No photos but on Friday I managed to install the front caliper and reverse bleed it. Fuck me is was it hard to keep the tube on. Maybe it was too long. Maybe it was too cold and stiff. Decided to replace the fluid in the rear while I was at it rather than wasting the fluid.
Haven't had a chance to go out to test it. Plus I need to give the discs a good spray of brake cleaner. But from wheeling my bike into a corner tonight they do brake. We'll see about spongeyness.
Fingers crossed for anyone else leaving their bike outside over the rest of the weekend.
Glad I have the shed. Suicide stand on the 125 was looking sketchy when I parked it in Avebury this afternoon. Also, saw a ‘71 Ural with sidecar. All original. Very chatty owner.
