It don't half leave your hands squeaky clean.
It's the mountain bike not the GSXR I've been doing the brakes on. The paintwork is already battle-scarred so I'm not really worried about it. Plus it'll be getting re-sprayed[1] during the winter. [1] Matt black in a change from the bling metallic red it is currently. It'll be a better match for the carbon forks then.
Hmm, interesting. Didn't get any on the bike anyway, only my hands. Urgh no. Naked carbon fibre looks lovely.
Interesting. The tech at work was telling me recently that there had been a flap in the UK a while ago about cars catching fire in accidents when the brake/clutch fluid reservoirs came off the bulkhead and spilled fluid on the hot engine.

Not much more to give - it just gave off a lot of white smoke and almost put the proto bbq out as wizard will testify to
Yeah but these http://www.pacecycles.com/enlarge.asp?catID=2&subcat=2 https://www.pacecycles.com/product.asp?catID=2&subcat=2 are a piece of hand laid carbon fibre art.
I was going to, but I left the jar of old fluid standing outside the garden shed and guess what? It actually _rained_ and the jar got filled with water!

Which is why methanol was banned as an F1 fuel. There was at least one driver fatally burned in an incident but the marshals didn't even see he was on fire. On the other hand, Indycars use methanol because two drivers were killed in a "petrol-fuelled fireball" at the 1964 Indy 500. -- Ivan Reid, Electronic & Computer Engineering, ___ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.

I thought DOT4 was supposed to be paint-safe? -- Paul. CBR1100XX SuperBlackbird BOTAFOT #4 BOTAFOF #30 MRO #24
Pace don't do USD forks. If you want USD's then these are the puppies to have: http://www.maverickfork.co.uk/products/sc32.php Personally, I preferred to buy British and went with the Pace's (I'd also have their previous model and they lasted 10 years), but the Mavericks have fantastic reviews.
Bit of old newspaper and a few sticks is you need. Chemical assistance is for wusses who can't light a real fire. -- _______ ..'_/_|_\_'. Ace (brucedotrogers a.t rochedotcom) \`\ | /`/ GSX-R1000K3 `\\ | //' BOTAFOT#3, SbS#2, UKRMMA#13, DFV#8, SKA#2 `\|/` `
I didn't have any sticks left, I used the pub bench up on the previous BBQ BTW, schwenkbratens rock http://www.tesco.com/electrical/product.aspx?R=8211627&bci=210|Barbecues
