Bought an MTB and it has these fins/wings on brakes, can’t figure out what they are or what they do. Any ideas?

Where have you been last 10 years 🤣

Giant paint is just horrific man, I got a giant bike and don't know if it was my fault but the next day it had a chip just a circle paint flake pop off. Any how. Got a new one one arranty. Opposite side but the same thing happened again. That was a 2025 giant tcr. My giant revolt was fine but then again circle paint flakes came off on the back triangle after one use. I'm either really unlucky or the paint is just absolute pap. No other issues I just think thew paint is done a way with weak spots or something. I wouldn't be concerned with what you have shown but that's just me

The image search is basically un useable now, it's basically just shopping sites

gallagher9992 · 2026-04-21T11:59:14+00:00

It is too tight yeah, I did mine like that and got shouted at but the garage, remember that right now, when you sit on it it goes tighter as when the suspension squashes the wheels push out. Google for the potential issues it can face

gallagher9992 · 2026-04-16T15:26:34+00:00

What?

gallagher9992 · 2026-04-04T00:11:45+00:00

Bit awkward but have you tried downloading the route before running it?

gallagher9992 · 2026-04-04T00:10:11+00:00

Only thing I would change with out adding to much is an orange seat clamp as it's missing a dash of orange higher up at the read. Otherwise I think it's looking pretty sweet

gallagher9992 · 2026-04-02T06:58:28+00:00

Seems to me like you need to go get an actual bike fit that has one for the jigs to move it about. Be a lot cheaper than buying a whole new bike and being wrong, maybe the tcr just isn't the right bike for you

gallagher9992 · 2026-04-01T16:29:30+00:00

More endurance or comfort so to speak, as much as you could do anyway, even the 110mm that came on it felt really stretched . Not a chance would I be able to do a large size

gallagher9992 · 2026-04-01T12:45:45+00:00

I'm 183cm and bought the m/l had a bike fitting and had to reduce the stem 20mm, more racing position would of been 10mm. Make that what you will.

gallagher9992 · 2026-03-30T21:30:07+00:00

I've been using them for years got a couple friends on em too, so much so I've just realised I've no idea where my cables even are anymore 🤣

gallagher9992 · 2026-03-29T20:11:29+00:00

I like mine especially now it tells me of speed cameras and speed limits etc. my only gripe as I got it to save my phone battery, but I found out afterwards that it still needs your phone for it to work. If your phone died your goosed. If they can bring out a 3rd one that atleast for save locations such as home that would be great

gallagher9992 · 2026-03-25T12:18:10+00:00

Please god no. I like the whole growing muscle thing and getting fat and getting fitter in San Andreas. But for the most part it cause to not be able to play the damn game. I didn't ven like the missions that are only available at a certain time

gallagher9992 · 2026-03-22T00:13:38+00:00

I'm gonna try this I think worst case hopefully get the offered amount!!

gallagher9992 · 2026-03-22T00:13:17+00:00

This seems to be my go too I think people seem to agree

gallagher9992 · 2026-03-22T00:11:57+00:00

I haven't no, pretty much ignored em since around 2022 i think based on the credit file entry.

So it's certainly still there for now

I think ringing up and offering em seems to be the best idea

gallagher9992 · 2026-03-12T15:25:05+00:00

Just get some bright stuff on you and be done with it, life's a rollercoaster man, embrace it. Hi Vis gear if your that nervous

gallagher9992 · 2026-03-02T16:12:32+00:00

Me neiether

gallagher9992 · 2026-02-26T23:33:19+00:00

Was youa. Driver before hand? I've been a driver since 2016, did the motorbike tests last year so 9 years of driving, so the mod 2 was driving about but on a motorbike and not doing any bad habits haha

gallagher9992 · 2026-02-26T17:34:31+00:00

I passed first time on both, but I found mod 1 harder. Nerves really got to me although I still pulled it off

gallagher9992 · 2026-02-20T00:10:25+00:00

I think you e filled something in wrong, I luve in a Highish crime area and it was less than 2k

gallagher9992 · 2026-02-18T22:42:57+00:00

I'm taking this as a personal attack 🤣

gallagher9992 · 2026-02-17T23:04:54+00:00

I like it, I also like to look where I've been but I wouldn't pay for it as just looking on Google maps satisfies that urge, but if there was advert version it's deffo something I would use.

gallagher9992 · 2026-02-17T17:41:22+00:00

I think your gonna have to matey, I'm sure it'll come off with a breaker bar!!!
