Over kill.

It's worth while swapping the caliper seal every 10/15 years.

That retracts the piston. And makes the system work sweetly

Agree, we don't change ours until there are crispy bits in the bottom of the resovoir 😊. Saying that, most of our bikes have had the systems completely re furbed and rebuilt so we use DOT 5 silicone fluid.

Bradders:
I think Peter the previous owner overhauled the whole lot about 3 years ago. The Caliper etc looks in very good condition. I’m wondering whether I need to do it now, it was more the stuff in the bottom and the internet saying needs doing every 2 years that made me think I needed to do it?

I was most amused by the use of “matchbox”. Are they still a thing?

I dare say modern smokers can substitute their electronic vapourising device for the matchbox.
