W@nna-BE Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Hi Hubbers, please excuse my ignorance on this question but if i dont know i ask i have noticed over the past few weeks that the "pressure" on my rear MTB disk brakes ( hydraulic) is alot less then my front. in other words the lever is softer for the back brakes. I actually have to pump the rear brakes to build some pressure, brake pads are not new but there is still some meat on them any recommendations to get the lever a little "stiffer"
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 The brakes need to be bled properly. Either water or air in the system. Pants Boy 1
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 By bled properly I mean the system must be flushed of the old fluid and fully replaced with new. Any proper lbs should be able to do this for you.
