Drayk

Red cables will look good i think

fearnsy

True, will get some soon possibly you changing yours?

Drayk

Nah not yet! I'll wait until things wear out before i start changing them, i cant afford to change anything at the moment anyway!

fearnsy

Fair enough you happy with yours? Have you had any problems with yours at all?

Drayk

Yeah mate really happy with mine! Did about 20 miles on it today.
No faults on it yet, the chain kept slipping in second gear yesterday but it must have been loads of mud in the derailluer or something, its ok now though. I can tell that iv worn my toras in now theyre alot more "responsive".
You happy with yours mate?

Drayk

Oh and as i swung my leg over the bike i snapped my read mudguard bracket off haha

fearnsy

haha that's good then yeah I'm happy with mine apart from the fact it came with a slightly bent front disc and is so annoying when you can hear it rubbing, I took it back and they said, although its bent, they don't have any tools to prove it, so can't give me a new one so annoying and I've almost done the same to my rear mud guard haha

its got to be bent if its touching the pads at only one point compared to the rest of the rotor, idiots. You could gently bent it back yourself, when I knocked a rotor that's all I did.

EDIT- After the disc, rotor discussion I'm going to chnage anything saying disc with rotor. There we are, all sorted.

fearnsy

haha fair enough, yeah I went there the day I bought it and said the disc is rubbing on the pads, can you sort it? and the guy goes although we can see its rubbing at one point and that it obviously is bent, we don't have the tools to prove it, so can't justify giving you a new one, I was like eh? haha and yeah will try that

I really like this, makes me wish i had waited for this instead of buying my ltd disc spec vengeance last year (:

fearnsy

ah mate well sorry for rubbing it in your face

j96_2

Hi

I have been keeping an eye on your thread with interest as I too managed to pick one of these up at Xmas (only £287.99)

Did you manage to get the front Crud catcher fitted?

I am looking for some guards myself and was wondering if I should get the Crudcatcher set or the Cycraguard set.

Your bike looks great by the way

Richard

j96_2

Personally I would say crudcatcher but that's just cos I have that set :L

Thanks for the reply. Did you have any problem attatching the front one the the angular down tube?
