So I can't really fix my bike, and most jobs more complex than a tyre change leave me so physically furious I want to drive an allen key into my own leg.
But I took a deep breath, (after checking I wouldn't need to do my own bleed) and removed old Juicy 3 brakes before fitting new Deores front and rear. Minimal swearing, all tools and parts present and correct, and they seem to work.
Just had to share that. Thanks.
Next step - plucking up the courage to shorten the hoses.
Timnwild - you sound like me! However through stubborn perseverance I have now progessed to rear hubs and am even considering next weekend stripping a set of forks and servicing air springs! No doubt reality will sharply intrude minutes into the procedure.
Braver than me. But good luck.
just cut a bit out the middle and gaffer tape the two ends together tim 😉
I knew it! (starts for shed, purposefully)
