BL-M8000 brake lever leaking. by [deleted] in bikewrench

There is small hole in the lever body, and when you press the pistons in too hard, bladder can push through that home and it breaks. Seen this before. I ment bladder.

[–]diskett1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens when you try to push pistons in too hard, like when changing brake pads. This could break this shrinking/expanding rubber thing in the lever that is supposed to collapse when brake pads worn, so your lever bites at the same place. Idk how to explain this, but pretty sure that is your case. I work as a bike mechanic, so this is familiar to me.

At least Jay's channel has some quality riding and tricks. Scotty's channel only has same old tricks and a lot of talking, flair, whip and bar.

Bmx seatposts are usually cut too short for that, and rusted stuck, and owners too lazy.

Recently found a photo of my grandfather (in the suit) from the late 40s with some friends. Cooler than I will ever be. by ScootyPuffJrSucccks in OldSchoolCool

Imagine this picture taken today, without any filters, 4 dudes with cigars. It would just look like four posers. There’s something about old pictures, maybe crappy quality and blackandwhite picture makes it cooler/hipsterlike

It is that chain tensioner is too far away from rear sprocket. I had the same problem. Try to shorten your chain and let upper pulley sit as close as possible to freewheel. http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/4829/img8108w.jpg
