  1. I think its the first type of squeel although it still reminds me of the squeel you get when you spill fluid on the disc and contaiminate the thing. The leaking isnt that much of a biggy seeing as it only the reservior and its a nice long way away from my disc. Cheers everyone Im off to keep bedding it in seeingas its raiing ideal weather for it.
  2. Right there is no sticking problem now that was mystupiduty not seeing the rotro bolts loose and hitting the forks. The only problem now is the occassional squeeling from the brake which comes and then goes. There is a bit of leaking from the reservior cap but Im going to buy a new one soon as my one is worn
  3. The resersvoir was less than half full so Ive topped it up and adjusted the lever reach and now it seems fine. Although theres another problem I think. Ever no and again I put the brake on and it squeels then after re applying the brake for a minute or two the squeel has gone. This brake is confusing the hell out of me. It all seems ok now apart from the rounded bolts which I think I better replace soonish
  4. The sticking problem has gone it was losse bolts hitting the fork leg now its the lever pulling all the way to the bars. Im gonna top it up 2morra it may have something to do with the sanding the pads I think I took alot off judging by the state of the sandpaper. Maybe there was only enough fluid in the system for the amount of pad now theres less pad ther emay not be enough fluid to push the pads far enough
  5. How though, Hope rebled it for me and I hd the problems as soon as I put it back on. I avent used my bike since putting the brake back on to bed in.
  6. I just found out my rotor bolts were loose and hitting on the forks hence the sticking. Although I now have another problem the lever now hits the handle bar when I pull it in, it did it when I turned the bike upside aswell. Is this a case of there not being enough fluid in the systemif so I can sort that when I find a screwdriver to fit.
  7. Sorry should of explained the second leak as Dave pointe dout to me could be from excess fluid in the bleed nipple which I have sorte dnow and also the top cap being too tight which is also sorted. The brake brakes perfectly well better than it used to just I have some plumbers tape on a few bits now to prevent fluid going on the disc as a precaution. Il carry on bedding it in athough it is super sharp already.
  8. Im actualy not liking it now, this is based on the second picture.
  9. I just got my front mini back from hope to sort out a leak and I go and bed it in and have problems more leaking I sanded the pads and disc down and taped up the leaking part temporaily. The proboem now is when I pull the brake the pads stick to the rotor and require a little force to free again. I realy cant work out whats wrong Ive not put any glue on it and maybe my brake is just workingt o well its al a mystry to me. Maybe I have heated the pads up too mcuh and some has been left on the rotor I dont ahve a clue any ideas.
  10. you sure its raing in now and will be all day
  11. Its a ard country, gotta be tough as nails here even before all this bombing we were ard you scandanavian soft pot. :-
  12. Got a job within a day of applying today so maybe I have some good luck may go buy a ticket not long left of have i misse dit
  13. I juast sanded my pads down yesterday and cleaned my disc and bedded the brake in again. I must have got oil on it from excess in the bled nipple. So I also use dplumbers tap on the bled nipple and a few other places to stop any leaks. The brake sno perfect. What pisse dme off was it only jsut came back from hope the same day as it was leaking.
  14. Shame I missed that. The whole idea of me joining the police was that I can do good and then when im riding Ill get stopped and out I whip my badge and the coppers leave me or us alone. I went home early well 7ish when we were at the place opposite the clock tat wouldnt stop as my slow puncher was getinga bit too low for my liking and no one had a pump capable of pumping my tyre up

  16. No you dont get me if your rich and the insures know it then they will happily insure you knowing that you can pay for it and in the event of crashing your car you are unliky to claim on insurance as you can jsut go out and buy another car. In other words the insures are making mney out of you
