Nick Garland Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Right, I have had my mono trial since the new year, it started out very good very powerful, then bent the rotor so I changed it, got another hope rotor, this didnt seem as powerful so I bled it to see if it helped, still the same, was not really holding properly and the lever travel was insane. I then thought I would buy a new rotor as I bent this one too, got the V!Z rotor as it was the only 180mm rotor in stock and some new pads, even after 2 weeks it was still bad, so I took out the pads, lightly sanded them with some very fine sand paper, put it all back together. Still not holding properly.I cannot think what else to do, its just not locking properly and the lever travels quite a bit still, I have notice there is some black grime around the caliper which I was assuming was water + dust/pad wear etc, I have cleaned this off as best I could so far, but before putting it all back together and bleeding it has anyone else had this problem and how did they sort it out?

AdamR28 Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 It sounds like there is air in the system after your bleed. Give it another go, then lob some water on the rotor and scrub the pads gently on and off til dry. Repeat a few times and then see how it is Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Best thing I ever did was face the disk mounts on my forks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Cheers Adam, will do that later tonight and report back.I would prefer not to face the disk mount to be honest, a bit too much hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
