Another joyous hydraulic brake thread

[rogerzilla]

I bought some Uber Bike yellow pads from the Bay of Thieves and they are very good (as well as being cheap). The original Avid ones got squeally quite quickly.

No problems in using this thread if you want @glasgowcyclist

Looks like my problem was a bit of brake pad contamination. Who knows where from but dragging down a few long, steep and fast off road down hill sections must have burnt it off as the problem hasn't been back *touch wood*

Sharp again from the first pull

Nearly every motorbike I service has to have the rear brake trailed when riding to bed it in and get adequate stopping power and initial bite.
