Made by Skyteam...one of the better Chinese bikes, but United Motors left the US, so we lost our Skyteam enduros. Welcome!

thanks, i have only had it a few weeks but not ridden it much cuz rear brake doesn't work. i have completely disassembled and cleaned it but still won't build any pressure.

think i need a rebuild kit, but can't locate one.

Looks like much more fun than a log splitter. Welcome to the forum!

yes it does, especially considering i not started that splitter in 7 years! and it takes up less space... which is always a good thing.

thanks...

What part of indiana? Im just over the border in il near chicago...

My guess on the back brake is probably a bad seal....

Hey from another IL rider.

Brakes would be more fun to work on if it wasn't for brake fluid. Do you have a close up of the rear master?
