Joe Aston Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 I have had my rim jam blues since about december. I have rebleded my break a few times but i have still had a realy spongey lever i no its not the bleed because when i use standard black blocks its nice but black blocks are rubish. I was wondering is this a comon probley with softer compond break pads or are they just rubish pads.Thanks joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewannnn Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 It's nothing to do with your pads at all, it's your flame flexing, try pulling your brake hard then watch the frame around your brake area and it will probably be movingSo you need to buy a brake booster to stop the flex, hope i helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Aston Posted April 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 yeah i no a buster would help and i understand frame flex but u could actual see the pad backings bending but it didn't is this to with the fact rim jam dont use magura power backings i think thats what there called. sorry should of said that in my first post.

MikeCottTrials Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 yeah i think you hit the nail on the head, last time i checked they didnt use the proper magura backings thats why i just went for a per of frankly sick plazmatics :bow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nugent Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 (edited) Yeah I have the same problem and I know I need a booster (just don't have the money right now). So that's the answer mate, just get a booster. Apparently, the Echo 4-bolt ones are very good! Well that's what i'm gettin anyway when I get the money.

Clarky Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Measure your frame up and bang a decent 4 bolt booster on there.Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
