Gaz, what model is it? Also, is it Mac compatible do you know?It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

Having only just joined the disc brake world of mtbing I am still experimenting. The stock pads that came with my 2012 Spesh Hopper didn't last too long, four rides at Cannock and a few road routes. Bought two sets of Nukeproof Enduro's (http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=42157 as the had good reviews and weren't gonna brake the bank. I didn't really know what to expect, and I have heard that Cannock does have a habit of killing pads, but I would have expected to get more than one and a half rides at Cannock and a couple of road routes. So far covered 220 miles and on my third set.
Anyhow, just ordered these now http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=55871 as I have been advised to get sintered pads. We shall see...0 -

When I moved into the world of discs, I realised I used my brakes way more than I needed. With V-Brakes, you realise that if you get up to a high speed, you're not going to stop (or even slow down) whilst approaching that big tree, with discs, you can pull amazing skids, coz that's wikid, innit.It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

I have tried to stay off the brakes as much, and that has worked to a degree. What do you mean by set up right? They don't rub when I release the brake leaver, other than that I'm a bit puzzled as to what you mean?
Thanks for the feedback.0 -
trying to order this for my brother for crimbo, just i hope i get picked :? :Last Frame left in the UK
Want the last Limited Edition Anniversary frames in the UK? Then contact us today on harofreestyler@moorelarge.co.uk
In the summer of 1981, Bob Haro and fellow Haro Trick team member Bob Morales set out on a three-month tour of the United States to promote BMX Freestyle to the youth of America. They travelled in a new Dodge truck, decorated in the Haro team colors and covered almost 18,000 miles over the period. During the long days and nights on the road, Haro shared with Morales his vision and desire to create a dedicated frame and fork combination specifically for the future development of Freestyle riding. The frame would be marketed and sold as a Haro product, and on his return to California, Haro pitched the idea to his frame sponsor, Torker BMX.
A deal was struck and a period of prototyping and refinement began, with Haro, Morales and a young headline maker named Eddie Fiola all testing the frame at skate parks south of Los Angeles. The finished design entered full production at the Torker facility in Fullerton, California in the summer of 1982, and would mark one of the most important moments in the history of Freestyle BMX.
To celebrate the 30th year anniversary of the Haro Freestyler, Haro Bikes has reproduced a limited number of First Generation frame and fork sets for sale to collectors and enthusiasts. The frames have been produced entirely in the United States; using U.S Made 4130 chromoly tubing, and referencing the original Torker produced blue print for authenticity and historical accuracy.

As it the last one we're going to take you up the tailpipe for it. The fact it's the last one means we're going in dry.
