No, not yet - but they are getting much worse. I had to move a tree stump yesterday, and as soon as I touched the brakes, they locked on tight. First low transfer required in order to proceed.
I've just bought a new mountain bike, and the resultant stacks are happening - bit like when I first took up trialling all those years ago. So fixing the Series is taking second priority, as I've entered an MTB endurance race in 5 weeks time (only tried an MTB for the first time 9 days ago)
Biking sounds better for the health and wallet than series landrovering! :) I've now got a car that just failed its MOT to fix in addition to the landy. Now watch my only remaining vehicle break down too....
Motor Torpedo Boat?

Moun Tain Bike, I always thought - which is a bit odd when you think. Probably wrong.
I prefer ATB, or the French VTT (velo tous terrains). MTB is the Merkin version I think.
Healthier? not sure, I've got bruises & scars all over my legs already. But I've done lots of road riding in the past anyway, so I'm pretty fit for someone of my vintage. Wallet? You have no idea how much I've just spent on this new bike - lots of bling on it, like hydraulic disk brakes & decent shock absorbing forks. But the best fun I've had with my clothes on in a long, long time.
And yes, MTB does mean, for some reason, mountain bike. No, it doesn't make sense as an acronym, more of a contraction I suppose :)
