Oh... Does anyone want a really nice set of brakes? Due to a gigantic ebay cockup I've ended up with a set of Formula Oro K24s I don't need, absolutely brand new in their packaging, with an 800mm front hose and 1400mm rear... They don't have any discs, I can probably scratch up suitable mounts for them though. Looking for £125 for them which is exactly half the price of a new set from Chain Reaction

Grrrrrrr wrong time, another couple of months and I might take them off your hands... too expensive for what I'm looking for anyway (or so I have to convince myself...)

Good luck with the sale

EDIT* Found out that the first measurement is the travel of the spring, not the width. heh. Idiot. Ordered a 3" 250lb 162mm spring. Just hope it doesnt make the bike unpeddalable. (is that a word?)
FFS man choose which units you're using.

Here, Thegreek, your bike got a hell of a review in Dirt this month, "One of the best bikes we've ridden this year". Nice!
