Fly brakes

<< < (3/4) > >>

subversion:
I've just set up a Suelo front & the fork posts are a little long so it has some play in it. Going to get a file on the mofo at the weekend >:D

Voodoocars:
I've had squeaky a brake for ages.I tried that ptfe tape thing- no good.I've even shimmed the brake posts on the frame so that there is no play at all- still no good.Toed in the pads- still no good. Full face helmet- result ! Cant hear the squeal any more!

pickle:
or what you could do is spend a fraction of the cost and get a Hombre which just simply work??   ;)

subversion:
In my experience Hombre's aren't HALF as good as a Fly brake :) (got a pair for sale cheap if anybody wants them?) Like you Pickle, I couldn't seem to justify the outlay initially but use them for a while & I doubt you'd go back...?

Voodoocars I take it you are running Fly's? If so are they CS or SS mounted? The brake is reacting diiferently depending on the frame position it's being used on... :daumenhoch:

I know Ray900tap uses a fly on CS without toe in & his brake is noisy as shit but he likes the 'bite' you get when running them that way...

Each to his/hers eh....

pickle:
that's fair do's mate, i've never ran one so i guess i only know Hombre's or EvoII's
