    another pillock on facebook

    it's never anon to the police :D . I normally just ignore this crap but the tone of it was a bit harsher than normal. but im sure his claims to be a 6'4" 4x4 driver will turn out to be a 5' 2" 'ped' rider.

    Alternative brakes to avid elixir 5

    As a follow up to this, I received the slx's from rise within and couple of days and my lbs swapped the levers over and rebled them. They've been great, much more progressive and a lot quieter than the avids. On another positive note, I sent the offending brake off to chain reaction who have...
