Reliable Brembo Official Overhaul

It came back after about a month.
The calipers look brand new and I’m thrilled.

Brembo four-pad setup after a long time

The mounting method always looks a bit scary.
The concept of achieving this with minimal components is brilliant.

If the pin comes loose, it’s a one-way ticket to disaster, so I safety-wired it.

I’m in a hurry to test ride it in the morning (*´ω`*)

Installation and fluid bleeding complete.
After checking for leaks under pressure, we’re ready for a test ride.

It was warm from the morning.
Surprisingly warm for January—even summer gloves felt a bit much.
I completed the usual test route and we’re done.
