Quick, set up your own business, apply for government funding, go on Dragons Den - this is a niche skill, you could make a fortune.

My god, I didnt think that was possible.
Are you now going to be one of those "there is nothing wrong with Avids, you just don't know how to bleed them" people?
But in all seriousness, well done. I could not do mine at all.

tbh I always thought they were ok when they were on my dh bike.the one I`ve just done is on matt`s trek session and just took me 3 attempts which I was happy with considering all the stories you hear.mind you I`m just down to one bike now and it`s got hope m4`s fitted so I won`t be having to do them again....fingers crossed  |

I'd rather use the old skool foot on the back wheel method of braking... Than use avid brakes...

Back of the net ..bonny lad ...great to see there is another Mam man on here...pisses me right off going into Clintons and seeing row upon row of Mum Cards with about a choice of 3 Mam cards ( I still buy them for my 11 yr old boy..mine departed a few years back) ..I have even taken to changing the "u" to an " a" in the past...it's a disgrace! |

It even pisses my Mam off with the lack of Mam cards.
If I can't find a nice card with Mam on it and she gets a Mum card I always hand it over with a "sorry, couldn't find a good one with Mam on it"
