josh barker Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 your pads are probably contaminated from oil if theres black stuff on the rotor, wierd noise and if it slipsmaybe i could get some more pads for itor a rotor??youll be needing both pads and a rotor if there contaminated they soke the oil up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianatrials Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 If it works as a bb7 you can just put some mud, or at least water on the rotor and modulate it around really hard for a long time. Worked for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Scrub the rotor in soapy water, rinse to remove the soap and dry in clean tissue. Remove the pads and run a file/sandpaper over the braking surface until there's no visible black stuff left (Possibly wash the pads first if the contamination is on the sides of the braking material too). Wash the caliper so no oil is left on it, drying in clean tissue again.Reassemble everything and follow the usual procedure for breaking in the brakes (Lots of hard stops/rub in mud into the rotor between hard stops).
