As I prepare to upgrade my S1 to R6 forks, I began preparing my fleabay brake calipers by disassembling and cleaning while I wait for the new caliper seals. And as luck would have it, one of the larger pistons has some surface damage:
The marks are toward the top of the piston. There is some drag when I scrape a fingernail across, so I need to do something. I might just purchase new pistons for peace of mind, but I also want to hear options.
If I were to attempt a rescue, I am guessing that a sanding / polishing would be in order.
So my question is: If you were going to try to salvage this piston, what would you do?
Thanks
