Hi Everyone
This is Rajiv from Bangalore...I resumed my biking after 4 years...and for that I got a viper...
...Initially I thought of Merida TFS100 but to save some money I ended up with Viper...Sometimes back I was thinking that I compromised with the quality to save money, but then I came acroos this blog and "artificialindulgence"...
Seriously his expertise and experience is quite inspiring...I am really glad to know his confidence on viper...Still I m facing some issue with my disc brakes...as u may be already aware of the complains against service of firefox in Bangalore, so most the guys love to do the maintenance by themselves...but being new I am facing some problem for that also...my biggest problem is my front disc brake which is not working at all. I am happy with my suspension, but want to upgrade other equipments as you have mentioned...I want to know wher can I get those and how much I need to spend...cheers and happy biking to all

hey rajiv!!!
welcome to pedal power !!
when did you buy your viper??
recently?? in that case, i just wanna tell you that the vipers brakes have a long wear in period. just try ridin with the front brake slightly squeezed, so that the pads rub the rotor a bit. ride that way for a while, so that the pads wear off. you could also try sanding the brake pads and the rotors a bit. also have you checked your brake cable, do you have to squeeze the lever a lot for the brake to get engaged? if thats the case, just pull the cable a bit, and the brake arm too, and then tighten the cable, make sure that the pads dont rub the rotor. just leave a hairline gap in between the rotor and the pads.
do lemme know what happens
happy ridin !!!

whatever.. dont wanna tell the world my sob story ( i guess i already did!!
HAHAHA !!)
