    How do I prime the calliper? Don't even know what that means ...
    Backfill it with brake fluid before you put it back on the bike, to avoid having to refill that tiny container on the handlebars many many times until all the air is out of the caliper.
    Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987

    Good thinking. I'm not sure what backfill means but would I pour fluid into the hole where the hose would connect whilst keeping the bleeder thing open to let air pockets out?

    The syringe idea sounds like the best but I don't think I've got any lying around, I'm just not rock'n'roll enough

    Yes it was a great day out, was surprised to find the roads still greasy and seeing little town cars trying to go up them

    You guys up to try the CCC Loop again.

    2nd weekend of October weather permitting, last year was a lot of fun.

    I want to try it backwards this time around.

    Runs between Blythe rd and Stoneyhurst rd North of Motunau. it is a public road however it does run through two farms and you can easily go the wrong way onto private property so make sure you use a gps to stay on the legal road.

    I spoke with one of the farmers and he didn't have a problem with people going through however he does have a problem with retards making a mess on the property which is fair call, I would be pissed off too, even worse he said one retard took a car up there, got in trouble and went back to him get the retard family out of the crap, he should have shot the retards and stopped the gene pool.

    One other thing to consider is lambing is just starting up there and your presence could be annoying, not trying to stop you going but just give consideration to the properties as a working farms and everyone will be happy.

    I know farmers can apply to restrict access at these times but if we all play nicely we should be sweet and enjoy a good ride with good views so take your camera too.
    Cheers Paul
