Disc brake bleeding kits

Does it make much difference what bleeding kit is used?
I've seen some Shimano specific ones, as well as some Universal kits, and I'm not sure which I should buy.

Thanks,
Greg

Finally, the Doc has given me the all clear to get back in the saddle after a 4 month recovery Smiling so picking an easy track to ease back into it. Just going to do Perimeter and Long out and back at a steady pace. Probably about 1hr 20min return to carpark. Anyone welcome to join, I am just happy to get back on the bike

What a Circus!

Much harder than I thought or more likely a complete absence of any training. Sad ##@%%$#%$@$#

Damn Tyres!!!

Never use 4 year old (well used) tyres when competing in an endurance event. I managed to blow out the front tyre wall with just 10k to the finish. I had to walk home and nearly came last. Grrrrr......

Dirtworks number 2 - smelly but satisfied

Seems to be a common theme with my mishaps at Dirtworks. This year I managed to run over some dog poo 5 min before the start. I was at the back of the pack trying to rub my tyres through long grass and swill in a large puddle. That wasn't working so I ended up with a stick trying to get the big bits off when the starting gun went off. Still I had a good ride, lots of fun and managed to better my time by some 15 mins.

Aiming for sub 03:00 in 2011.

Dirtworks - 1st attempt

1st attempt - not a good look crashing in front of the portable toilets just before the start due to not pre-adjusting my new pedals and cleats. I am sure this set the scene for more trouble. Running out of water, severe cramp and nearly dropping my beer on the finish line in front of a rather large crowd of "already ridden my 50 buddy" fit MTBer's. Hey but what fun!

Manly Dam update for 06 Feb

Area: 
Manly Dam
Status: 
Amber/Some Issues

Obviously it's going to be wet with a few hours of rain but it is still ok to ride. With all the good weather and how dry it's been, I forgot how slippery the boardwalks and rocks are with a little moisture!

Hotter than hot

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I now have a new benchmark for hot. My first 6+6 so was keen to see how I backed up on Sunday morning. The Del Rio forecast was for temps in the 40s and thats what we got.
