Just on the off-chance!
I was stupid enough to bank transfer to someone miles away from me advertising one on Gumtree and guess what? They never sent it and stopped responding to my messages.
Apologies in advance for the sob story but this was for my sons bike, he is 16 and doesn't have a part-time job to fund a bike (he is autistic and struggling enough trying to keep up with his peers at school). I managed through lots of deals to get him a nice MTB and a full set of SLX disc brakes only to find that despite buying new pads and giving them a complete bleed the seals have gone in both calipers and they don't work. I have tried so many remedies that I've found online but with no success.
I sourced a rear brake Hope Mono Mini for a really good price after having to give up on the SLX and now have been ripped off on the front one. I really have very limited funds but would like to get him a matching front brake, ideally with caliper number 3 so I don't have to replace the 180mm rotor or buy an adapter to make it work. I am prepared to do a bleed, and I do have a set of pads so that's not important. I just want to get his bike finished and rideable.
WHY?
