Rear Brake Leaking
Posted: 13 Jan 2008, 17:15
Guys,
I went out on my bike for a 5 min blast yesterday wearing jeans and trainers, but the back lanes were very frosty and i nearly can off twice so it was time for home.
I went in the garage today to find a small pool of brake fluid next to the back wheel. I've not had chance to investigate fully but it looks like a leaking seal on the brake piston (connections, bleed nipple & pipe are all dry).
When i rebuilt the bike the piston didnt look great but i chanced it.
It's never leaked before (3 months) so i have cleaned up and will wait and see.
What can be done with the rear brake? can you get a seal kit and a new piston? if so, where from?
Many Thanks,
