Firstly, Ghostbikes are fab. Order placed Monday AM. Email confirmation yesterday PM with DPD tracking no. Email & SMS received this AM advising delivery between 13.46 & 14.46. As promised, everything delivered this afternoon just after 14.00. In the order was a set of Ferodo front brake pads which are now fitted to the bike. It's a while since I've done anything more complex than remove a wheel for a tyre change so minor sense of achivement. Thought I had a piston that wouldn't push all the way back into the caliper but no, they were just playing silly buggers and a bit of wiggling and waving of a big screwdriver got the bastard onto the disc. A hand guard stuffed with a rag made an excellent overflow reservoir for the fluid displaced by the thicker pads. I would've used a syringe but the fluid started to ooze out as soon as the screws were loosened. I should've remembered that the fluid was changed at a service last autumn so there would be minimal space for the surplus fluid to fill. The other thing ordered was a pair of FB textile trews for the forthcoming trip. Look pretty good for under £50, zip out liner, breathable & vents in the legs. Hopefully waterproof.
