Rear brake seals - OEM or aftermarket?

Post by Snod Blatter » Mon May 20, 2013 8:01 pm

Hi all, I'm rebuilding my rear caliper and am in the market for some seals. I like the look of this kit as it comes with the little rings as well, but has anyone had any problems using non-genuine seals? I know some are very poorly done and can let fluid past or not let the piston retract, but I haven't seen a kit with genuine seals that also contains the little ones.

Cheers!

For the record they seem to be just peachy, but the nipples that come in the kit are not the best. 8/10 Would recommend AA+++++ and all that :lol:
