It's been a long time since the last session. Various commitments, a rain that punctually appeared on the horizon every afternoon and mechanical problems with the bike, finally resolved even if with some difficulty, forced me to postpone day after day. But now we are here, we did it!

First of all I will tell you about these mechanical problems. It was about the rear brake pads that I had to change. The problem was related to the disc brake caliper: unfortunately I found that the mounted brakes use a system based on a type of oil that absorbs moisture excessively. The obvious result is that the pistons can not fit perfectly in place (due to the additional volume caused by the water present in the system) and therefore there is not enough space between the disk and the pads. In short, it has to purge everything and, not having a mechanic available nearby (I have never done the operation so before trying I have to inform me better) I decided to re-mount the old skid system. Not bad at all! It will seem absurd but I found it better. With this system I can measure the braking more precisely because it is less reactive and less abrupt. With the rough descents we have in these parts it is very important to have an extremely efficient braking system, so before going too far, I preferred to take a little test ride.

All right then, but I expect to have some more reassuring feedback to change even the front one. Below is the report of the session (to which I also added the 3 km test) and as usual, some photos.
