thesubway Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Hi, sorry if this has been asked before, can't find anything that answers my question. Right, my rear brake will hold and stop me when moving forward and landing on an object. But the issue I am having is it that it will slip backwards every time. Is this a case of me not pulling the brake lever hard enough? Or is there anything I can do to stop it slipping back? The brake setup I am using is the following: -Hs33 '05 with brake fluid -4-bolt heatsink brake booster -Phat pads with cnc backing -light grind Any help would be much appreciated. Is it worth me trying different pads? If so what pads would you recommend. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Is it bled well? If so put a deeper grind on it. If you are going for new pads Rock blues are my favorite but many will say heatsink yellows. They could be better I have never had them.

t-comp-kierz Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Are your pads set up square? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesubway Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 The bleed is standard from when I recieved the brake (bought new last December). Yeah the pads are even on the rim and set square. Its just wierd how it only slips one way. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 yeah, maggies tend to grip better forwards than backwards, That pad material is also great for bite, but bad for hold (I spent ages looking for and testing loads of compounds before I found that material, so I have a lot of time with it). I found the best pads for hold were the koxx blox browns and TNN LGM and Bealay pads. a booster will also help, but could reduce bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Em, you may have a bit of oil on your rim matey, give the rim a wash and see if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
