now where did I put that Hi-viz ?

CLASSIC VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The shivering grasshopper has no food o...

Given all the work he did and money spent I think they failed to make the most of it, the saying ‘don’t spoil the ship for a ha’porth of tar’ comes to mind, a more through shake down would have revealed the problems they had in Germany and they would have been able to deal with them before they went...

Hi Kev put me down, plus 1 (little Chris)

Very interesting to hear what you have found. Not a brilliant idea though if you can reassemble the caliper out of alignment IMHO. As you say though, keep an eye on it, Chris. the 2 sides of the caliper are sealed with O rings and held together with M8 bolts but there are no locating pins so you ge...

all rebuilt, bled and back in use, got some cheapo kyoto pads to see it the disc will clean up, it's not warped and as minimal scoreing so it may be OK, but it defo needs to be checked and re-checked to ensure it is Ok, I'll probably change the disc anyway along with the pads just to be on the safe ...
