Good times 😂😂

Thanks! Glad you liked it! Twisted oaks is always a great day and a great place for progression.

Cheers, dude! Yeah new intro, needed to update with some new clips 😆

You always make me moist.....

Glad it helped, especially as it got you back out again with your son!

Unfortunately not, makes perfect sense when it's explained to you though. 🙈

It made a massive difference to me, made the bike more consistent on jumps and a lot more predictable on the trails. Glad it helped you, let me know how you get on after you've changed it!

Did you complete a full bleed first? The SRAM absorb moisture really easily so over a lot of road miles you would have to have a good routine of clearing out the old oil for new.

@midlifecrisisvlog I did bleeding first but not changed the oil. I followed the instructions of Sram's bleeding video then I did your hack.

@GMAN9602 ah, ok. It might be best to do a full oil change to make sure there isn't any moisture in the lines. The moisture plays havoc with brake feel.

Got to admit, I have now moved onto new brakes for the enduro rig 😂. I do have these on my hardtail build though, so still relevant! From what I hear, the maintenance on these is much higher than the other brands, which would make sense as to why there are so many issues as people don't want the hassle with them

Was a fun little run for a small sized set of jumps. Glad you liked it 🙂

😂😂😂 I have changed the brakes since I made this, but I have put these on my budget build hardtail so still relevant but needs less hammer than the full sus!

Chicksands bikepark, Shefford, UK. There's some more videos from there on my channel

If it has the bleeding edge port on the caliper, you should be able to do this too. I've not seen the drop levers, though, so I'd check to make sure there's a pressure relief port to make sure you don't over pressure the lines and cause any potential damage.

For sure, dude! Great day in the dirt!

Cheers! It's honestly so much fun, just a shame the hill doesn't go on for another mile of the same stuff 😁😂

The brake lines were bled to remove all air before pressure is applied. If you use the bleeding equipment correctly then you don't add any air to the system.

It's a great trail! The top section has some real tech to it but the bottom section is so good!

Thanks! ♥️

I'm glad it helped! I like my brakes to be on or off, so I like a solid lever but always struggled with mine. I'm happy with just helping people, but if SRAM want to send me a full XO1 AXS drivetrain then so be it..... 😂

No video can honestly do them justice!

Glad it helped!

It was honestly such a good weekend! Great place to ride!

Was a game changer for me!

It's been made a little less than it used to be. It's about 5ft I think, just carry your speed and you can cruise through it 😉

@@midlifecrisisvlog Do you need to go crazy fast or just above trail speed?

@stefan1632 I would definitely scope it out before you leap! I still pedalled a couple of times on this run to make sure I could get over the knuckle of the landing! Such a buzz when you do it, though! 😝🤘🏻

@midlifecrisisvlog went off it yesterday which was great. Still working on the speed needed as it seems its never enough!! Seriously fun trail though plus the old train line.

@stefan1632 awesome, dude!!!!! When in doubt, flat out.... Old Train Line is great fun, that first step up is something else. Hit it blind first time 😂😂

Depends on the situation. I did a full bleed on mine but couldn't get the pressure I wanted in the lever by locking off the bottom and then the top as it states by SRAM. After looking into it I found a few people had locked off the system the opposite way to achieve a good pressure feel at the lever. If your brakes feel rubbish because they haven been bled for a while then a full bleed will be best before doing this.

Thanks!!! It truly is an incredible place! Well worth a visit! It's a 5hr drive for us so we made the most of it and booked up for 2 days and was not disappointed!

@@midlifecrisisvlog brilliant mate..im in the Canary Islands..it might take me a little longer to get there 🤣🤣 but its on my list 👌

@9livesMtb yeah, just a bit of a journey! 😂😂

Cheers! I've always liked the sound of bikes over music. Adds some realism to it 🤘🏻

2nd part.... How to overhaul SRAM brake system

No expansion bladders were harmed in the making of this video.....

Cheers! It was unreal! Such a good place to ride. It's a bit daunting as even the reds are fast and technical but it's also a great way to improve your skills if you want to push on. There were lots of little fire roads and places to stop before you hit everything straight on.

Thanks! Was a wild day for sure! Now I just need to get day 2's footage into something that resembles entertainment! 😂

Hey, these are the guide T that I have but it would be the same for any SRAM brakes that use the newer 'bleeding edge' port

Hello, this should be done to pressurise the system after bleeding. You should always ensure there are no air bubbles in your system before adding pressure 🙂

Yeah, that's it! Those hips!!!!!!

Yeah, bananas give me heartburn so have to be careful with them. I'm usually fine but didn't drink much through the day so it's my own fault

Cheers dude!

Thanks! Was definitely a little scared but the run in made it seem so easy 😂

No problem! Hope it helped!

Hello, yeah you should be ok. There's plenty of other videos of Dirt Farm on my channel, we were there every few weeks a couple of years ago 😂

I messaged you about this one, dude. 🙂 Takes a while for me to get the vids out online 😂

@@midlifecrisisvlog in that case I wholeheartedly apologise. 😍🥰

Wales next Sunday ?

@leehorspool9744 I cant next weekend. Probably heading to Phoenix on the 16th if you fancy it

@@leehorspool9744 😘

Glad it helped!

Yeah it was good, thanks. Started slow but the little session we had on Tidy Darts really turned the day around 😄

Was awesome to get some riding done at a great bikepark and in short sleeves!!!

There's more of the flow stuff but there's also some tech bits. The refurbished Brown Pow is a great mix of flow and tech! Have fun!
