I thought I'd finally get around to putting some brakes back on the old 29er xc singlespeed after giving those brakes to daughter's build.
Well fk me, turns out one of the xt calipers I got sent from some dodgy trader turned out to have a cracked piston!
Luckily I had another caliper with a cracked piston I was able to whip the good piston out of and get this bad boy back up and running. I've never stuffed around with calipers before, turns out they're good and simple.
I'll take the whole thing as a positive:
1- mmm hard and heavy has excellent garage tunes. I think I need a dab radio for work now
2- I can pull apart a caliper and get it back together, who knew!
3- I don't have a caliper with a broken piston to try and think of a use for now
4- the dodgy bastard I got this off will now have to know I've put his calipers on a 29er. Xc bike. With one hipster ass gear...
