Dman Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I am back on my saint m820's as my sram guides have both started leaking from a piston in the caliper. They felt perfect for me with 180 discs and uberbike sintered, I could do pretty good stoppies with them. I thought I would try 203 shimano rotors rt66 and nukeproof sintered pads, I thought modulation would be better but it wasn't they were real Grabby, couldn't do a stoppie. Tried some disco brakes sintered, they just glazed and wouldn't work, next I tried the uberbike pads same thing, literally went over bars trying to do an endo. Tried all these pads on shimano and sram discs but same thing. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Welcome to Servowave But seriously, why not try the 180mm rotors out? If you want modulation then the only real way of doing that is by dropping a rotor size. Alternatively, just stick with it and adjust to the bite of them, as it'll also force you to have your body weight in a better position so you'll rely on the brake less?

Dman Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) I have a mixture of 180 and 203 rotors still the same, I prefer 180 just tried 203 because I heard it was better modulation. I have had these brakes working differently to this before, loads of modulation before they lock up, now none, could the bleed affect this in anyway? They aren't the same as I have had them before, I'm used to servowave the sram have swing link similar but I liked the feel better. Hope they warranty a new set. What does the freestroke screw do can't feel anything? Edited June 25, 2015 by Dman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
