A little tip for everyone: Give your rear brake lever joint a clean with brake cleaner, or even WD40, then give it a lube with some oil, i use 3-in-1, every month, and it really makes a big difference as long as your calipers are functioning properly!Your brake will become very responsive rather than a little spongy.
What, on the pistons?I've always washed mine out with clean water every week and it's fine (so far)I wonder what WD does to the piston seals. I've got red rubber grease in the garage as well as brake cleaner but not had a reason to use it yet...Then, there's this weekend coming up
You don't need a rear brake,, use them twin disky things on the front,, stops you over braking.
I tend to be more front, but a little dab of the back brake to settle the bike just before going into a bend when your lumping along is quite useful , and it would be nice to have a good feel to it.
Will any other callipers off other bikes fit?
