ttmoore09 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hello again (expect many more questions! hehe) Okay so today i setup some basic home obstacles, 2 foot rocks etc, (first day ive ridden trials), im clearing them easyily.. Ive been trying to work on my hopping, watched a few videos etc, Im just wondering, when you apply the rear brake do you put your whole weight on the rear brake? Because when im trying to do hops, i hold both breaks and when i pull back the wheel turns... so either my break pads are worn or im not holding break enough. To get the wheel to completely lock up i have to apply so much pressure that the break is maxed out, is this a sign of pad wear? or maybe cable needs adjusting? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregoday Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I would have to say yes to brake pad wear if it almost max stroke of the pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
