There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Rear caliper question

Hope this helps and not hinders!
I have changed my rear pads (2015 Spyder F3) three times and the trick is to balance the caliper on a piece of wood or brick and to insert a pair of long nosed pliers into the two holes on the piston and to Push and Turn at the same time. I have noticed that if the pads are really worn then the piston seems to have gone beyond its thread and turning has no effect - you then have to support the caliper and push and turn at the same time. One time out of three I just had to screw it back in so I have learned the hard way!
BTW - I need a rear caliper repair kit - any ideas?
