Re: POSTPONED Yorks cruise Saturday 7th June

Sorry guys but I have to postpone the cruise due to bad weather forecast. If it was just damp I would go for it but it seems like we may have some very bad downpours and it will be no fun.

Please advise alternative dates that will work for you - how about 2-weeks in on 21st June?

Re: New caliper seals - how much piston movement?

The piston should push into the caliper body more easily than it can be pulled out. Thats a feature of the seal shape which is designed to pull back the piston a bit when foot comes off the brake pedal.
