Been Around the Block
Im about to tear into my forks in the next couple weeks. I am going to replace the fork seals, but while it have everything apart i want to take care of everything else while im there. Ill be painting the forks, painting the front rim (rear later) replacing wheel bearings, brake lines, speedo cable. Painting the center section of my disk and possibly having the disk resurffaced and getting some new brake pads too.
On to my question.... since im doing all of this i figured i would also re-build my caliper (or do i need to).
Is this a must do? I plan to paint the capiper too, so if i need to or should re-build the caliper, i figure now is the time.
My question is... Do i need to re-build or not? front brakes worked, though not great (might have had some fork oil leaking on them) before i started taking the bike apart. how do i know if i need to re-build? What do i need to do? and what is involved? I am prety handy with a wrench on cars and trucks, but havent done bikes before, what should i know or be looking out for when i dive into this? or do i event need to???
Help Please!
