See out the old year by changing the brake fluid. Some horrible gunge in that master cylinder.....
Onto 2016 (Happy New Year everyone) and spend a day in bed for over exuberance but today tested on how the fluid changed fared.
Seems I put the piston side pad in wrong way (pads on piston
), no idea how I managed this, still no harm done thankfully.
Last roundabout just less than 1/4 mile from home I hear some clinking and clanking and something breaking then the bike engine stops.
*?!!$$ chain (7500 miles) now snapped. Inconceivable! Believe it was the link but not fully inspected yet. Thankfully my neighbour was driving past and helped me push up the hills towards home. Chain now bunched up at the top and hanging from the bottom.
