2016 Genesis bikes have 30% off according to the thing that popped up in my Farcebook.

Might have accidentally just bought another bike, anyone have any tips on how to get it past the Mrs?

Is the same colour as an existing bike? If not, then no...

Easy trick for this one. Borrow a friend's bike, preferably the commuting beater/pub bike. Nip around a few of the local beauty spots with this bike and get said friend to take a couple of snaps. While Mrs Fantastic is out at work, sneak the beater into the bike room. When the new one arrives, counter any complaining about another bike with an offer to get rid of an old one. You then "sell" your old beater to your friend from whom you borrowed it. Any suspicions of fraud or mischievy can be headed off as you produce a facebook album that clearly shows you've ridden the bike loads while out with your friend.

Just topped up on brake pads after the nighmare grit and grime of the grey fire roads killed my pads up at Kielder using code UBER30 to get 30% off at Uber bike components

I put a pair of their kevlar pads in on the rear of my bike (Shimano XT brakes) recently. They're utter sh*te. Took forever to bed in, and even after all that work they still don't provide any sort of bite. Will try them in semi-metallic, and if they're not good, go back to the (insanely expensive) Shimano pads

Back when I was racing XC, I swapped brake pads depending on conditions. Kevlars were ace - but you had to bed them in properly (which I found you could only really do with the loading from the front brake, so had to bed in a set on the front, then put them in the back and get another set bedded in on the front).

I used kevlars when it was dry and dusty - you could make use of them properly then.

When it was wet, I'd swap to sintered.

These days, I generally run sintered.

That was my experience if it helps at all.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they would bed in a lot quicker on the front.

Try EBC sintered pads, bedded in properly they're the mutts
