Understanding MX brakes

<< < (4/4)

super mat:
this always seems to be a bone of contention.it all boils down to set up,pad choice and caliper.but even then,my tuff burner survivor has weinman 1020s,original tuff pads and stops my 12 and a bit stone very well.skids and endo,s no problem.pads tend to perform better once they have some wear on them,so they match the profile of the rim better.

Yep, I agree with Andy and it's just how you set them up right. Running DC880 calipers and rockwalks, endos and backhops are no issues. I know they'll be even better with a set of those sticky pads but they squeal like fook :2funny:

granted modern brakes are better and easier to set up but my MX1000 on my loopy works fine as does my 901 on my XL and with that i mean they stop and not just slow down gradually, its all down to the pads you use and how they are set up  :daumenhoch:

Amen to that  :daumenhoch:
