bing Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Has your mum got an ultra sonic jewellery cleaner? Leave them in that overnight if she has? Might be worth a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 My dad has an ultra sonic cleaner actually, to clean his bike bits... May give it a go. Picking up some racelines today, they better be working haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Haven't read the rest of the thread (sorry), but I would say the brake has been bled with DOT fluid at some point, therefore they are dead, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Ooh that's quite a believable explanation to why nothing is working, cheers for that reply Adam. Lever body should be fine though right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyBiker Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) you can change the master piston seal,but not the slave one(well,trying it would destroy it) so yeah get a new o-ring for your lever to be sure,then youll be fine. edit:tomorrow at work i´ll cut a slave in half to see whats really inside,intersting imo Edited May 31, 2013 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I imagined you coming out with that whilst wearing a surgeons gown and a clipboard in your hand haha. I have nothing helpful to add to this, but I was swigging a cider when I read this and nearly spat it out haha. Sorry to hear you've bought dud brakes man, can you contact the seller and ask for money back or were they sold as seen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
