Now, fluid has been seeping from the Brembo radial brake master.
At the same time, the Brembo radial clutch master has started making a clicking noise.
Everything seems to go bad at the same time… I’m thinking maybe I should disassemble the brakes too… and that’s how it goes.
Back in the day, there was a shop called BSE (Brake System Engineering) up in Kamiike—that was a joke—
and they were a Brembo dealer.
Their genuine parts are super old. Since I can’t prove they’re current genuine stock, I’m going to do an overhaul myself.
They sell it? A thing called a spiral spinner—the customer sourced it for me.
You really want to be able to get repair parts easily. Peace of mind!
The O-rings aren’t supplied by Brembo, so we’ll use aftermarket ones.
I wish they’d sell them…
They’re styrene-butadiene O-rings.
I’ll check the dimensions on the new piston set.
The machining is beautifully done, as you’d expect in the 21st century. The anodizing looks like it has excellent lubrication properties too.
The old one has a kind of warmth to it—you can feel the handwork—which is actually nice in its own way.
Inspecting and assembling everything carefully really boosts your confidence.
After cleaning and drying. True to form for an anodized caliper—there was hardly any buildup, so cleanup was super easy!
That completes both sides.
The customer decided to just go with a new master…
Considering everything, we’re moving forward in parallel.
The customer picked it up, so all I have to do is install it.
Maybe I’ll try scanning that QR code sometime…
I forgot to order the mirror holder—a careless mistake—so we’re pausing for now.
I replaced the rear without overhauling it.
Considering the possibility of heel contact, I made the mounting bolts ultra-low-profile and slim.
This one’s on hold for now.
