    Shimano mt200 brakes

    Howdy all, My boys 09 giant glory has avid elixir r brakes on it at the moment, the calipers are leaking and I think the whole system needs a rebuild. Looking at rebuild kits it was cheaper to buy shimano mt200 brakes. So I’m asking, having purchased the shimanos, should they mount in place of...

    26” DH wheelset

    I am leaning toward the massifs but wanting the chance to buy something complete off here first. The massif colours kinda match the renthals and stansion colours too lol. Speaking of colours, does anyone have any suggestions of where to buy coloured brake hoses.

    26” DH wheelset

    Hey all, I’m on the look out for a 2nd wheel set for my Norco, it has sun ringle single track rims as std, and they are wearing a nice set of maxxis dhr 2.5” tyres. I’m looking to add a set of hook worms to the stable for street riding with the kids. I’d love a set of mtx33 or mtx39’s with hubs...

    Bleeding elixir CR brakes

    Hello all, I went to bleed the boys brakes today (as we aren’t allowed to do much else) and had no dramas with his rear elixir R, but he has elixir CR on the front, and I couldn’t get the fluid from Caliper to lever as per several instructional videos. Yes I made sure the reach and pad contact...

    Those wheels look alright, not bad price either. Might be easier getting them then finding a set of old mtx33’s

    Wheels and brakes

    Reason for the elixirs are I have them on other bikes so makes keeping spares easier ( pads) etc. the Juicys work ok, but like the feel of the elixirs better. The Caliper/ pistons have been cleaned etc have had new pads and rotors and a bleed but don’t feel as good as the elixirs.

    Wheels and brakes

    Morning all, I’m wanting to upgrade my old juicy 3 brakes on my Norco. I’m wanting to get a set of elixirs, as I don’t have a huge budget and can set them up pretty good. would the elixirs be on par with the sram levels in terms of stopping power. I use semi metallic pads in my bikes as I like...

    Sun ringle single track 26” tubeless

    Another update..... the split tube, sealant and the mtx33 rims have been flawless since the install. I have had joes tubeless Schrader valves in my single track rims with gorilla tape and sealant and have not dropped any pressure in over a week. The tyres (Maxxis dhr) seated no problems and I...

    What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

    New bars and grips today. No hacksaw so still at 800mm wide. Old genuine bars were 680mm so a huge difference in feel. I love how the renthals almost match the front suspension.
