oakworth jon Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hi, The front brake on my Evo 290 has gone very 'severe'. The lever is adjusted fine..there is a small amount of slack then the next micro-meter of movement brings the front brake to instant full lock. This is not how it has been up to now as it had a nice progressive feel. Any suggestions what may have happened and how to fix it? Thanks.

purple Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 check both pistons are moving freely in the caliper, if one is a little sticky it can feel like this (i had a similar thing or a road bike) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzralphy Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 If the pads are warn with a slight taper across the face this can happen. Swap the pads over LHS goes to RHS and vise-versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
