lerk Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 So I bought some new boots to replace the ripped ones on my Beta. Pulled the old ones off and built up the new ones before slotting them in, but they don't want to stay fitted into the master cylinder. I've cleaned out the groove and tried various different positions, but they turn inside out and then pop out when I release the lever. Next plan is a spot of super glue - am I missing a trick?

totty79 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Be certain groove is clean, rotate boot several times to help it seat correctly before using lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dm1 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I had the same problem. I tried silicone but it didn't hold. Eventually gave up and used an old boot that I had attached to an old master cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdale Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 The standard master cylinders on the Beta are Grimeca, so make sure the kit you bought has "for Grimeca" on the label. I think that Jitsie and Apico have them so marked, then they will fit properly without the use of any glue! Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerk Posted March 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Nope, tried all sorts last night and even though I have the right boots fitted to clean grooves, I couldn't get the boots to stay in place for more than about five actions of the lever... super glue it is then!

worldtrialchamp Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Pin prick the boot....the air will release instead of compressing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
