AK350Z

Magura and Shimano are the biggest users of mineral oil in brakes. It's not hydroscopic or corrosive like DOT, so it doesn't need changed unless they are obviously spongy or lacking power. Due to the different seals you need to use mineral oil when you replace it (bike shop will have it), DOT would just rot them.

6 years old now Dave?

No real gains without a remap either, just nicer noises!

Hello from another Alfa fan 350 is a much better drive than a Brera, very well balanced and approachable. Build quality generally good. Interior not as nice to look at though. Load space is pretty good too as long as you pack it correctly. Think lots of squashy bags rather than big suitcases.

General MTB update: Been a mostly poor week since Chris left and took the sun with him! We've been having thunderstorms, very heavy showers and all those dry trails are gone again. I've also managed to crack the axle in my Nukeproof rear wheel, so despite only just having been in the shop for a new spoke and a true-up, it'll be back in again wednesday or thursday for that and a bearing replacement! You can tell the difference in build quality between them and my pricey Mavics straight away though. Oh well. On the upside though, I had a go with my new Stan's tubeless kit, and to my own surprise, managed to do the front wheel on the second attempt! Still have to do the rear, but might wait till it been fixed. Looking forward to that, as its the rear I pinch flat all the time. To buy this payday: Longer bars - May get some about the 740-760mm mark and see how we get on.

+1 Always fancied a new knob but have always resisted the temptation At this point i will end the conversation about knob's and Wales Nismo Earplugs would be a strong seller......

If previous years are anything to go by, a few of the cheaper items might be worth getting to sell on the day maybe?

Gimp is quite nice.

Has front fog lights apparently!

Good pics there mate, the Bash gets better the more times you do it, not from Keswick though!

Work for man and dog in the wind industry, can't get enough service and support staff!

I've paid up!

Carbon, carbon, carbon! Come on Chris, get your biking pics up of the trip!

What does that mean? New one on me. No. Just too quick on cold tyres with traction off and throttle controller on SP3. Heady mix TBH. Must be all that yankee saturated fat dulling your reactions

What does that mean? New one on me. Were you still braking for the corner after you turned in?

It it just me today, or is the forum being really bad? haven't had a first time connection all day. It just drops all the time and is just generally really slow. Edit: And now I've posted about it, its ok again for the time being!

Just had a few connection fails - 11:14am using Chrome and IE.

Trailing the brakes?

Nice! EADS Astrium perchance?

Great read

I chuffing love the shuttle. Strapping yourself to a massive boiling fuel tank attached to two solid fuel rockets that can't be switched off! Talk about the Right Stuff...

A single colour, but one thats reflected in the vinyl's. So probably red then! Black's been done to death.

another 6 cylinders with a turbo wasn't it? 2 Turbos or maybe 8 cylinders & Italian I'd be scratching that itch! Until service time... Don't think a 4200 is special enough to be worth the hassle though.
