guy Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 well i put my RB lever on today and it was all going fine bled it well and everything but when i pull the lever water leaks out of the allen key screw in the lever. i think it is to do with the little ball, but i dont exactely know what it does i have only vaguely heard about ti. any help would be great guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-king Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 it's a bearing which sort of acts like a seal. it has to be used, otherwise fluid will leak out from behind the bleed bolt, which is pretty much what you have described (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 I dont think guy (who sent you the lever i assume) knew that bb was important, he was telling me on the way to the post office yesterday, how "some fool had jammed a bb in there for some reason" (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-king Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 "some fool had jammed a bb in there for some reason" :- ← lol! :lol: o well, easy mistake to make i suppose! when i bought mine 2 years ago, supercycles told me about the bearing first. now its just leaking from other places! :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 If your LBS is even half-way decent they'll have a load of different bearings out back. Take your bike in and see which ones fit :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aust Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 or just scrap it.. rb levers are a waste of time... just use a normal hs 33 lever :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Nick one from an old headset. That's what I did. If you can't find one, drop me your address and I'll put one in the post, but they're easy to find anyway :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
