    cheers chap this may be a silly question but what is an immobiliser on a bike and where is it found on the bike?

    I think Briggo may be joking.

    Is it a spacer to go between the disc pads when you remove the wheels to stop the pistons coming out too far when you accidentally operate the levers? (If so, there should be 2).

    I got a 2009 model in the sale last summer, or spring (I can't remember now), and I don't remember getting any kind of key with it. Unless it was the 2008 model that was on sale, maybe someone can confirm that? As pointed out though, you should have spacers in the brakes, between the pads.

    It's a nice bike. Bit heavy on the flats, though I think the tyres may be partly to blame for that. But good and solid downhill. I haven't been out on it enough to be honest, maybe 2010 will be different!

    The red key is to secure the brake pads (i've got this bike too). If you have a look in the bike manuals for the Avid Juicy brakes it explains how you use it.

    If you didn't get the manual you can download it from their website.
