  • front brakes

    I am not sure if any of you remember, but I had quite the time getting pressure on the front brakes after a master cylinder rebuild. I had tried everything, I finally got pretty mad and just about dumped her in the river. I let her sit for a week and a half b/c of rain, weather, and just went out and felt the handle, I have front brakes now!

    Do you think that a big bore kit would just install itself if I just bought it and left it under my bike for 2 weeks?

    Hey Travis, it'll install itself find if you send it to me.

    Sometimes the air bubbles in the lines "rise" to the occasion by themselves...

      I found right away (at least with the front) that the easiest way to breed bakes is to poor in the fluid, open the bleeders, and drink a beer while you watch and refill the reseviour. Perfect, airless bleed every time.

        Sounds like you've already had a few too many beers, just how many poor sets of bakes have you breed today!?!?

          My new part time job, I am going to breed xs11 brakes and sell the offspring on ebay! Anyone know how to tell if I have male or female brakes? They have been such a pain, they must be female.
