oh any one have a rough guess on prices for disk brake pads . . . i inhereted a bike from work with em on
--- End quote ---


for pads find out what make they are Hope, Shimano, Hayes, Avid are probably the main ones around but it does depend on how much the bike was as to what might be on it, when you've found out have a look in your local bike shop if not try www.chainreactioncycles.com they have quite a few different types on there

cheers Dom

Bush Tucker Man if you get a new bike before the 5th of August, you should traval up to Selkirk to do that round of the Merida MTB Marathon Series. By far the best round of the series. Me and SWMBO make the trip every year from mid wales its that much fun

muddymesser:
thanks dom

i ended up jus tryin to repair the pads and better leavers they work better than they did  :)  

project bike is almost finished its not the most expensive thing but its light and gearin works great  :D all it needs is th peddles puttin on and cranks tightening and i'm off :D

Bush Tucker Man:
I was out earlier this morning.

I went via Castleford, Allerton-Bywater, Fairburn Ings, with the perceived intention of ending up at Squires Cafe at Sherburn (the bikers cafe that now resides in the -former- 'New Inn' pub)

After a very good start, feeling fit & strong, I'd crossed the roundabout on the old A1 at Fairburn & had the new (re-routed) A1 flyover in site.
 
Just as I was climbing very gently towards the bridge decking, the rear tyre went down.
It was flat before I'd even stopped!

"B *gger!!!!" :(bigangry):

As I didn't have a tube, pump or tyre-levers with me (silly me!)
So it was simply a case of setting off & walking home, it had taken me 30 minutes fairly hard riding to get that far, hence it was a fair walk back :roll:

But a thought wandered into my mind, I rang the mother-in-law (SWMBO away) & she came and picked me up - after I'd walked about 3miles pushing the bike.

So, tomorrows ride will see a tube & levers in my pocket :wink:

Muddymesser, you'll have to post a pic when your done be interesting to see.

Sods law on the punctures at least you managed to get a lift, always happens when you dont carry spare.
