dann2707 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Have you filed your mounts flat on the frame? Is there quite a lot of pad wobble in the Cousts?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikee Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) It happens when you drag your brake. When you put on the brake while rolling, the pads gripping on the rotating wheel causes them to flex and wear unevenly. CNC backings will help.

dann2707 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 On my phone it's hard to tell haha. I'd say they're being dragged in at an angle due to the wobbbbbble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsiain Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 hmm, ok thanks guys these are the only pads i can use unless i get new rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxx Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 It's "normal". It's the pads and the mounts/clamps which flex when you brake hard on the front. All people I know with front HS33 have more or less this problem. Just make your pads flat when they're a bit too angled, because angled pads give a poor brake.

Alex Dark Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Both my front and rears did this due to, I think worn nipples on the slaves. Changed out to tnn in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunt man t Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Just make your pads flat when they're a bit too angled, because angled pads give a poor brake. once they ware a little bit at an angle it needs flatening because itll just follow? you need to flatten them because i dought you could get them to work well like that? my heatsinks cnc's went off a bit and they were useless lol But... if they were perfectly square they shouldnt off worn at an angle?, maybe its due to plastic flexy backing? maybe, if you twist the slaves so the pads hit the rim square it might work?

UK_SPAWN Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 If you set them up so they are as close as possible (like rubbing on any tiny buckles and scraping a bit but not enough to slow you down) they have less room to wiggle around. Turn around the pad so it can wear evenly.. and try not to use the brake for slowing down ( use disk if you have one or just your feet or just ride slower lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxx Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 You can try to twist your cylinders, but I'm not sure it's the best solution. The flex maybe from pads/clamps/cylinder's piston/fork's mounts Yes you can interchange your pads (not just turn, because even if it's not visible most of rims have angled sidewalls, and the pad has this shape), but I personnaly prefer to flatening them. And as UK_SPAWN said, set your cylinders as close as possible from the rim it will potentially reduce flexing. And try to only use your brake in a way that doesn't wear your pads (so ON/OFF is better). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_SPAWN Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Those are fronts rite? It looks like evidence of stopie's(front manual w/brake)... or up-to fronts?? Been doing much of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_ruskin Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 It happens on most brakes, nothing to worry about Why would you have to get new rim with other pads? Too thin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezmtber Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Maybe try toe in the pads a bit like what you used to do with cantilever brakes. It may work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
