Couple of little updates. Got rid of the ESI grips because I hated the colour and after a couple of scrapes with some bramble bushes they tore up really easily (comfy grips though). I now have some Renthal slip ons which are as light as the ESI and a tad thinner which suits my hands better. Also replaced the cheap Clarks rotors with Ashima Ai2's and now my brakes work great. Oh, and I now have a working lockout lever. It needed a bleed but I didnt have the right fluid until today's postie drop.
In the pipeline I have some XT M785 brakes I got for peanuts as spares or repair. The Rear is fine but the front had a stuck piston in the master cylinder. Its a known issue and easily fixed with a rebuild and a little light sanding of the piston. Im just waiting for some silicone grease and a Shimano bleed funnel. If all goes well the Formula CR1's will be popping up in the +98 for sale section shortly.
