Abdab. Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Winters approaching now and the weathers getting worse I was just wondering what you thought of it and how your ridden is coping. And i cannot cope with the temperatures its freezing, its hard enough warming up and where not even in december yet! Wouldn't mind if it was cold as long as the floor keeps dry....Abdab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Dig Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 cant complain about the cold realy... yet . i just get out and ride, if im cold i wear a jacket untill im sweaty then take it off. my winter worry is my maggie not holding up well. but a grind and some koxx blues seem to be doing the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andeee Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 When i go out and ride my feet feel frozen last year my magura louise rotor on my t-mag was catching frost particles which was a bum and now am worried about my brakes freezing. But i still try my best to ride though. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban legend.

Dr Dig Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 No I belive the solution is blue rock pads on a rear 07 echo rim Abdab...lol. since we have some difference of opinions, perhaps if you don't mind your topic being slightly hi-jacked people can post the brake rim combos and compare views on pads ect. this would eliminate the need for 10 new topics a day asking what pads to use. this is unless some things been done all ready in which case ignore my post completely.

Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 good topic mate.i love the cold.it makes for more of a challenge and i love riding in the rain.cant wait till it snows then it will be much harder max....Yes this is true it does make it harder but it becomes too hard when playing on rails in the wet However it does make more of a challange Haha back disks suck =[iIlove the feel of a magura its sooo much nicer Rear discs dont solve the problem either, i had one but as long as its set up right i suppose there fine,pain in the bottom though Craig.I like maguras too! But when the rim gets wet, if where not running the right pads then its not too good lol. since we have some difference of opinions, perhaps if you don't mind your topic being slightly hi-jacked people can post the brake rim combos and compare views on pads ect. this would eliminate the need for 10 new topics a day asking what pads to use. this is unless some things been done all ready in which case ignore my post completely.Or we could make this a multi choice topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 My brakes are shite all year round so it's cool. As much as i don't want snow, it would be nice to have some christmas time.And whats this about maguras freezing? surely they wont if you keep pressing the brake, moving the liquid?

ted Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 (edited) the water will freeze, expand and burst you maggie And a hair dryer is a simple sollution for this problem Hairdryers can fix burst maggies? hmm, i love the temperature now, it stops me overheating. I cant stand riding in the rain so i'm not so keen on winter . Also it gets dark really early now. I only have half an hour of good light after school now Edited November 8, 2006 by ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passy Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I am running a 33 on a echo rim with a harsh grind and koxx browns and it hasnt slipped on me once. Als i have had the pads for 9 monthes and theres still plenty of meat on them. I just dont like it when my fingures go numb hard to press the break.
