Mechanic Monday, Brake rebuild kits

Mechanic Monday. ... Tip of the week. If your bike is a couple years old, you can recover some brake performance by installing a master cylinder rebuild kit. These kits are easy to install. The assembly is usually held in with a single circlip. On some models the new rubber piston can be a challenge to install so simply warm it with a hair dryer to make it more pliable and it should slide into position.
