Hmm that's something else I need to look into before the Stella. Noticed my rear brake is pretty crap at the mo, time for a change of pads methinks.

Dear Mr. Robster i tink you and me and both of us have no social live at all
cause whenever i am on here(work or home )you seem to be on the site as well

[Robster]

Well Mr Vader, my lovely Firefox internet browser on my lovely Mac at work logs me on to this and several other webpages automatically every morning, so I'm Logged on here all day every day though I may technically not be here!

Same goes for my PC at home which rarely gets turned off!

Saying that though, I really should get out more yeah!

When changing the pads, it is worth checking the movement of the secondary master cylinder mounted on the left hand calliper. Poor adjustment will affect the rear brake.

Bearing in mind that pad changes are not a monthly activity, I always think it is worth taking the long route - remove the callipers and give them a clean up at the same time.

Aftermarket pads have been known to have pin location holes that are a bit tight and can cause binding on the pin. This causes brake drag.

agreed in this instance the calipers are spotless and the pads are moving nice and free but thanks for the heads up
