 Oh it's had a few run outs already, just had a couple of issues with brake seals as I didn't have any goodridge ones when I put the new hoses on so I used some rubber o rings. The DOT4 has eaten through them but luckily I have a large stock of goodridge ones now so all is good.

 ah you're on it, yep seals etc are all made differently to deal with attacks from solvents/brake fluid etc, gotta use the right compound or it will fail, theres a whole topic right there regarding whats best for brakes, mineral oil, silicone brake fluid, dot4, dot 5.1 i find it all interesting, but i wish they would all decide whats best and make life less complicated so we can ride MORE!!

 Yeah. I don't get why they don't all use one type of fluid.... Oh, cos they all wanna sell you their own kits! The o rings lasted a couple of months before they died. Was a bit sketchy as I didn't really have much back brake working. Much better now.

 02 140mm... yes did all the blues and reds on a hardtail but it was still amazing and i overtook 7 people on full sus' ranging from full on dh one s to xc ones

 Yeah it's a good feeling over taking people/keeping on their tail.
Took on 6 of the blacks I think. Enter the Dragon...mental!!

 did you clear the tables, i was gonna give them a shot but every time i got to the top there were allways a bunch of guys with high end dh bikes about to go down it and though if i get in there way they will be pissed
  • 1 0
 Didn't try to clear them yet. Popped manuals across the tops of them. Probably will tomorrow. There is a massive step down after the tables. Dai Hard is very very fun though

 if i went on a full sus of more than 140 l think i would do the blacks... really want to do enter the dragon though
