    @Bananper Check all your lines and look for evidence of a leak, if it isn't from your master cylinder or hydraulic lines then dismount your brake caliper and check it over.

    @finnerz89 @Calum it's not possible to get the other part (not sure what it's called) off the slider, tried knocking it off with a hammer but it really won't come loose... Never experienced something like this. I don't really want to risk breaking the part of while knocking it off before i know of a caliper that's available

    I found that buying decent pads on my bike made one of the biggest differences to my riding, not only is it safer, it's actually faster. You can brake later than the competition, and a lightweight small cc bike, that's how you keep up with the big boys!

    It could be the carrier, either way get it cheap and it's a cheap fix regardless.

    I use the cheap ebay cnc shortys on all my bikes. My dt125, wr250r, xt550 and xt600 all have the same type levers. Some slightly modified. So if its about the same type/shape, it should fit.

    Yeah, I did exactly the same... I did not change the piston, I just used light sandpaper to take all shit away... Then I reassemble all togeteher with new rubber parts and thought it would be an easy job to put new pads while I have it in my hand But by doing you will learn

    I thought they were PROX pistons. But maybe it is Pro x. I always use Wossner but have used Mitaka without issues.

    @Jens-Eskildsen Yeah I know what you mean and I'm sure you are right. I suppose it's just an area where companys can make extra profit knowning how people feel about "more money meaning better quality". It probably isnt any safer or less likely to have issues but it's the name and brand and the big boys on race bikes that have invested in branded companies like HEL that make us happy to pay for it. Yeah on that offer it was 50% off all online orders. So it was £29.99 per set ( £60 for both) but then 50% off bringing the total order back down to £29.99 which was a total steal. Meant you can get HEL quality lines for less than the cost of unbranded. Now those are the deals I like!! You seem like a very clued up guy so hope you don't feel like anyones putting you down for putting an opinion across. I personally value anyones educated opinions and experiences, i see it as the fundamentals of a progressive society, but hey lets not get too deep here, this is bikes!
