DR ◣◢ Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Im running a set of these on the SS. Tested them before I bought them secondhand and there appeared to be nothing wrong with them. I replaced the pads and had some difficulty pushing back the pistons on the front. They eventually budged and i was able to slip in the new pads. During my first ride with the bike I noticed the front brake not bein as sharp as I would like it to be. At first I thought this might be the combination of a new pad and the new disc. Towards the end of the ride the lever however would bottom to the bar and then get firm again. The brake also started howling a bit. Pulled the pads today to sand them back a bit and they were drenched in brake fluid. Not cool. Im worried about the leaking. Also noticed a small bit of brake fluid in the overflow bit at the side of the reservior on the levers. Did I buy a dud or will a good service help. Who can do this for me?

TheV Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Can't believe that it's a dud... Would suggest you get someone to strip-it, clean-it, check-it, and bleed-it.... Edited July 15, 2012 by TheV

TheV Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Any suggestions as to who I can use. Randburg area would be great but I dont mind traveling a bit. Randburg area - can personally only suggest Linden Cycles or Mike Bikes. Or you can just pop around my house, we can have a quick look-see for you....
DR ◣◢ Posted July 15, 2012 Author Posted July 15, 2012 Had a bit of a run-in with Linden Cycles a few weeks back. Worst service ever. Will let you know how my week goes.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Or you can just pop around my house, we can have a quick look-see for you.... Maxxis, don't fall for this tactic by the V! He just wants to lure you in so he can fondle your schpongle!
