Brakes work, but don’t feel what I expected, not as keen as I would think. Re-bleed done yesterday. Might just do it a few times and be sure I flush everything properly. Possibly I didn’t clean all the crud out or there’s pesky air bubbles.
Seal kit guys got back to my mechanics. They stand by it being the right seal, that it’s always user error; on the XJ you MUST MUST MUST clean every last bit of crap out of the cavities because the seal is a fraction (“microns”) larger than OEM and really squeeze it into place.
Of course, that’s what I did for over an hour just for the one seal. So they are sending out another kit just to be sure. Back off the bike goes the calliper.
In other news, this bmx-cum-pitbike thing really gets me.
