Tire now fitted and wheel back on
Sorted the seal on the front caliper and the front end is now done
Will bleed the front brake up today and once my rear pads turn up I can do the rear aswell
So that's the front and rear done now to get the middle sorted

Finally getting somewhere !

Great to see things moving forward - doesn't matter how long it takes as long as your happy with the build. Takes me absolutely ages and ages sometimes to get things how I want them to be - whilst juggling all the other stuff life throws at you!

Please keep the thread moving including the pictures as you go along and best of luck for an 2012 outing / showing !!

Assuming you have all the air out - what is condition of front brake hose?
I had this problem on one of mine that had been built up from old parts. It turned out the rubber hose looked ok and worked but had some give which made brake lever feel spongy. Only knew difference because I swapped it for another old one that I had knocking around.

Hope you Suss it out Rolling Eyes
