Maintenance for Sick Triple Clamp with reservoirs? - ByronSobe - 08-19-2013
Just got my new sick triple clamp with the two built in reservoirs and don't have it installed quite yet but have been hearing a few opinions from local people who have seen it that having the reservoir mounted below the master is going to create air bubbles when the pads wear and it will be a constant maintenance issue with needing to re bleed it often? Sick Innovations site just says:
"Machined from 6061 T6 aluminum, our upper triple clamps feature a machined step down on the top which allows you to run your clip ons on top of the triple without lowering the front end of the bike. They also have Brembo mini brake reservoirs. You simply connect your brake hose to the barbs that are on the bottom of the triple and fill them up with fluid. **********PLEASE NOTE********** The brake master cylinder will have to be bled off of the bars and held below the triple clamp in order to bleed the brakes properly. If needed for dirt bike bars, you must specify in the comments field and we will drill the holes."
I was just wondering from anyone else who uses this if they have any issues with needing to re bleed the brakes often or if there is anything else I should watch out for with moving into this set up? Or like it mentions, if you bleed off the bars then it is fine for constant use? What has been peoples experience with it? Seems like a great concept just wondering if I should be aware of anything further before getting installed?
