Lately, new infection confirmations in the evening haven’t let up. . . . .

The numbers are getting pretty sharp, but I think there’s nothing we can do except raise individual awareness. First priority is yourself. Health first! Let’s go with that (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This is a Nissin 4P 30-34 caliper. Since it’s anodized, the work goes very smoothly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Released by Advantage, this aluminum piston and seal kit is a lifesaver.
The lubrication system is anodized with a smooth surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleaning is done quickly.
I can’t write about it yet, but I recently discovered that using a certain chemical really helps remove caliper dust.
I’ll look into it properly and report back later (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’ll give it a light bake in the oven and assemble it completely dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Seal inspection is complete.
Next, as usual, I’ll use CCI metal rubber <\/a>and the OH is done (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I lifted the front and fabricated our shop’s understated stainless steel brake hose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A gentle curve with a simple layout is best, I think (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a bracket to secure the TEE FIT. Fixing it with cable ties makes the surrounding area messy, so let’s secure it properly like the factory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The layout is pretty tight. Did you know that laying out off-the-shelf finished brake hoses neatly is actually the hardest part?
Even with easy-order options, it’s still difficult. Fitting to the actual bike is really the best way.

Is it okay to bolt-fix Delrin? Even at 10N or so, it loosens easily, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was thinking of putting in a sleeve, but there’s barely any meat on it. So I decided to use thread locker for drop-out prevention instead. Too bad (\u03a6\u03c9\u03a6)

The cover thickness differs between the 750 and 1100\/1200. We need to make a spacer for the difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t make it stepped. No round stock, so I ended up doing something really wasteful\u2014machining from 20mm. . . . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tooth count (outer diameter) is different, so we’ll convert it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The offset is no problem either, so we’re good (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a conversion harness. I panicked because I couldn’t find the generator-side connector. . . . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recent epoxy recommendation is this one! Strong against pulling forces! 3M 2082C <\/a>and I’ll apply it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bar-end fixing screw is M5 but I got M8, and even if I thread it, the weight doesn’t change much. . . . I’ll put this on hold for now (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce
