Default Re: Trackday project K3

After finally noticing my rolling resistance was rather poor (Compared to my mates SV) I decided I'd finally get around to rebuilding a set of brake calipers ready for next season.

So out with the brake cleaner and dremel tools to clean all the bits up:



I've been watching plenty of rebuild videos so the bits went back together nice n easy even if one of the pots felt a little stickier than the others.

However I put the compressor on to see how they moved and decided it was alright and maybe a little dry without the fluid in yet.

So back together:



And for your bonus tip!

How to bleed your brakes in the comfort of the office:

1x Spare fork leg
1x Spare clip-on
2x Toothbrush to jam between the pads.

Hey presto, all done! (Don't worry I will check and bleed again in the New Year)





Other jobs for winter:

Replace the discs.
Replace the Radiator.
Refresh the paint on the Tank and Seat to remove gravel rash from Darley Moor.
