The problem started 3 weeks ago on the Tue night ride, luckily (for me) at the top of the hill my hydraulic front brake developed a hole in the cable, result oil everywhere and no front brake !Tell you what my rear disk was hot at the bottom of the hill !
New this was going to be expensive, its a cannondale and never standard !
Leisure lakes was a 3 week wait and Cheltenham Cycles was 1 so CS it was, then the dreaded phone call, its all gone pete tong, and its not our fault ! Well they said it was Leisure Lakes fault, so wheel it in there I did.
LL policy for “broken” bits whilst fixing stuff is cost price parts and fitting for free, seems reasonable to me. So now I have some shimano deore calipers and levers fitted for not a lot more than refurbishing the old magura units (still more than some brake blocks and some cable) and set out on a ride I did.
Well having being told that they needed a couple of rides to bed in I was surprised as they were as good as the maguras from the off, but by the end of the ride they were sooo much better ! If this carries on into the next ride I will be over the top I can tell you !
