So much for an easy change job.:@ After struggling for 2 hour thats all i managed. Barely enough space to squeeze the old pads in. The only thing i couldnt do was take the calipers off. I couldnt even budge the bolts..Swollen hands didnt help either :@ Will anybody with more experience with be...

Thank you Rob, will make note of that. It does require a thorough cleaning. The rotor was rubbed a little but but luckily i found out as soon as that happened so there isnt any damage on it. Just some rust rubbed on to it. Ill post a pic once i get home. Cheers.

sweet. i managed to make a little bit of space between the piston and the rotor. Gonna try to take the calipers off tonight. Dont think anybody ever changed the brakes :@

what do you mean exactly by rocking the caliper back and forth. should I take off the calipers to push the pistons in. and will that work for the piston on the opposite side of the rotor? Thanks

Was trying to change rear brakes, and there wasnt enough space to put the new brakes in. Thought if i press and release the brakes and push it, id be able to make enough space. Big mistake, now the pistons are touching the rotors. Any idea how i can push them back in without bleeding the brake...

haha this happened to me when i picked up the bike from ken and was riding it for the first time 2 seasons ago. Called him and was like wtf happened to the bike..i didnt do anything and broke it..haha

Back home after a 20 hour straight ride from Waynesville (~1500 km)...Going to pass out now. Ride report coming soon.

Thanks gcrouse. I might pick up a set of tires while I am there. As for weather, it looks like a high pressure system is moving into the area so there should be plenty of sunshine. Well with mountains you never know, there might be pockets of rain but I am expecting it to be clear for the...

Its been decided. Camping it is!... 1 more day! Anybody know any good tire shop there just in case. Around roanoke / Gap area?

shanekingsley : Haha I was reading your ride report just before deciding to do this trip. I wish i could make it down to barber museum but I dont have enough time to make it there and back.. SV : Picked winchester as an arbitrary point. Figured more motels there. Are you taking the blue ridge...

Looks like we are doing similar trips! when are you planning on leaving?

Whoa nice. what is your plan looking like? Im thinking something along the lines of . Sofar nothing more than 500 km each day (except day 1 and 2) but on paper it looks more than doable. + so many side roads :O :O Been testing my gas milage recently and it looks a lot better once i realized...

looking good. be safe out there.

Sweet! Any input as to what the weather/ temperature is like around there ? As of right now, front royal is showing Tstorms for the next 7 days so I am not really sure what to expect :S

Congrats! Ill pass on something i learned recently. spend $3 and get a tire pressure gauge from wallmart. your tires will love you.

1200 km in 3 days is not bad. skyline drive speed limit is 35 mph (56 km/h) and 45 mph (72 km/h) the rest of the way. even at limit its 20 hours over 3 days so just about 7 hours of pure riding per day @ limit.. add another 5 hours for sight seeing/lunch/ stop and it sounds doable. ( or maybe i...
