Ok, all finally sorted, bike collected today. The problem?

The 'cheap' replacement lever!

Turns out, it was badly made and kept the master cylinder permanently compressed (albiet only slightly)

A slight modification, three weeks without the new bike, a litre of brake fluid and £60 later and all done!

Oh, did I mention that the recovery firm's pickup vehicle badly damaged the front tyre wall and now I have to arrange to go and get a new one (paid for, furtunately)

It's a laugh, innit

Oooh - think this has happened previously with a cheap replacement lever - I've an idea it was Pierre that had the problem.

This is a worry and potentially extremely dangerous.

I think it was Pierre.... down the back straight of a track if I remember correctly
