Nice. I've spent all day fighting with the brakes on my own bike. Managed to introduce air into the system when trying to lube the pistons. After doing that, I discovered that apparently the lubricant I used can destroy the rubber seals, so now I'm concerned about that.
On top of all of this, I discovered that the little R clip that holds the brake pads in has fallen out, which I means I have to drive to the bike shop tomorrow morning to try to get hold of another one. (Which will probably mean buying a new set of pads to get the bit.)
I'm supposed to be riding at 10.30, fingers crossed that the bike shop is open.
Crosswind technique: "Using your peripheral vision, react to body movements, gasps, groans, and shouts from the other side of the cockpit, and always remember that it's better to be lucky than good."
