Storypost | 2007.04.25


Looks like I'm not spending my tax return on you after all. Investigating a slow leak in my diminished tires led me to serendipitously discover one of my cv boots had finally split. I guess it had to happen, and I might as well take care of a few other things while I'm down there.


I can finally get some awesome tires to match the suspension. New wheel bearings might be a worthwhile investment. Re-re-re-replace the rotors and never utter the name Raybestos again. Maybe some steel brake lines. Suspension techniques sway bars? Chrome-plated exhaust manifold heat shield? We shall see, there's a spreadsheet in the works - so you know I mean business.





Split cv boot, side.



Can you see the joint?

How to Choose Mountain Bike Brake Pads :: Adriano Caloiaro's personal blog

Whether you think about them all the time or never at all - mountain bike brakes are what keep you alive on those gnarly descents. And while the whole braking system matters, I'm not going to talk about rotor sizes, 2-piston vs. 4-piston, or lever angle; I'm talking about the humble brake pad. I had long considered brake pad choice a foregone decision - resin (organic) pads are king and metal pads (sintered) are for Huffy! But that's not very well informed. You should choose brake pad...
