skuzzbucket Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Me and the gang were at the coast sun riding on the rocks and stuff, the wind was blowing like a gale,as we got nearer the braking waves our disc brake performance be came more pants as time went on, was this down to the salt water? We've road through most conditions with out any bother. Any one else out there had this or are we just unlucky? we all run different brakes. not complaining having no front brake made it more challenging.

Wright Pads Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Chemicals in the salt! The heat genirated when it's used causes some reaction or soemthing like that.Might not of got it that covered then like Porter did that time he was wipped out by a splash wave here in Plymouth, LMAO was so funny. A soggy fox pisser.If it's working as it was before then you all good if not do as i said above mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I got hit my a wave, on a few occations. Once really badly though, all over the rotor. It just stopped working completley, but the next day it was as god as it ever was.Salt dosn't really have any 'oil like' proporties, so i don't think it'd contaminate anything.
