Alrite lads noticed today whilst cleaning the bike theres a small leak coming from the pop lock.
the circilp is ontight and theres no damage that i can see is it just the case of changing the rubber seal, or is there more to it.

also changed the brake line to braided due to one of them leaking.
i also store my bike using a hook so the bike is suspended vertical could this be the problem..
thanks paul

    Oh dear.
    it will cost you then. how much? should not be to much but i think it will be an order in part.
