Just like the title says. who's got a good source for them? The ones on the 242 are thrashed and i'm afraid bits may have gotten stuck between the piston and pad when i put new pads in. getting nasty pulsing i didn't have with the old pads. rotors and pads were worn nice and evenly.

stuck pistons wouldn't cause pedal pulsing - only warped or heat damaged rotors will do this.

Brad can get 'em for you thru his Altrom account. Not terribly cheap, but they include piston seals so you can do a complete caliper rebuild and make sure the pistons are not rusty.

And if you use air pressure to pop the pistons out of the caliper, do not put your fingers between the pistons... :shock:

Ask me how I know this... :oops:
