Makes you go faster. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

I put DW40 all over my rotor, pads and everywhere inside the calliper. I even put some in the bleed valve too. That should stop the squeaking. I will let soak over night. When I ride tunnel tomorrow, I won't have to be annoyed by them.

 

[PatBranch]

Thats my goal!!! I want to be as fast as E.C. .

Here's a picture of tunnel, if you haven't seen it.

When doing tubeless use the stans to help seal the bead. Yu will get alot better seal and reduce burping, I haven't burped mine yet and I like flat landings plus I weigh 205lb.


Oh yeah and never oil squeaky brakes, just use grease.

what tire/ rim combo you run?

For chainstay protection, I found some clear thick tubing in my house, cut it to length, split it down the middle and zip tied it to my chainstay/seatstay. Works awesome, and you can see the paint through it

Also, for cleaning, the simplegreen degreaser works like a charm.

Tunnel is the best trail I've ever ridden.

Its fun. I only have a hardtail so for a little while it got old, but I want to go ride it now.

i used to run a short cage Ultegra der.
i got sick of hearing it slap the stays so i made a bumper w/ a pc of tube and zip tied it to the der. body. worked great. then i went ss haha

 

[PatBranch]

I think I'm going to get clear plastic tubing for the chainstay.

Finally a post with some intrest.
Camo ano urban.

People are wierd these days. Why wouldn't they want red, even though they won't see it?

I'm surprised Walmart doesn't sell a camo version of it.

It's insulation tape to keep cold pipes from "sweating" and dripping water.

Maybe this stuff...
Pipe Wrap

electricians friction tape works well too and is very durable and east to patch over.

I used a piece of a DH tube that fit over perfectly on my RM7.

Picked up some of that pipe-fix wrap, truly amazing stuff. Unfortunately I got a little excited and ran out halfway through, but I'll go snap some more up soon. Thanks for the tip.

Stuff rules, buddy told me about it 2 weeks ago.

You can find that pipe wrap stuff in the electrical isle at home depot right next to the cheap electrical tape. We don't have walmarts in the city.

For a good spot degreaser, use isopropyl alcohol. Basically, rubbing alcohol, without the water. It works as a adhesive remover and degreaser but it won't eat paint.

Keep staring at it. You might catch it breaking.

How much was it?
I paid $5.89 at Wal-Mart.

I might have to check out the pipe wrap. I found roadie bar tape to be awesome but it's $12 for maybe 2 bikes and it won't last. Old tubes wrapped around your chainstay and bound with zip-ties is also really good (and durable) if you don't have a lot of money.

As long as he sells pipe tape he can eat Rosanne Barr for all I care. MMMMMMM!
Excuse me now I need to go wash my brain of that thought.

 

[bullcrew]

I tried roadie bar tape and it sucked, ripped and came unstuck constantly. This stuff rules, best find and who would have thought.

 

[PatBranch]

They should make it in camo for you.
