How blue is your disc ?
Hi all, picked my new second hand Specialised Epic, like wow, specially after stepping off an Orbea hardtail which served my purpose well. Anyway, went for a ride, Woodford to Glenbrook, during the descent my rear brake started making painful noises, didn't notice beforehand it now appears that my disc/rotor has blued, it's certainly a different colour to the front disc, checked pads, plenty of meat left, disc runs true. So how blue can they go before replacing, I assume softer pads would be available ? Any advice is good advice.

Manly Dam update for 30 May
Significantly wetter in places than it was on Sunday - which is surprising. No wind to dry it out after Monday's rain?? Be prepared to clean your bike after you do a lap!!

New trails at Orange
Good news for the MTB-ers out at Orange. If the new trails are anything like the ones at Kinross, they'll be awesome.
