    How are you lot washing your bikes without contaminating your pads and rotors?

    Definitely not, talking brake squeals loudly and simply doesn't work, even after riding and spraying with water etc, like permanently. To a point the wheel won't lock at all.

    How are you lot washing your bikes without contaminating your pads and rotors?

    That would usually be a logical assumption yes, but if you knew me and how damn OCD I am about things like that you wouldn't have assumed that 😂 My only guess is maybe the odd rogue airborne spray in my garage maybe while I've been doing something else non MTB related. I've only had contaminated...

    How are you lot washing your bikes without contaminating your pads and rotors?

    That's surprising to be honest. I've never had it on motorbikes, and I've probably had 15 different bikes over the years, road and off-road but I put that down to motorbikes brakes generating enough heat to burn off any contaminants, same as cars.

    How are you lot washing your bikes without contaminating your pads and rotors?

    Wow I'm surprised that car shampoo doesn't cause contamination, and also that you're able to spray degreaser on the drivetrain without getting it on the brakes. I've not tried the Loam Foam yet, maybe I'll try that next then 👍🏻

    How are you lot washing your bikes without contaminating your pads and rotors?

    I've had tons of bikes in the past with all sorts of different brands of pads and rotors and as I'm always paranoid of pad and rotor contamination I'm super careful to not get anything other than plain water anywhere near them. Even so I've had my fair share of contamination issues in the past...

    Recommended me a front rotor and pads 😎

    Thank you, good to know! I'll make sure I push them back then and re bleed if necessary, and worst case I'll sand the pads a little. Thanks for the heads up 👌🏻

    Recommended me a front rotor and pads 😎

    Awesome to hear another vouch for the Galfer pads, I've ordered a Magura MDR-P CL 203mm rotor to go on the front and some Galfer purple pads for the front and rear. I only just replaced the rear rotor with a new Shimano one that has done zero miles so that can stay for now, although if I like...

    Recommended me a front rotor and pads 😎

    So i assume the centre lock is a standard size so I shouldn't have any issues with fitment then? So I should just be able to order a Magura MDR-P CL 203mm and it'll just fit?

    Recommended me a front rotor and pads 😎

    Awesome thanks, I might see if I can find a Magura rotor then, and after you guys have mentioned the Galfer pads I've had a look online and they do get a lot of praise so I'll order a couple of pairs and stick some in the rear as well. Cheers lads.

    Recommended me a front rotor and pads 😎

    Nice thanks, and they'll pair up ok with the XT Ice Tech rotor?

    Recommended me a front rotor and pads 😎

    I need to replace the front rotor and pads on my '24 Cube Stereo Hybrid SLX, it doesn't have the best brakes (Shimano Deore M6120) but to be fair they actually perform fairly well. I've just put refreshed the rear with a stick Shimano SM-RT64-L 203mm rotor and Shimano D03S resin pads but I was...

    Anyone here good with Facebook? Having trouble adding my phone number.

    I've survived this long without having a Facebook account and I still don't actually want one but I'm dealing with a company in China currently about a possible purchase I need to make (not MTB related) and they pretty much offer all their contact, support and any potential warranty claims...

    Laboratory conditions Rolling Resistance comparison - Mary's/VEE's/Wild Enduro's

    Can confirm, Wilds on my last ebike made the thing really draggy, new ebike (same make and model, just newer) with Maxxis Minion and Assagai combo rolls much better, to the point where I use ECO mode an awful lot more than I did on my last bike.

    What Video Editing Software?

    Not in my experience no, my videos are not monetized and I can make all manor of claims of fair use or specifying that the labels can monetize my videos if they want but there are certain labels that just block videos and that's it. Doesn't make any sense because essentially I am creating...

    What Video Editing Software?

    Slightly off topic but whenever I try to upload some of DJ sets to YouTube (not monetized) most of the tracks labels claim the rights no problem but there's always a few that flat out refuse and simply don't let the video get put up at all which is a massive pain in the ass because you either...

    Do's and Don'ts for e-bike battery care. What do you do to keep your battery performing at its best?

    Does your bike not have any LEDs or anything that show the percentage of charge while charging? The last few bikes I've had have all had some way of seeing the rough charge percentage by way of LEDs or some kind of bar meter where each block represents a certain amount of charge.

    Oh gotcha, that's the standard Kiox 300 screen that came with the bike.
