Re: BrakesSat Tara,
No .. I don't think you are missing anything. Thomas said that when he
released the lever he gained measurable daylight/clearance instead of
just seeing them relax somewhat. He also noted that with the stock
setup he did not get this, (clearance), only noticed them relaxing. He
is right .. he has already stated what the problem is. This excessive
clearance opening up when the bike is sitting still indicates that no
pressure is being retained in the brake lines, (usually the function
of a check valve device ... but you must have something to preform
this task .. otherwise there is no reason why the pistons won't
continue to open up even further with vibration etc .. and require
ever greater piston travel to re-apply the brakes etc). I think that
if Thomas put his stock calipers back on at this point they would
behave the same way.
