tone Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Can anybody give me some advice on how to over come the problem of the front brake really fading when its really wet & muddy. I rode a trial at the weekend which I have to say was really sloppy horrible mud and at times the front brake leaver was nearly reaching the handlebar. now that it has all dried out it feeld fine. Any suggestions on how to eliminat such brake fade? Regards Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad4it Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Unfortunatly that is one problem that we all suffer from and there is nothing you can do about wet/muddy discs&pads= no brakes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstgear Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Front brake fade in muddy conditions is caused from mud packing into the caliber and changing the distance from pads to disc or causing the disc to fail to reset. This is in extreme mud I am talking. Find a way to clean your brake caliper asm out at least once a loop and it will help tremendously.
