come by. I bought a black bar but Evri managed to lose it :mad:

Your offer isn't unappreciated, I just feel they are worth that little bit more👍

@elite504 thanks for the comments. Re: the front brake set up, pretty sure I have the 2mm thick cable in place (but will double check). Also think I’ve got the correct cable straddle - but open to correction on that if you’d can provide a link to the ones you mention on Bicyclist.cc. 👍

Pm sent for slime tubes

My favourite colourway for an Attitude 😍 Don't think I'd go quite as blue as you have but I can see why you did! Great job👍

Quite enjoyed building one of these up myself a little while back https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1992-raleigh-dyna-tech-mt4.474753/

Interesting paint job! Shame they didn't bother to remove the headset cups, or mask the bottom bracket threads🫣 which suggests it's not been built up since it was painted. Perhaps it was an art class project?

Enjoying this :D Looks like some significant upgrades happening👍 My collection features my 1st proper MTB, and that didn't stay standard either!
