Yesterday I got the front wheel out finally. Bloody thing was seized due to the brakes.
Took the calipers off and this is what I found.
These are some of the most corroded calipers I have ever seen, full,of a yellow gunky sludge and corrosion everywhere.
Managed to salvage 2 Pistons out of four, will order new Pistons and seals today. Will keep the salvaged items as spares.
I will have to disassemble the master cylinder and clean it as well.
The brake lines are the originals and they will be replaced.
Does anyone have any suggestions where to get some braided lines from ?
I have hel lines on my other bikes but they are a bit hexy for this budget build.
The front forks are a disaster and I will remove, clean and service.
Everywhere I look there is mass corrosion.
I intend to start at the front and continue back.
There is a lot to do.
Stay tuned for more.
