evileye Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 i have had my avid for a while now although the brake is still good it seems to have lost power i know people on here talked about them losing power so i just need a few tips on how to get the power back cheers fred. >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 give it a good clean, wash the rotor with washing up liquid, sand/file the pad surface to get any glaze/cack off and break the brake in again-sorrrted :S maybe a new cable too? i dont know how to actually service the unit itself though...but doubt that would help much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott-mad Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) all i do with mine is to take off the rotor and clean it with warm water and washing up liquid, then dry it. take out the brake pads and get some seariously fine sandpaper and put it on a flat surface and just gently rub it back and forth, :S , re-asemble and just break it in again. basically the same as the guy above. :lol: oh yeah and if your cable is going crap get shimano xtr cable, absolutly gorgeous :lol: Edited May 1, 2005 by scott-mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
