Blocks & Cleaner (rims)

[vickster]

A Ti with discs is something being looked at for the future, many brands seem to use hydro which I’m a little reluctant to go with.

At the moment I’m saving and taking stock of options, but until I sit on a bike I won’t know, next trip up near blue water I plan on dropping into the Ribble store.

I had TRP Spyres on a previous and those things rocked.

My Ti has Spyres
Spa will build to your spec

Spa is being looked at a lot as well, they keep having sales as well.

I will make a trip up there to speak to them in the future, and I would prefer Spyres over hydro, my neighbour has Hydro on his Whyte and he hates them.

These are some pictures on the wheels mainly on the brake track which hasn’t been cleaned since the Kool Stops were fitted.

The wheel rims have seen a dry cloth but the brake track hasn’t been touched.

I think I may have offered you a test ride of the Sabbath if you're ever SW London way (and a medium would fit). They'd fit Spyres to this spec I'm sure (or any other spec you fancy)

Yes you had mentioned it, I will be sure to let you know if I'm in your neck of the woods, or city! haha

You never know I may make it to Sussex on it one day too

I clean my rim braking surfaces with a bit of fine wire wool, and then finish up with some metal polish. The pads get clean with some good old washing up liquid or if particularly filthy, some brake cleaner.
