Thanks for the reply. That's the general idea I've got from reading around as well. Seems like the best option.

Passed the promotion interview board at work, which i'm very happy about. Got offered a role that I wasn't expecting and comes with significantly more responsibility than i've had before. On the positive side it also comes with significantly more money. Hopefully I can adapt to the new role and maintain a reasonable work/life balance, as there's not much point in extra money if you can't enjoy it. Also, the bottom end of my Audi S4 engine has been built, i've rebuilt the K04 turbos, just the heads to do and it all goes back in the car. Sadly it won't be ready for our wedding in May. But that was always ambitious. I really can't wait to get it back on the road, it should be much more fun than the little Suzuki Swift i've been borrowing. And finally after a year out due to injury and getting fat, i'm back to climbing. Definitely not at the level I was, fingers crossed i'll shift some more chub and build on the strength i've got Definitely feels good to be moving in the right direction

Sounds pretty standard for those Echo pistons. The only recommendation I'd give is to source some Magura slaves (or ideally a full brake) and swap them out

New to trials and bought a second-hand bike with Echo TR rim brakes on the rear wheel. Advert said they should work with a bleed so expected the worst but hoped for the best. Bled with Shimano fluid and both slaves are now leaking from somewhere around the piston. Definitely not from the hose connections. Is any maintenance that can be done to fix it? Looked around the board and elsewhere but couldn't find anything specific on this. Thanks for the help.

That Lemmy top cap is ace!! Nice to see it out in the sunshine - get riding it
