PSA: In Stock / On Sale

Yeah I'd go with another brand and call the day off.
Another brand of cup? Cause we’re a combo of hope, magura, sram and shimano. And I think the shimanos on my trail bike have had the bleed cup on them the least (well I guess the hope doesn’t take bleed cups and the magura has its own special one cause the thread is different). The srams need top ups the most often to keep feeling tight.
instead if overfilling the system every tine your pads wear. Remove the rotor from the caliper either by removing the wheel from the bike or caliper from its mount (whichever is easiest) then manually advance your caliper pistons to give back closer pad clearance. This will also benefit you in that you'll actually be able to push the pistons fully back when you do finally replace the pads.
You'll also avoid the chance of the overfilled oil fucking seals if you force the old pads back flush when swapping pads.
Nah you gotta do both you make sram not feel like shit.
Hope and shimano share the same cup threads.
SRAM doesn't. But if you want to use a cup system simply remove the lever syringe plunger.
Maguras bleed ports are a fucking awful plastic push fit design. And 1Nm threaded plug. So shit I'd honestly throw the magura levers in the sea rather than use them myself. (I absolutely hate the LEGO style lever shape/feel too though)
Yeah. Like I implied. Your brakes might need replaced with something new/ less shit. (or an overhaul)
Dunno which SRAM brakes you have but so long as they have a good bleed in the first place and don't have sticky pistons a simple piston advancement when pads wear should see lever bite point and feel return to where you like it.

On the contrary Maguras are great for me. I love their bleed screw finger tight goodness. Bleed so easy
all in one kit with metal fittings for the price of one shimano cup
thats the one this lewis brakes company recommends for theirsI wonder if the quality is exceptional

Bleeding cups you can’t see through are fucking lame, imo. I want to be able to watch it run clear from the back of the bike.
we have a different interpretation of "linkage driven single pivot". aka falling rate.
awesome deal though, those are pretty bikes.
For the Brits, Orange has some okay parts prices-

I was browsing US Amazon and Ebay and got feeling that there's really not much real mtb part that anyone would by. Seemed mostly aliexpress dropshippers or some Walmart equivalent mystery quality shit. Jenson had some super discounts but everything seems mostly just more expensive compared to Bike24, Bikediscount, Bikecomponents, Yourmomsabike, shops in Europe.
You are correct. And some stuff is still cheaper even with the $50 shipping. Especially if you need multiple things. I have an order for my wife’s bike in the way now with dominions, continental tires, and the 2mm thick galfer floating rotors and with shipping it was over $80 less than the best deals I could find in the USA.
It can be nuts. When I got my Dominions, I got the brakes, rotors and adapters shipped out of Germany and it was cheaper than the dealer cost of just the brakes in the US.
What? Dealer cost on Dominions is just over $200/set...
You got brakes + rotors & adapters shipped from Germany for less than that?

oem/old stock shop from austria
Australian online shops want $80 AUD for Dominion A4 sintered pads. R2-bike.com has them for $33. Its a fucken joke
It seems most all Australian bike shop owners require ways to fund their new specced out Raptors.
so everything tries to kill you and bike stuff is more expensive than in switzerland?
awesome place

Really?
My old LBS wouldn't let me order anything Dirt Works sold. It was hilarious, the owner would pull out all the other catalogues and tell me to find something in them that I liked.
You are the first person I have ever seen say a positive thing(other than themselves).

When I was a grom they refused to warranty my cranks due to abuse. They literally bent in a berm the first weekend I rode them.
Well, did you abuse the berm??
Well, it was an Oz berm after all, it probably would bite you or spit venom at you...
Nah but I did abuse the importer. Even the shop was apologetic haha
Planet Cyclery is selling extra shocks from GG at blowout prices. These are OEM so they might be missing the special K that Fox factory is supposed to have. I think that's why I was charged 240 instead of 299.
