Quote:Managed to Lose a bolt holding the Front Brake caliper on way to work this morningÂ
fooking scary noise and shuddering
So got creative for the journey Home20190924_143447.jpg
Ordered a new set from Fowlers
Must remember to double check that I've actually tightened properly ALL Bolts in future - cos finger tight is not enough
Â
FWR tyres in Kennington did this to my TDM back in 2002 after fitting new hoops and both bolts came out, brake caliper was hanging down suspended by the brake hose so when i applied the front brake the brake fluid followed the path of least resistance and did nothing to slow my progress thru a sweeping left hander with a buxom pillion on board so the boike stood bolt uproight and i took the chance of running across the curve and into a bramble hedge. The boike remained upright and we were fine but had to have us and the TDM recovered back to south London. I now remove and refit my own wheels.
