travelling with disc brakes

Hi
When i put my bike in my car i have to take at least the front wheel out.
What do you use to stop any leaks,if the brake handel gets moved,etc.

there shouldnt be anything leaking even if the brake lever moves.... i would check your seals and make sure they are ok.

Leaks? You shouldn't leak at all.

However, if you're on friendly terms with you LBS, then ask if they have any spare blocks to put into the calipers to stop the pistons from closing in case the level accidently gets squeezed.

Definitly shouldn't be leaks though.

Shimano brakes normally come with orange spacers to put between the pads. Anything similar of a few mm thickness would do the job though.

As said already, your biggest concern will be the brake lever squeezing and closing up your pads, making it hard to get your disc back between them when putting the wheel back on. Try to put a spacer between them and you'll be fine.
