Tis a pain, thats for sure......failing that, use a cooling fin for brake blocks, Matdub had one on a brake i bought off him, looked cool as well

Them copy mx spindles are dangerous , my 14 yr old son snapped his front one and wrapped it around the wheel , all he did was stop in front of me and it gave way.I think they are made of putty and not at all safe  :tickedoff:
Be carefull if you do change to the cheap £4 brake ones

Hi

I robbed the spindles from an NOS set of DC Bulldogs.
