I think all front 4 piston caliper bikes use floating rotors


I tried to copy the info , but it wouldnt let me because of copyright bs .

Here is the site i went to .

You've just proved a very important internet message board point....

If you don't know what you're talking about you should keep it to yourself.

 

Well what else could do it ?

 

all i saw was for use with narrow rotors ....the light rotors have a smaller area for the brake pad....i didnt see any thing that said there was a different caliper for floating rotors ...

but i didnt read every single inch of the website so who knows maybe there is

 

(the caliper in question is mounted on the rear wheel)

i have seen hoses that got pinched/streched act like a check valve inside and not let fluid return to the master..

 

Don't know... the guy needs to post more information and pics...

but I can tell you for sure it wasn't from "100 stoppies in a row"

 

And that would mean that the caliper is not releasing for some reason , right ?

 

Ok , my bad , i meant 100 coasters . You know what i meant .

 

yeah, there would be pressure trapped inside of the caliper, but to cause a set of pads to be gone in a day? his rotor would be purple and most likely junk too... that thing would be smokng and howling and tearing a whole in the universe.

 

+1

 

And i'm sure it was . What else could have happened ? He used a set of walmart pads ?

 

well if it did wear a new set of pads out, it isnt a misalignment problem...

 

i dont think its what type of pads he used. i remember when i started stunting that i didnt know how to use the rear brake right. so i would just drag the brake the whole time instead of tapping it when i needed it. i think that he just threw on brand new pads and didnt break them in right and thats why he is burning through them in a day. i have burned through pads in a week but not in a day.

like i said i have only rode 3 times with this bracket but i have not had those problems. i will look at my pads ( which were both used when i put the calipers on ) tomorrow and see if they look different in any way

 

Me too.... I'll take the hb caliper off and take some pics of the pads and rotor.

This has really got me scratchin my head.... how the **** could anybody possibly smoke a set of pads in one day?

100mph seat standers riding the **** outta the brake... all day long?

 

ok hear are some pics .

 

ss coasters i get an average of 250 from 1st gear . belive me i dont ride the brake . with my old gp tech fitting my pads lasted me at least 6 months or more . i have no idea what is causing this but i need to figure it out and fast

 

My pads have the same wear pattern... but not quite as smoked as yours. Keep in mind this is almost a full month of wear... but parking lot only... mostly circles, couple of 30 or 40mph max coasters...

 

This is seriously ONE DAY of wear???
