Now for the question - should I announce where rich boy really lives?

What so the peasants can invade the palace

Palace schmalace.

Yeah, I got home ok with the brakes. I've had problems with them seizing in the cold and when I came out of the pub they were firmly on! Had a few problems backing my bike out and then had to take it easy until they warmed up. Very odd!

It sounds like your brakes need servicing sooner than later. Sticking pistons can cause overheating brake pads and binding. If you don't watch out you could end up warping your disks.

If you find your pistons are sticking and you indeed can't move your bike after it's been parked up, try pushing the callipers against the disk, do it carefully and not forcefully. This should push the pistons back in enough to free the pads from the disks.

If you can hang it out until the weekend then come round and we'll do them then. If you get the new seals before then and can get round to my house before then, all well and good, we'll do them as soon as your available.

Cool, thanks. The guy I bought from on eBay just emailed me to say they'll be delayed by a day and refunding my postage, so it might end up being Saturday in the end. Just in case, where did you get your seals from? Might I be able to buy them over the counter anywhere? (I doubt it)

Steve if you need brakes for a curvy ive got a whole set of complete callipers if you want them as in both fronts and a rear with brake lines and master cylinders. Front lots even still got the lever attached.

Hmm, very tempting if I can't get seals and sort them out, or if there's something more suspect with them. I'll get back to you! Thanks.

LOL...you're either sad, or really sad if you followed me to both houses.

Must have been a cold 45 minutes sat in the car.
