  • Brakes are back together!

    Put my rear brakes back together today after not having any for awhile (remember "How to extinguish a rear brake fire"?), and they work great! I got everything except the rotor as one assembly from E-bay, and Andreas came through with the rotor. The caliper even had brand new pads in it! After installing everything and bleeding out all the old fluid in favor of new, clean stuff, I took it for a quick test run up and down the street. PERFECT! Now I just need to re-train myself to use it again after not being able to for so long. I know my right hand is going to appreciate not having to spend so much time providing all the "Whoa".

    Thanks again Andreas!
