indianatrials Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Most likely your grind got deadened out a little bit. And with those hard pads, the grind needs to be oooober sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigamac Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Try re-bleeding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borat Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Yeah, I would give it a sharp,deep drind. Rebleed and also take your pads off and if they have dust (grey'y) smooth finish one them, sand it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclip Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 yeah, as stated above try a fresh grind or could try new pads? . also a re bleed would atleast even if its not that make you feel better about it. allways keep a close eye on piston's and seals!!!! when using echo brakes as they not allways but mostly after a wee while leak, this can also be avoided on the re bleed but taking all pipe work off the pistons and lever body and using a pump/compressor to get all loose shaving's ect as they do tend to get left in there even though deng try not too. The above is just advice from me as I had echo brakes and both front and back let me down due to this, The back let me down on a gap aswell allways tell that to people when echo brakes are in a conversation just because if you can reduce the chance you might aswell . but the tr should be a very good brake even with a shit bleed, far as i know there pretty much the old rb design and they were sexual brakes!

Redneck Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 You can try taring your rims. I have a very light grind on my rims then I tar them, uber power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
