So I've always installed Ceramic pads on my previous Bimmers (5 total), but for my latest X5MCOMP, the options are scarce. And my preferred brand, AKEBONO, doesn't make any for this vehicle. After getting feedback from current owners, I purchased the iSweep set. They are substantially more expensive then any brand I've purchased or could even find. However, after witnessing just how ridiculously much dust and residue the stock pads were, I would pay $1,000 for a set, then deal with how messy stock pads are.
I'm happy to report that these have worked fantastic and provided near identical brake feel and performance. Oh and zero brake noise too.

Smart. Takes a round or two to get used to new irons.

Meguiars Ultiamte Wheel Cleaner is some real good stuff.

I use it on the paint to do iron decontamination.
Works like a charm and is half price of Iron X and alike brands.

Agreed. Works like a charm on wheels.
Never thought about that use. Makes sense though. I also grabbed multiple bottles of this while it was on sale. Very solid product too.

Sounds and plays heavenly. McPherson is not as widely known as Martin or Gibson etc. But their early guitars are way underrated. And the cantilevered neck never moves. It is an engineering marvel.

This is my second McPherson. Living alongside an R Taylor, Taylor Custom, Kevin Ryan, and the lowly but really solid playing old Yamaha.

I walked into that store expecting to buy a Gibson slope shoulder dreadnought. But once I had this in my hands it was a done deal. It smoked the Gibson and Collings I was looking at. It sits by me waiting for me to finish internetting and play some more.

Love it. Sounds like a great guitar! Congratulations!

Charge Pipe

Bought this Ryobi trimmer and brush cutter to hopefully be able to cut down the crazy bamboo in our back yard. It has already destroyed my chain saw chain so I had to buy a new one of those.

If anyone else has had experience cutting down bamboo with relative ease, please let me know! We are just trying to maintain it.

FrankMstein · 06-14-2024, 08:17 AM

I'd have to say that bamboo is a good 2-3 notches more than "brush". That is good for tall weeds with stalks <1" and tall grass that gets tangled in line. If you destroyed a chainsaw, this will be like building a house with toothpicks imo. How big is this bamboo???

I have no experience with bamboo, but I have used that blade. Wear serious eye protection and long pants. It throws a ton of shrapnel.

And don't use it on long grass. The grass will just wrap around it and get tangled.

Thank you for the heads up. The sizing ranges from brand new shoots which are golf tee thickness all the way up to quarter size diameter. Half dollar diameter are all the way in the back and those wont be touched. Just want to maintain the front of it and go back a foot.

Only two things have worked:
- A machete
- A red handle hand saw

Those take forever to cut through.

A few years ago, the machete slipped out of my hands and took a chunk of our my ankle and I sliced my wrist. It's pretty much the worst fuckin thing.

We tell everyone wanting to plant some to fuck it and get something else. Its a fast growing weed that is a bitch!

Thank you for the heads up! I haven't opened up the packaging and might return it.
