Well, I did have to buy a set of tires (Bridgestone)
And brake pads.
One of the old brake pads was not made right and jammed in the caliper
rear one so didn't affect the braking much.
I just wanted to take them out and look at them.
First time I had ever seen an electrical wire connected right to a pad
Had to find something to do, as everything else is A-OK
