Re: front calipers and inner tubes

Cheers Lambo, yeah, that does ring a bell, I might actually get round to doing something about it eventually, probably when the latest banana caliper
gets too rattly, 'till then the banana will lock the wheel (front or back) on demand, they just always feel a bit wooden and weigh a ton.
Ride safe,
J.

Re: front calipers and inner tubes

Rightyo new tube in and after the fourth inflation the tyre sits nicely on the rim, now off to halfrauds for some black touch up paint cos ive chipped my rim (oooh sounds nasty ) quick investigation of brake calipers, they are sliding quite nicely so where is the problem, under closer inspection i see molegrip marks on the caliper pistons, has this occured before i wonder?

so it looks like new calipers anyway, couldnt find any brembos but apparently tokico six and four pots fit ... has anyone got something more definate on this?

has anyone got any suggestions for the interim?
