I made a boo-boo.
Rear hub needed to be tightened, didn’t realise this and thought it was my caliper sticking causing it to rub the disc.
Removed the wheel, pumped the brake a few times to push the pistons out, notice one side is sticking. Went a bit too far and the piston almost popped out, so now I have air in the system.
So I need an Avid bleed kit, my old one went all cloudy over time from having brake fluid in it and I didn’t bring it to Australia with me.
The price of the ruddy things! I can buy a brand new Elixir caliper, hose and lever for the same price as the bleed kit!
So now I have a caliper that needs bleeding, one piston freeing up, and I still need to adjust the rear hub! Do I buy the bleed kit, or just get a whole new caliper and save the hassle/mess of freeing up the old one and then bleeding it….
Only used the thing about 10 times in the last year, spend all the time on the road bike as its just easier. A new MTB trail centre type thing is being built though so will give that a go when its complete.
