|
|
Whilst researching my soggy feeling front brake, I noticed that the pads on the right caliper (offside) have worn down much more than the pads on the left?
Is this normal or could this be a sign of something wrong?
I would say that the pads on the nearside are only part worn, where as the other side are nearing the limit.
I have recently noticed an ever increasing loss of feel in the lever. A while back, the brake felt fine, pulling a small amount until getting solid. This is now gone and the lever almost touches the bar before any real braking power is felt.
I have tried bleeding both calipers, to no avail. I have also tried the top banjo trick, but this expelled no trapped air.
Advice please, before I end up throwing in the towel and putting the bike into an expensive garage to have the whole system overhauled, at great cost no doubt.... ____________________ Mungel
