Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Brake Pad spring question
Hi, did my brake pads ,on front the lever was spongy. so I heard on hear that it was probably the spring was up in front of the caliper piston ,and it was so I fixed it and the lever is good now. if I push down the spring thing to get it to clear the piston the outer pad sat on the bump of the spring is that ok ? does anyone have a video on how it goes together ? after riding alittle my back brake makes noise -chatter when applied could that be the spring also? thanks for any help

Re: Brake Pad spring question
Your chattering brakes may be because of this problem.

Re: Brake Pad spring question
Thanks ,I checked the retainer /spring seemed ok ,greased the slides there ok, cleaned the caliper piston worked in and out seemed ok . I used organic pads Still making a little noise ,could it be they just have to break in ? I guess I should try to change the fluid ,do you guys empty the fluid totally or can I just keep adding fluid and bleed it till it comes out clean? thanks for any help

Re: Brake Pad spring question
I always remove most of the fluid from the reservoir (leave a little above the intake hole so air is not introduced), add fresh, then bleed until it comes out clear at the bleeder. Make sure all the air is out.Bulldogx11 wrote:do you guys empty the fluid totally or can I just keep adding fluid and bleed it till it comes out clean? thanks for any help
