Just a little pre-winter inspiration for your upcoming projects. Took my AT RD04 - 1990 calipers a part this summer and gave Them new life. Fairly straight forward. Be carefull with the bleed nipples and the pin cover screw. Can be seriously stuck. WD40 and correct size of screw driver is key.

Hello all, Recently purchased a 95 transalp 600 to give me a break from my daily drive Vivaro van. I didn't want to spend a great deal, just something cheap, reliable and could be used all round, all weather. When it showed up for sale on gumtree locally, I took the plunge. £600 bought me a...

Hi all, I have a 2008 Transalp 700 and most of my riding is in and around London including my daily commute. I got my brake pads replaced both front and rear about 7,000 miles ago. My rear brake pad seems to have run out and is squealing under use. The front one is absolutely fine. Does this...
