If you’re really really lucky, there’s two o-rings making sweet sweet love on the caliper side of the bolt. Some hot young/old action.Quote:

Oof, I just had a situation where it took a few days to figure out why my new caliper and bleed were losing tiny bits of oil. One of those o rings got ever so slightly pinched in installation. Was very frustrating, and I was really glad it wasn't for a customer's bike.
wasted no less than 3 hours and 3 little stealthamig thingies before I realized I was putting them on the hose backwards. I had done is fine previously but for whatever reason f'ed it up this time. Even asked the experts for help. Then randomly looked down a a picture and realized what I was doing....
Is the rotor salvageable? It's DOT 5.1 fluid.
Rotor yes, pads no.Quote:

Oh yeah, pads are beyond fubar. Rotor is brand new though so it would nice to not have to trash it.
Don't give up on the pads. It's always worth trying to burn off the contaminación. Go to town with a propane (or MAAP, if you have it) torch. I've saved pads for way several times.
look at the floor not for what you droppedQuote:

My 75 pound daughter doesn't want to carry a camel back anymore. What are the bomber / easy solutions for a tube, CO2 ands tire levers to the frame? It needs to be kid proof and easy if she breaks down in a race, and I've never done this power strap thing so many of you do?
A bunch of companies make frame straps that'll hold a tube and have little pouches for tools / Co2. But depending on the bike (especially if it's small), it can sometimes be a little tricky to find a good place to strap it where it doesn't interfere with a water bottle / rear shock, and where it's not annoyingly rubbing on her knees.Quote:

I also am a big fan of the backcountry research Tulbag to carry multi-tool, inflater + 2 co2, patches, bacon strips, few $$, and spare chain link. Rotate through many different bikes and each has a tube, and the tulbag goes with me on every ride in a pocket.
I've got some sort of dakine strap I picked up off the road near a TH. I can get you a couple photos and it's yours for shipping.Quote:

Got one. Thank you all for your idiocy.

Pro-tip: If you skip replacing the cotter pin on your pad retention bolt, the bolt and your pads will eventually gain a sweet 'eject' function on takeoff. Don't worry, they're super easy to spot in the middle of the jump line.
Fack lol, last place you want to loose stopping power.
I just did the same thing this week! But fortunately the pads fell out while on a carriage trail riding with my kids at 3mph.

I'd much rather lose brakes on a jump line than most other places... But scary as shit none-the-less!Quote:

I figured there was no way I was going to find the pads and spring in the middle of the moon dust surrounding me. I found one pad, then my riding partner proceeded to find the other pad AND the spring! Many beers were owed.
One of these is not like the others, OCD trigger alert
When eyeballing your plank placement goes wrong, gotta improvise.
