HELLO EVERY-BODY

Hi Doctor Nick..

ANYWAY. I have in my posesion a set of braided hoses. I am officially moving to Bristol this weekend SO...

Back to the original question.

Anyone here know how to change the hoses, replcae the fluid AND bleed these and is willing to help me? Over the next weekend or two? I know about the brake fluid absorbing fluids from the atmosphere so if it's wet I'll wait for better weather.

I remember those photos

what a pair

01-03-06, 07:27 PM

yup that looks like rupert

whats going on with the wheels on that pic though, the back one looks really black and the front one looks charcoal but with a polished rim! anyway they are both charcoal now.

im afraid the bikes currently dirtyer than that and the downpipe needs attention (which will be done as soon as my fingers dont drop off when i go outside!

just need to find my bro an sv at a reasonable price now! (s or naked...HINT HINT...anyone got one for sale????? pointy please)

I'm a bit busy this w/e but next week's probably free. If you're interested, we can sort it out nearer the time.

As for cheap SVs, George White are advertising a brand new K4 SV1000S for less than 5k

You sorted those brakes hoses yet or wat?!

Had my bike serviced on Friday & can't believe how much better my brakes feel having had the calipers cleaned & bled. Really should do it myself more often...

I gotta clean my brakes again shortly, as well as bleed the buggers... still got a few things to do and get done before I can start racking up the miles again.. going to be fun.. first time to bleed brakes... wel, if I mess up.. I'll find out soon enough!

I'd definitely advise having an assistant. Whoever you trust the most takes responsibility for opening/closing the bleed nipple & keeping the end of the tube submerged in brake fluid, the other for applying (light) pressure to the brake lever. A few cycles of open, close, reapply lever should see the job done. (should!)
