Advantages: cheaper than contemporaries Disadvantages: difficult hoses
...shimano, in using a new 4 pot system have moved into the league usually dominated by Hope. the 4 pot system gives greater power than two pot systems and doesnt overheat easily. the shimano is better than the hopes because it uses two cylinders to drive the pads rather than the one cylinder that the hope uses to drive all 4 pads. the shimanos are also a lot cheaper than other systems with comparible performance, although they need expensive hubs, making them more expensive than the hope open 2s. the braided hoses are bombproof but need to be precut and the levers give superb modulation and good feel....

Advantages: Stops your bike. Easy to setup. Disadvantages: Takes a while to bed in. Supplied pads rubbish.
...Oooh... brakes these days. Rim or Disc? Cable or Hydralic? The way things are going, you'd swear that discbrakes were the be all and end all of brakes these days, but you'd be wrong, as Shimano will be eager to prove.
Shimano have been doing V-brakes for quite a while now, and the LX really demonstrates that. Whilst I was sorely tempted by a discbrake, I can't really see what all the fuss is about. Yes, if you're into hurtling down hills on your 55lb monster downhill bike then discs are for you, if you're a cross country rider trying to shave a bit off the weight then vees are still you best bet.
The brake is the cheapest in the Shimano range to offer the parallelogram design, which keeps the brakepads parallel to the braking surface, resulting in longer pad life and better braking performance.
Setting the brakes up is fairly...

Advantages: lightweight; very strong; slick gears; very fast Disadvantages: cost; keeping it yours !
...Enthusiasts might tell you this is only the best downhill MTB. I don't care which way you're going, you simply have to ride this bike to appreciate how fast and slick it is. Its hard getting a dealer demo because of the cost but more about that later.
Features: 6061 Series Aluminum twin Monocoque front, light-weight Monocoque swingarm with integral discbrake mounts and cable stops; Answer Mars Super, 80mm of Travel with Lockout; excellent Fox Float RL, with Rebound Adjuster and Lockout rear air shock; ShimanoXTR throughout; Mavix X517.
I chose downhill bars which I find more comfortable. Most dealers give you these for a free swap. disk brakes are extra but possible.
You don't have to be fit to be the fastest thing on the road and off-road it knocks about 5 to 10 years off your age. A great bike.
The XTR gearchange is amazing...

One day not long after Christmas I was in my local Woolworths store with my then 6 year old daughter.
There in the middle of the store was this huge box with a big sign saying reduced................. Oh no my daughter had spotted it.

I used to have medium acne on my face & my doctor advised me to use Oxy because they apparently have benzoyl peroxide in them, which works to peel the skin and increase skin renewal. Within a week my acne had hugely decreased and now I swear by them. On... more
