ok my brake has hardly any hold for me to be confident to do anything

how would i get it better ??

at the moment i have a fresh bleed , rock blues ( week or 2 old ) , Medium grind on echo rim ( week or 2 old ) , And a tad of tar ,RB brake booster

Is there anythink i can do to make it bite and hold better

thanks

Rock blues are awesome, get all the tar off. then sand the pads just slightly and what ive done before is cut little knotches in the opposite direction to the grind in my pads, worked really well.

If there still getting stuck there either not set up properly/ near enough to the rim or maybe contaminated bits.

p.s you can get the tar off by giving it a new grind or just biding your time and sanding/ cutting lumps off.

Can give you 3 reasons:

1. It's a shit grind

2. You put tar on a shit grind

3. Your frame is stiff as it is, the booster is making it worse. I promise you! Had the same exact problem with my 06 zoo.

its a sick grind tartybikes did it for him and i dont think the booster is doing much for hime eather.
