Re: 500 Strada front brakes.........
Thank you.
Is it still possible to buy seals for these calipers?
I have pistons.

Not normal
Funnily enough my key works fine, it's the kill switch that doesn't work!

Re: 500 Strada front brakes.........
Thanks again for the tips - I'll give them a go. I've just been looking through some invoices which came with the bike and one of the entries is "investigate front brake pulsing" but it doesn't look from subsequent invoices that it was sorted, unfortunately which is why the discs are knack...

Rear disc for 1978 500 Strada.............
My rear disc is heavily scored on both sides and Im not sure they'll be enough meat left on it if I get it skimmed.
If any has one, or knows of one for sale, that would be best but i do know they aren't easy to find.
many thanks
Tim

Re: 500 Strada front brakes.........
Good idea, I'll give it a go.
It'll be interesting to see what they and the piston bores and seals are like when they come out

Re: 500 Strada front brakes.........
I am frustrated with the calipers. I thought the brakes would be the easy bit which is why I left them til last! Anyway, where i'm at is that the pistons are sticky and 2 of them are stuck in. I've tried to get them out and I can rotate them but not remove them although one of them is half out. I've...

Re: 500 Strada front brakes.........
This looks like it might work - maybe add some penetrating oil as well?

They aren’t floating calipers- there are pistons on both sides so there is no fixed pad… Are you sure the piston in that side isn’t sticking and therefore not pushing the pad out? Some of the available seal kits are very tight in the caliper and can cause the pistons to stick, so even if they’ve ha...
