Just to prove it is all down to personal preference... I think my current Avon Azaro 3 SP AV49/50 are one of the best set of tyres I have ever ridden on.

Mine has standard disks and standard pads and started to pulse at 6000 miles, they carried on pulsing until about 18,000 miles and now at 21,000 are pulse free.... go figure?

There is a little spring clip / split pin jobby holding the ball joints in place.
Pry this little clip out, mind it doesn't ping off never to be found again, and then just pull the ball joint apart.

Adjust the ...

Dave, are you going to use a vacum bleeder of some sort.
I have just invested in a compressor and I am now browsing the many air tools available :)

One of them is a brake bleeding kit.

Yep 500ml from max to min.
