New Brake Pads

[Roden]

G'day all,

Since I got this bike the front brake has been pretty ordinary, spongy with no feel.
The pads still had 4-5mm left in them but the lever had way too much travel.

So, I put in a set of Ferodo Platinum pads and wow, what a difference!

The lever is now firm and after a bedding in period, the bite and feel of the front brake has improved dramatically, probably to the point where I don't feel a need to upgrade the calipers now.

It would seem that once the pads are half gone, its time to change them.
Oh and a big tick of approval on the Ferodo's.....

Cheers,

Roden

Wait 'til you try the 6-pots!

Just don't do what I just did & lubricate your calipers & rotors with 5W fork oil. I was really wondering why my 6-pots with brand new pads were feeling tired & squishy today, then later I noticed there was fork oil everywhere....

Cheers,
-Kit

Oops!

I lubed the pads and pins with copper grease and it all seems good. Had a good run yesterday and today and they got better and better. I really like the pads.

Hey Kit, did you sort the problem with top end performance?

Cheers,

Roden
