Word of warning, after I got the Storm back, I decided on new rubber for the front. When the lad was putting the wheel back on the bolts holding the brake line to the callipers fell apart in his hand. He showed me what had happened. The bolts had been cracking for some time as the dirt was half way into the side of the bolt already.
The bolts were after market alloys, and if he hadn't rattled it enough by accident, it could have snapped at one of those inopportune moments where something silly like my life depended on it ! Beware of the alloys !!
You were very fortunate mate, your front tyre needed replacing! I must admit I did'nt know alloy banjo bolts are meant for racing bikes only, although after thinking about it does make sense, thanks for the tip,
cheers Chris.
