No point in saying DIY as I tired this afternoon front is a bit better not much and back is worse.
Don't have any patience for this should work as not that hard :roll:

Watched youtube videos got the right kit.

Looking at bike shops one charging from 25 quid sound a expensive.
What should I look to pay/

Thanks

Tektro Auriga Pro. I watched this http://youtu.be/LhKKe6av-0U
I think their the best brakes on the market

Like most other brakes.... In principle.

What's the problem then Spence???

Thats a fairly bad video
no explanation of getting air out of the syringe or use of bleed block.

Ta for offer tomibiza no were near harlow.
nwmlarge Video I turned syringe up and taped it to get bubbles out.
Still getting a fist off of movement must be air in tube.

Edit: Have put new pads in still lots of moment. Plastic tube came off syringe yesterday ho ho so funny!

Normally £10 per brake. the tektro brakes have a habit of shrinking the seal under the top cap so make sure its not leaking from there first.

Asked at CyclesUK £18 per brake :shock:

Anyway VW popped over to fix looked like a lava lamp with all the air running out.

Getting good at messing thing up now

Glad it got sorted
my first few attempts with some hayes 9's were terrible

The main issue with it was the pistons coming back too far, great for clearance, poor for lever movement!

If they go back too far is that not worn pads?
