For Sale: Formula C1 Brake set w/Rotors *Price Drop*
A set of moderately used C1 formula mtb brakes taken off a new specialized enduro.
These brakes, front + rear, provide a very consistent bite feel and and are extremely durable, only ridden for just under 4 months, been replaced with guides. (Nothing wrong with them, just love me some fresh upgrades!)
Never needed a bleed, semi-metallic pads worn approx 50% through, includes 180 and 200 mm rotors with calliper mounts (6bolt)
Anyone who's interested send me PM! 
*Note: 1 mounting bolt for rotor is missing

Wheel issues...
Hi everyone
Really hoping someone can help me with this because I'm stuck, confused and frustrated 
What do I do?
Got a problem with my lever on my Downhill Mountain bike.
First the lever for my front brake works fine so thats all good. But when using my back brake i have to pull on it harder to get the same effect? as soon as i have pulled it to a certain spot it works fine but it doesnt leave much room for my fingers?! is there a way i can make it so that i dont have to pull as far to brake? cause im being forced to use two fingers for the back brake due to the lack of space for my finger!
does that make any sense^ ? haha
Noisey Brakes
Just got some new soft compound rim pads and when I apply them they squeel louder than a pig. Does anyone know the cause and is there a fix?
I can't remember the brand name.
edit: I should add that they are orange in colour if that helps.
CenterLock Disc Rotors with Avid Brakes and installation...
After a bit more research.. a few more questions:
Has anybody experience with centerlock disc rotors with Avid brakes? Shimano obviously says use centerlock rotors only with Shimano brakes...
What rotor brand did you use?
I could find Avid rotors on CRC in 185 (Shimano apparently only has 180...).
The only 203 I could find was from Shimano.
Do I need a special tool to install the centerlock rotors? Got the impression but couldn't find any conclusive information.
What is it called? Any shop recommendation?
Thanks

6 days with a leaky brake
First post...yay me 
Being relatively new to MTB, and the world of hyrdaulic disc brakes in particular, I need a word of advice.
Riding to work southwards down the Spit during the week my front brake decided it would be of no apparent use. The back works fine. I tested it once I rolled over the bridge, finding that it did very little to stop me, and barely even slowed me down. They're Tektro Auriga Comp hydros on a Mongoose Amasa Comp.
Brake pad wear
Hi
I'm seeking advice on brake pad wear if I can please as I seem to be wearing through brake pads very quickly! In fact I have just gone through both front and rear pads over 5 rides and about 70km. Most of the riding has been XC style - tracks such as Terrey Hills, Cascades, and one lap of Manly Dam.
Prior to this I went through rear pads and 75% front over 12 rides and about 130km.
Cables whats the economical choice?
So I've found bits for a V-Brake to Caliper conversion for my elcheapo 2nd hand MTB and I need some advice.
The bits I'm missing are:
1. Spokes
2. Brake Cable
My question for the forum is does the quality of the spokes really make any difference? (I bought a hub that has a disc mount and intend to lace it to my existing rims. The hub PCD is different to what I have and I will need to buy spokes.)
Should I get some Elixirs?
I'm interested in upgrading my brakes from Juicy 3s to possibly the new Avid Elixir R. Not being the biggest tech head I was wondering if i could get some advice first.
- Will this be a worthwhile upgrade or should I save my pennies for something better?

I have spotted this set on e-bay for what I consider a decent price ($300AUD inc postage) but am a bit concerned about a few things:
