Break Pad comming loose

[Dusty]

Did the 3 Towers at Mankele on the weekend and down a rocky descent I lost a break pad. Eish no brake.

 

Have Juicy 5 s. I think that the pads are held in magnetically.

 

Is this a regular occurence? Can it be prevented?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

what were the conditions like? any river crossings?

they clip into a the caliper. Either they were not in properly or the little metal piece where they clip onto got lost.

after day 2 of the cradle quest last year, i ended up with just one pad and the clip in the caliper. didn't notice until i was on the day three route

You know why you didn't notice it ?

 

Cause you weren't going fast enough to use the brakes.

that's for sure. think it got ripped out when me and nance rode upstream...

The juicy pads are held in by a pin in the piston which is easily damaged when pushing the pistons back to fit new pads. when damaged the pads can easily fall out and the pistons need to be replaced...
