Headline: Not quite a new bike.

i finally slashed out and got a bicycle work stand - which meant I also bought an XTR disc brake bleed kit.

Thus, I thought I would have my first attempt at fixing my brakes... I assumed that after 3 years or so, the brake fluid would need replacing - especially as I've not used the bike since some time in 2006.

Instead, after reading the instructions on the web, I opened up the reservoirs to find they were still filled with relatively clean looking fluid - so I topped them up, readjusted a few things, and went for my first ride on my LaPierre? in over 2 years...

Twas fun getting lost near the Great North Walk, shame I didn't find any signs pointing me to where they'd like me to ride offroad.
