Omg thats wierd and amazing at the same time. Me likey.

It also means that MV are now selling a bike with a rear brake that actually works.

Very few bikes seem to have good rear brakes - thats a novelty then too.

I think the phrase "rear brake" is banned in the MV forum. It was pretty much non existent on the F3

My multi suffers the same. I put a bleed nipple I place of a banjo bolt on the output from the rear ABS unit and pressure bled it from the caliper back. Lasts about 2-3000 km and then is shit again. I’m sure the ABS circuit introduces air somewhere

I can lock the back wheel up with the drum brake on my cx500

And that is the simple solution. A simple single circuit system of master and slave and an experienced foot.

The only bike I've ever ridden that had a decent rear brake was the HD Sportster that I had..... that one worked surprisingly well.
All-in-all a pretty good thing, as the front brake required a decent effort, and a lot of optimism.

Mine won't hold my bike on a hill.

[D41]

Bleed/adjust it??

[Kwacky]

Or start a new thread..... 'P

The bike is in Birmingham and they're fitting the alarm today. So it's ready to be mine from Tuesday.

[Perkles]

Really looking forward to seeing and hearing it soon

Call in from DMC. They've not got any delivery slots and/or a driver until Friday. I can pick the bike up before then.

I'm working all week and Sam is working all week, which means I can't get out and even if I could I've not got a lift, so I'll let them bring it to me.

[D6Nutz]

That's a pain.

I've got my fingers crossed for a long hot summer, hopefully one this weekends over

I could come your way and give you a lift there on way to collecting my MTB.. you can lay in the boot. 2m and all that.

[Kwacky]

Thanks Cav.

I'm happy to wait until the weekend.

[Kwacky]

Change of plan. They're moving some stock tomorrow, so do I want my bike dropped off before the van heads off to London?

Yes. Yes I do.

[Kwacky]

In some sort of cruel April fool's joke the van has had to go straight down to London

I'm working today so it doesn't make any difference but still, I want my bike!
