weebryan Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I have had my mono trials for a year now and i have to keep cleaning the pistons and removing the pads on a regular basis as i pull the lever nothing happens then it clicks then all a sudden they totaly lock u, is there anything a can do to prevent this? i think it is a build up off brake dust that jams the piston, not sure.

RR_Trials Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Just a sugestion as i dont ride with a disk but.......... Maybe you need to have a re-bleed. Is there anything on youre disk because that dose'nt help. If you have a know from riding with matt that putting water on your disk helps get rid of all brake dust so that makes them sharper.

weebryan Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I haved tried washing them with water and still the same, my mates does the exact same must be a common fault. They work fine after i have have cleaned the back ofthe pads and sprayed the pistons with conntact cleaner and then move the pistons in and out but only last for a short while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 try smearing a bit of copperslip/grease on the back of the pads, should solve the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 My one did this, and there was a clicking noise.My one just needed a tiny bit of grease on the rod that guides the pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
