Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Here you go a huge improvement over those horrid torx ones and for £2.39 a bargain as well
a few tips for those who might be a bit unsure about doing it
Do one bolt at a time
If the bolts you get are a bit long and you need to cut them down screw a nut on before you cut the bolt when you screw the nut off it will re-align the end of the thread so less chance of damaging the thread in the caliper
if you put any copperslip etc on the bolt make sure there is none on the end or it could hyd lock and not torque properly
sorry if that seems a bit obvious but i do know of one lad who took all 4 out and then wondered why he had a pool of fluid on the floor

Cut a slot out of the brace to clear the shock...
Should that be enough to clear the shock ol' wise ones?

Yes, that's fine, but check with one of the wise ones as well, just to be sure.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
