bagre15 Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I've just bought a new echo disc brake and some hope standard pads. I rode my bike for about two hours, and dind't manage to make the brake hold. Any ideas on what should I do? Sorry for the bad english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) Are you using the Echo TR disc rotor? Edited September 29, 2012 by Echo Lite 09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a case of time and patience, or get a hope rotor on there. Edited September 29, 2012 by Echo Lite 09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Winton. Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Definitely do not bleed it with water. just find a bid hill and ride down it feathering the brake maybe put some clean water on the rotor too that usually helps a bit.
