Kick Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I have recently bought a Phase 1.3. It came with V brakes on back. And a Disc on the front. My V brakes are fine no problem so far. However, im struggling to use front brake its jus not stopping as quick as i would have hoped.Just wondering, if i needed to do something to improve it?? Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Dale-Hill Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 It will just need bedding in Poor some water over it and go down a hill holding the brake on, do this about 3 times, and it should improve the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions would be very helpful. KickRide down a hill with it on then ride up it with it on then put muddy/grimey water on the disc. Then ride it normally. If i was you though when you start to get on corners of railings etc i would get rid of the rear v brake and get a magura bolted down, will be so much better at holding on stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
