Yes, but it would have to be a lot of runout to cause the pedal to go to the floor I think. Ulix Ulix __/__,__ ___/__|__ ..............................................(_o____o_)....<_O_____O_/... '67

I doubt if it is caused by excessive run-out, it has new front hub bearings, but I will check that. It has new brake components throughout (including disks) The only re-used parts are the M/C which I
