Re: Brake overhaul, what bits?
 
nope - I ordered the bits just over a week ago and they have turned up along with some new fork springs so I have in a box in the dinning room:

front and rear braided hoses
new pads for the front
new fluid
bolts and cooper washers
THREE lol stainless bleed nipples (my fault for guessing and not looking)
but no red grease

Now all I need is:

A: the balls to give it a go myself and not do it wrong and kill myself on the first ride
B: Pay someone to do it after Christmas

:-)

You shouldn't have a problem just engage brain and take it easy, there's a few threads (pretty recent) on getting the pistons out and cleaning them up and even more threads on bleeding up the brakes. The inbetween part is just cleaning your calipers, peeling out your seals, cleaning some more and inserting some greased up new seals. (you can also pull the calipers apart ; the bit that bolts onto your forks and the piston housing goo idea to degunk and regrease the shaft)

Thanks Neeja, that's very much appreciated. If you could then any time that's good for you really?

Ta m8, I'll PM you my address and number and Saturday is fine for me if you have nothing better on, just let me know.

Whether or not I have anything better on depends on how my date goes on Friday night.
