The wheel was dragging and not rolling smoothly, so we decided to crack open the caliper!
So we went ahead and opened it up.
It was pretty filthy. When you use it on the track and leave it as is, the dust gets baked on by the intense heat and won’t come off at all.
So we cleaned it carefully without scratching it.
The piston fit wasn’t too tight, so this time we just cleaned, polished, and reassembled it.
Since it’s not for racing, it has dust seals.
The piston is iron, which adds weight to the caliper itself, and we can’t choose the pad compound either.
Once we got the center perfectly aligned and reassembled it, the wheel spun smooth as silk.
All good, all good.
