Used to sell drugs, now he just takes them
Finally got some time to run a bit of a service on the Blur so:
The brake bleed has been on the books for almost a year now, glad I finally got around to it. The Saints were a piece of piss compared to the Juicy's I bled last time, so much easier.
Other bits & bobs:
Wide narrow on the Reign & ordered up some Big Apples to finish the build to it's original intended spec'.
New cassette, middle ring & chain for the road bike, just so it can be sitting there ready to go if need be.
I think with that complete, my servicing is finally up to date. About time too.
- Bled the brakes
- Clean & lube drivetrain
- Re-goop the tires
- Fix some chain tension issues

With the brand new SRAM 11spd i figured I'd start rotating chains to maximise cassette/drivetrain life!
big thanks to Pushie Ent (same guys doing KS Lev's) who also bring in a tool brand called Unior....
Quality is on par... If not better than Park tools!

Silverback Frame (Germany). Stripped it and dad painted it for me, it's my first 29er so didn't want to go nuts splashing cash on something I've bagged for so long... Had a couple of rides and it's bloody fantastic.

Those chain checkers are light years ahead of Park Tools offering

I'm having dramas getting the maxle lite with push spring adjust to be threaded into forks tight enough and still be able to flick lever into 11/12 o'clock position any ideas??:frusty:

Mocked up a cut down pm to pm 203 adapter to get the pads contact to 200mm centreline rotors right, then milled another adapter down to suit. Bled and swapped out the sintered pads for organics. Took it for a fang at Lysterfield, impressive initial bite and no fade.

If it's anything like my axle. Take it out, hold the axle in the left hand and handle in the right. Should be able to push the axle in towards the handle and rotate. Adjust to where it needs to be. Hopefully that helps.

that part i understand but when i thread it back in all the way across forks the lever is too tight to flick up. Its on brand new pikes. i had to unthread it slightly then tightened it and its set to 2 atm

Keep playing around with it until it works. Adjusting slightly then trying it.
you can adjust the tension of the spring in a maxle light using a 3mm allen key on the inside of the lever. Wind it back two clicks, try again, repeat until it's tight but not too tight.

That's the old one. He has the new one.
