XT disc brake setup
Just been fitting the new XT disc brakes I bought after much recommendation on here. Just a question for all you current XT owners - the Avid's that I've taken off had the contoured washers on the mounting posts to allow some lateral movement in the set up. Are these washers necessary/recommended for the XT's? I've put them on without them at the moment and they seem to be fine.
Tires out of round
With out sounding like a total newbie here, I'm hoping someone might be able to throw me a bone on a recent issue.
I have a giant 29er fitted with the standard schwalbe nobby nics that came with the bike.
Today I went to rotate the tires front to rear, and once inflated both are incredibly out of round, and seem off centre of the rim.
I deflated and re-inflated them and tried to manipulate the way they sit on the rims but without much luck.
I've changed tires a million times without issue, however this is the first time on the 29er.
Am I missing something?

Lane Cove National Park update for 24 Feb
Obviously the trails in LCNP should be avoided until they dry out, this update is for the cycleway between kissing pt and vimeria roads. Browns waterhole currently has 40cms of reasonably fast flowing water running through it - take care. I went barefoot and carried the bike over! Other than that it was actually quite pleasant being out on the bike this morning.

Making light of another's misfortune!!
Something from the lighter side of MTB: One of our cycling crew recently celebrated the big 50. We all met on Thursday evening, did an awesome early evening ride and then crashed the local Pizza Parlour in Terrey Hills. We sat outside the PP enjoyed sumptuous pizza (enough for an army and sssoooo tasty - and no I'm not a shareholder!)
Our 50 year old friend was telling us how he recently was riding up Heath Track at Cascades and how he did a new PB....largely due to the fact that a wasp stung him on his butt. Of course we all CRACKED up and thought it was quite hilarious....
Kincumber Reserve update for 23 Feb
Foolish enough to head up there this morning, only to wear out running gear and get leeched. Had the place to myself though...
