Ryan Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 I am now back on 4 wheels - woohoo! Many thanks to Fridge who came around this afternoon to pump a brake pedal up and down - cheers mate The studs turned up about 6.30pm yesterday, way too dark to start hitting things with a hammer. So, finished putting the hub back together this morning. Had a bit of trouble with the lock nuts for the bearings, but everything appears okey dokey. Got the brakes bled with the help of Fridge and his bling bleed tool thingy (stainless one-way valves and all that ) and I now have brakes better than they have ever been - going to have to be careful for a bit 'cos they are a bit sharp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxxter Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 This was quite scary. Fortunately bolts flew away just before I was going to test top speed on tarmac Those tires were new to me, first time on the road. And nobody checked if the beadlock bolts were tight. This time we had to use inner tube, because the tires were old and had suffered some damage. With tubeless you notice immediately if beadlock bolts are loose..
