UK_SPAWN Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hi all. Just blead my front trial zone and after rolling on the diaphragm and tightening everything up I hear a small hiss and tiny bit of fluid in the small hole on the reservoir (breather hole?) Is this normal? The brake feels ok even with repeted pumping. Is this just air trapped above between the diaphragm and lid? Thanks as allways. Mark This is where...

dezmtber Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 All should be ok with your brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_SPAWN Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Thank you sir. I did some more Googling and found a little bit more info on the diaphragm. A few people have said it's quite normal for a bit of fluid to show around the MC lid after a fresh bleed. I guess that hole is there for a reason Another little thing is, on my other lever (mono trial) the reservoir bolts had been round off by whoever and I can't get them free with an allen key I was thinking; Pliars around the side if the allen bolt but cant get grip. So... Knock a slightly bigger key in. Saw a slot into the bolt and use a flat head driver? Which one seems the best idea? Or have any others? Im going to order new bolts also (stan Ti probably) Cheers again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawing a slit is normally my last resort as the screw has broken on me in the past (More than once). The above can slot into the groves where the old allen should sit aswell as forming new grooves for extra grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_SPAWN Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 I have some of those and I have had a go but I need to remove the lever so I can actually hammer it properly.. Thank you for the info mate, appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
