dan the trials man Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 (edited) Hi alli bought some brakes today on e-bay there the green hs33 i thought i could do with a new pair because the 05 ones i have keep going wrong.Have any of you got these i think they look really nice and should go well with my bike, also when you buy brand new hs33 do they come with pads if not what ones would you all recommend for ground rims in winter.I now pads have been brought up loads but i wanted to let you know about my brakes so i might aswell ask .thanksdanAlso just checking they don't come bled do they I have to pay £40 to have them bled when the brakes only cost £75.here they are they will proberbly not link so copy and paste please.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260060780214&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016 Edited December 7, 2006 by dan the trials man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 £40? Fool... http://www.heatsinkbikes.com/index.php?p=brakepads Scroll right down to the bottom and you can get a bleed kit for 7 quidleys, and it's easy to do. Rock pads are meant to be decent, expecially wih the rain and snow comming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 (edited) Jesus christ NMC is getting bad. £40 for a bleed??? Brand new brakes coming without a fresh bleed? asking if they come with pads?Shouldn't you have asked these questions before getting the brakes, if at all?They come bled, with shit pads, and thanks for letting me know you got them, that's put my mind at rest for this evening....Edit: just realised your post count, Edited December 7, 2006 by jake1516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan the trials man Posted December 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 I didn't realize they came bled £40 from the free born in horsham and evans in crawley they said it was a complicated proses and is harder than bleeding disks .

It should not cost £40 my bike shop charges about £9, Sending to tarty or something would still be cheaper.

Dan6061 Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 There are so many ways to bleed HS33s.I found a new way earlier this evening, shame it didn't work too well..(If you wanna know..click the link in my signature..and scrolll)It's so easy to do, whichever way you choose.There are aproximatley 2474 guides on this forum, and probably a couple more on the internet.At work, (Halfords) we charge the same for any type of brakes..I can't remember the exact price, but it's under £10 labour, but the customers have to pay for cables/oil.So it should be no where near £40! Especially if it's around £15 where I work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Wow, I didn't realise you could get them in green these days. For a moment there I thought they were those green frog ltd edition ones from years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not 05s you can tell because of the adjusters on them, 05 they are on the bottom 06/07 are in the middle of the lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
