pudrev3 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hey guys , im having problems with the back brake, It started to squeak when freewheeling , the pads seem OK and I've replaced the cylinder kit but it still no good , it will lock up but you have to press it hard , I've had it into a garage and they did the cylinder repair so they bled the system and cleaned it all out but still no good , I've ordered some galfer pads but don't really know what else to do so any help would be good cheers fellas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldtrialchamp Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 the water boils turning to steam. It removes oil and grime in the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 In other words bosh it till it works! Do yourself a favour pal , strip it clean it , free it off and save yourself some more greif later on First time I saw the water trick was when a former (Tommi)World Champion took a brand new bike out of the box. First thing he did after starting was the water trick. I have been using it ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
