Excellent!  Auction has been ended and I'm picking it up tomorrow evening 



I'll be putting my better red pedals onto it, and those red wheels may have to me "modified" 

[thai-wronghorse]

Blimey there's a lot of red!  white forks and black wheels would look good though.

[bobbarley]

Yeah.  Think I'll sand down the wheels then spray them in black.

Rode some downhill at the FoD today First taste of some proper jumps. Had a little off But not as big as my mate.

Over jumped the landing and washed out Broken rib and concussion and bent his bars at a 45degree angle

What camera are you recording on?

[Steve_PD]

Not mine but it was a GoPro HD

[VeeDubGTI16v]

ouch!

[bobbarley]

ok, I have questions.

Unbelievably loud brake squeal (hydraulic discs).  What's normally the cause of that?

[Steve_PD]

What when applying the brakes or al the time?

[bobbarley]

When I apply them.  It's REALLY loud.

Also, there's absolutely tonnes of play in broth brakes, the front pretty muh doesn't come on, so I'm assuming either new pads or it needs a fluid change?
