Hi all
Ok lest go back a bit to sat morning when fitting the new disc's.
1, there was no thread lock on the bolts that holding the disc's to the wheel ? (me thinks they have been off at some time?)
2, the pin's holding the new pads in were full of rust ? (why not give them a rub over when putting new pads in ?)
3, back of new pads had a bit of copper slip on them (all well & good why not on the pin's ?)
4, all pistons working well.
I cleaned up the calipers, cleaned up the pins, cleaned up the new pads, put thread lock on the bolts that hold the disc's to the wheel.
The test ride was a good one 200 miles ish around mid & south Wales. the wife likes the bike & we are hoping to get out today for a bit before the rain comes in ? Me think not.
The bike is working well.
I jest wont to say. I have been riding bike for about 25 years now & working on them for about 23 years as was so fed up with being ripped off by the shops. As this bike is still in the warranty i have to get them to do as much as poss.
I am so happy i did the disc's my self.
Thanks for your help with every thing we hope to meet up with some of you for a chat about the bikes when we are out & about.

There is a few unmarked cars around newtown but they always go out the welshpool way.
There is one to look out for a VOLVO V70 DARK BLUE CU11 CPE.

EBC should be awesome if they are anything like as good as their pads.

Poor guy, let him sort his rattle in peace if that makes sense.
I had to make a shed out of an old peat store, but then I do live in Sutherland.
Sorry for going a bit off piste.

Hi Mr. Finger, glad to hear it.
You have good good tarmac in your region by the looks of it, any Tuonos are welcome up here as I have wild roads on the NCoast. Unfortunately it looks as if we have frost tomorrow too....
