    Seatpost suggestions with a lot of angle adjustability

    have you tried to turn the seat post backwards? you would get the angle you require then sure it would bring the seat forward and it's not designed to be used this way but it might just help until you find something else.

    hayes hfx 9 (first bleed)

    update: I re-tapped the thread that holds the master cylinder cover and rubber seal on I'm quite happy with the job as it feels a lot stronger and doesn't feel weak like the original thread. I used a 4mm thread as the original thread is 3mm and I didn't want to re-tap it only to come lose...

    hayes hfx 9 (first bleed)

    Yeah it's the 2 screws that hold that in my friend did the first bleed on them and one of the screws was already stripped so I had to use a different screw with a longer thread. I never though they'd be that weak.. but when I got the bike the rear brakes were dry. so think it might have...

    hayes hfx 9 (first bleed)

    ok front are working fine, got a bit of contamination but nothing you couldnt put up with but the rear keeps loosing it's fluid from the master cylinder, both of the torx screws wont tighten up at all so the fluid slowly seeps out. i don't want to spend the money on a new master cylinder and...

    hayes hfx 9 (first bleed)

    Great idea :) hey i was reading this thread on bikeforums.net and it says to use the bleed method reversed. http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/index.php/t-118797.html 1) Filled syringe by drawing fluid into it from the can. 2) Pointed the syringe vertically and shot a little fluid out so that...

    After the first bleed.. the next morning the front brake was just about non responsive the back was a bit soft but worked. but i had to ride to work and by the time i got there they were both to soft and couldn't stop (had to use my foot in the back wheel) so what do you guys think i might...

    hayes hfx 9 (first bleed)

    thanks for your advice I'm going to order the kit tonight as I have to get some more bits anyway. also I don't like my brakes to be overly responsive I like to have a bit of room in my lever not to much that I'm pulling it to the bar though but enough room so I don't lock up my wheel straight...

    hayes hfx 9 (first bleed)

    I attempted my first bleed earlier tonight, regular d.o.t. 4 auto fluid and a syringe with a hose, the method I was told by my friend was to attach the hose to the hydraulic point on the calliper(loosen it slightly first) and push the fluid from the syringe up the cable filling the master...

    hayes hfx 9 (first bleed)

    This is the first time I'm bleeding my brakes (or any hydraulic brakes for that matter), I have only recently bought the bike second had off a friend and he'd always take it into the shop to get done.. but I'd like to do it myself. I'm just wondering what are the best tools and d.o.t. fluid...
