[1May MTB exercise good to go...?]

Amped to get riding again, can at least get to Southies at a stretch.

 

Just to clarify, do we need to wear a face mask while cycling as well? If we have to, a buff will probably be the best bet?

 

Either way, it will be solid altitude training with the facemask/buff

I have a Deore caliper that should do the job, if it does you can take it cheap cheap

That would have been perfect. But I've already arranged with someone on the marketplace for an SLX caliper

If you haven't been to Williams in SW, go there. If you have and Darren couldn't fix it, replace the caliper.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll pay him a visit

Find a decent mechanic then. Unless you're well trained in research and willing to throw unnecessary money at a problem, Google and Youtube are not your friends.

 

Where are you based?

 

Edit: I realise that may sound a bit harsh, but having someone to take over when you run out of talent is invaluable when you're learning a skill. If you're lucky said mechanic may share insights into the issue with you so you can sort it out next time.

 

Not harsh, I agree with you completely. I've taken it into 3 different bike shops, and each time they tell me it's fixed, and each time it is not. This is largely the reason I've stopped seeking professional help for this issue.

 

I'm based in Stellenbosch

Also, leaking from where? If it's from the shut line between the two caliper halves you'll either need to tighten the bolts that hold the castings together or replace the o-ring between them. If it's pistons, new caliper is the right call.

 

I'm not entirely sure. My knowledge on bike mechanics is limited, and researching the topic lead me to believe it's not really a fixable item. I'll try and see what I can figure out where the leak is coming from

Hi guys

 

I have a leaking rear caliper on my 2010 Anthem X2. It's a M775 Deore XT brakeset, but getting a direct replacement seems impossible (and impractical). There's currently a SLX M7100 caliper on sale.

Would this be a simple swap? or would there be compatibility issues with housing, etc?

Where do I need to start to check for compatibility for other calipers?

 

Thanks!
