vinny.p Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Well my new lever and bleed kit turned up today from tartybikes, very pleased at how friendly they were and how fast the delivery was, i bled the brake myself using the instructions on wiki and it worked perfect first time no trapped air or anything, and i didnt over tighten the lever so its still in one piece.Heres the old one....And heres my shiny new white one.....As soon as it stops raining ill be straight out to give it a proper test, cant wait!!!!

vinny.p Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 just add i tiny bit of anti-freeze and it will be fine through the winter.I already thought of that , i was also a bit concerned that it would not get proper lubrication without the oil.

stuie Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I already thought of that , i was also a bit concerned that it would not get proper lubrication without the oil.well all the people that i ride with in the NBR CYCLES team all run water bleeds and i thought the same as you but they had no problems so i thought i would give it a go and its one of the best things i have done. feels so so much betterx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawnmowerman Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hmmm well you've probably over tightened it. I've stripped one before but that was easily fixed with a helicoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
