Mat Smith! Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Does it still bite? or is it completely unusable?Cook the pads and clean off the rotor, sand, fairy liquid + hot water wash, sand and then rinse with hot water.Get a new cable, or just uber lube up your old one.Set up your brake square and then drag it down a hill and add water and wait for it to try, should be good after that.Matx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Smith! Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 how do u mean cook the pads??and u use really fine sane paper i guess ?think mine might be going the same wayput them in the oven or hold them over a hob untill set on fire or all the black smoke comes off pretty much, open your windows too, unless u dont have a fire alarm lol.remember they will be hot also, leave them to cool down .Matx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials_pimp Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I paid £50 for a pair, but this was when they were new outI find if I dont ride my bike for a while my BB7 stops working well, but just ride fast and do some stoppies, de-glazes the pads and it works briliantly again.
