Mike T,
Man, I've fell in love with my cheap arse, '02 old Julies. Some moron sold the bike with them on thinking they got nothing to offer and I was lucky to get it.
After some love/hate/tragedy affair with a sticky and popped out piston, I was iniciated thru the "bleed ritual".
I felt like picking up a homeless-filthy puppy. The poor ones had (still have) the paint scaled, sticky piston, a incredibly stupid misinstalled pad (backwards), long lever throw, misaligned calipers, warped rotors... you freaking name it.
I fed them with luv'n'care... fix all those little qwirks and they rewarded me last weekend with a solid lever feel, great modulation over leaves and mud and nice power. So far, an incredible brake at an great price.
I thought they had cured me of upgradeitis... but I was wrong. Now I'm lusting after wavy rotors and worst yet... a set of Louise... that should be sweet.
By now I'll be just fine adding my MCM # to my signature on the MTBR and any other forum I would post on.
Thanks to you Mike and especially to Jimy and Squeaky who showed me the ligth when I was in complete darkness.
