First thought is that I raced an SCR3 last season and the brakes were fine...

WD40 it great at getting the sticky residue of and it gives the paint a nice shiny gleam as well.

Yes it's something to do iirc the propellent they use in the can. But it does work.

the fact that it's fully of solvents helps as well... :) but at least you know it won't damage the paintwork.

I had a HUGE nail in my rear tyre earlier, and changed the tube in a record time of 4mins 36 seconds! Previous PB was just over 5 mins :-)

Thanks KR2 :-) One day it is going to come out handy when I puncture during a Tri :-) When I start road racing and cyclo crossing, I will have spare wheels to swap, so I will be a LOT quicker :-)

The other week I followed a guy who was braking by holding his foot on the back wheel! I guessed he would have no shoe left by the time he got home.
