Brakes

Definitely at the top of the list when thinking about the cycle parts.

Front brakes especially. Not the best even when new or rebuilt. They had new seals and pistons back in the heady old days of the late 90's before the Wasserbüffel Club trip in 1999.

Even then on some of the downhills in the Alps and Dolomites it seemed simply putting my feet down would have been as good.

So with all that in mind I have new caliper rebuild kits on order. These include the o-rings and gaiters for the bolts, as well as seals and pistons. 

I already have pads in stock and a master cylinder rebuild kit was ordered from GT Reiner long ago.
