But not ideal, so I picked up some new ones the other day and today I fitted them up and rebled the brakes.
First of all, isn't it great how you can just lean a trail bike onto an old tyre to give better access to the LHS?

Just like tying ya boat to the wharf... |
Anyway, here's the damage:
Fitting up the pistons was easy enough (I haven't changed the seals but have them in case they are damaged or decide to leak) but bleeding the brakes was a little bit of a drama until I worked out a much easier way to use my $12 bleeder. Hint, gravity is your friend...
The lever feels way beater than before and after a quick test ride I'm liking the feel. The brakes are possibly a little better too but still not stunning - I'm spoilt by the Connie and Tenere...
Fresh that sucess, I then attempted something else and also had a win - setting the clock...
Have you ever considered speed-bleeders to make brake bleeding ops simpler?
