2014 4RT poor rear brake

O.K.  I ran my Montesa up and down the road for around 5 mins with the rear brake slightly on.  It felt like it was biting a bit better and the disc just started going a very light straw colour!

I then dowsed it with a watering can full of water until completely cooled.  This transformed the  brake and it now easily locks the back wheel on tarmac with only a light application of the back brake.

If fact it worked so well, I repeated the excercise on the front brake!  Again, it made a significant improvement.

Thanks guys. :-)

I hope this thread may come in useful to others with the same issue.

 

Bruce.
