Might have just bought one of these for the front...

:D :D :D

Also just bought a 185mm adapter and I'm scouring ebay for el cheapo 185mm discs.

Will just have to make do with 160mm when the brake arrives until I find a cheap disc.
I'm so excited! It's like Christmas!

Noice...copy cat! ;)

You'll be needing this then http://www.sram.com/_media/pdf/avid/AVID_BrakeSetUp1.pdf

Also 180mm disc for £11 and 180mm adapter for £5. This would mean sending the 185mm adapter back but it'd still be cheap.
 
Lol yup! I checked a few pages back after I bought it to see what yours was. Mine is white though... :drool:

Ahh forgot about my superstar ones... I somehow got it into my mind that I had to get 185mm stuff. I blame lack of sleep. :lol:
Did you get superstar ones for your Elixirs and do they fit properly? With my Tektros they are a few mm out or something cause I needed to use washers to space it out. And that's probably why they suck. :P
Only PM'd some guy on bikeradar and he's not replied yet so the adapter isn't actually bought.
I want them now. :(
 
I think 180mm is the norm now. Mine came with discs and the adapters so I didn't need to change anything but I was going to get an adapter from there if I got a post mount fork. Any adapter will work as long as long as it matches the disc size and fork mount so you'd need either type 3 or 7 from Superstars with a 180mm disc.
 
Six20 Fingerless riding gloves:

Nice choice of colour. :lol:

I use similar gloves, albeit from a different manufacturer, Spakct I think they're called.
Are those the type with gel in the palms? That stuff really helps for the long rides.
 
Momo Trek Alcantara steering wheel for our 67 Fastback Mustang. Usually $250.00 but I got it for only $125.00 off of Craigslist brand new. :sly:
Only problem is that they dont make a bracket to adapt MOMO wheels to our Mustang. So I am currently working on my own bracket and should be finished tonight. 👍
Also purchased a LOT of other parts lately but that info is in our Mustang thread.

Congratulations R16T, pretty car! I hope everything else with your situation turns out okay, it looks as if you're on the right track. Good luck and best wishes :).

And I don't have a picture, but I just bought an adapter that lets you play your iPod through the cigarette lighter in the car 👍.
 
A bit disappointed that it's not as sporty as I'd like, but it's transportation so I'm just going to deal with it. At least it's a 5-speed.
 

That's a good bike, I've got a 7.3 FX. I don't know about your pedals, but the ones that came with mine were awful cheap plastic ones that broke the first week. I got the same ones only metal as a replacement and those were legit.

Something tells me the guy on the cover just isn't cut out for the business.

Looks sweet in red 👍 Interesting to hear about the pedals, mine are stock plastic one's but I'll keep an eye out on how they last.
