FM166 First Ride With Hydraulic Brakes

Oh, finished the MS Ride this weekend. Very slow overall pace/big rest stops. I did hammer at 70 to 80 miles, only ended up with 91 due to waiting for team.

Anyway, post here is about the maiden voyage of FM166. I got the 20mm spacers, and put them on, adjusted and voila I was out riding in the dark, this time with brakes!


The bike felt very light, or the wheels a bit heavy, but the brakes definitely worked and had that nice MTB light action I have come to enjoy. We will need to brake them in and run this down a hill or two to get them nice and hot...

Next stop, homemade electronic wireless shifting?
