Does anyone know the thread size of the Blue Spot Front Caliper Bleed nipples?
after Sunday's LoFo ride I noticed that there was some seepage around one of my front caliper nipples coming from the threaded area, checked the bleed hole and it is dry.
I noticed it first last week so I pulled the nipple cleaned it, cleaned out the bleed hole in the calpier with a small bottle brush and brake cleaner, went for a quick ride and no seepage was evident. But after Sunday's 320 mile blast the seepage was back.
I did bleed the calipers last week and on Saturday, as I disturbed the brake lines when I changed the front forks, so I know the bleed holes are clear.
Want to change the nipple first to see if the seeping stops with a new nipple or if I'm into further work/expense.
