    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Front brake leaking fluid

Here is a strange one. One of my front calipers started leaking fluid once it got cold. The bike hasn't been run in about 1.5 months. I rebuilt the calipers over the summer and they have been fine all summer. Seems like it happened when it got cold. Amy thoughts?

The leak appears to be where the rubber boot (new) mates up to the caliper.

I would not think the cold would affect the seals, did you assemble the rebuild using brake fluid if so is it some that has stayed in the boot after assembly, was the piston unmarked or was there any sign of pitting on the surface? Are you seeing the master cylinder level drop?
