i dont believe that

brake fade due to boiling the fluid isnt somethign that sneaks up on you

 

im leaving in a half hour, save it for me

 

My res has hit before but not in a while but the times that it did hit the cap busted off and I lost all the fluid. Its zip tied to where the ignition should be right now. My master has never hit but when I hit that pole last week my lever did snap in half Now i got a frembo lever on there but when I put it on it had pressure right away.

 

My front brake master on the other hand - Ive lost pressure a bunch of times with that. Dont know why that one and not my HB but I wont question it either.

 

where r we riding tonight?

 

I never had brake fade but it could have been boiling while doing tricks and been less effective and he didnt notice it and then bam or does it not work that way. I never had to deal with that but now that I got the dual 4 piston I'ma be bleeding my brakes out every few weeks as a safety measure.

 

its not bs i dont have to pump mine but ya of course they fight wach other if you use them at the same time!!! that why you dont use both at once but i dontt have to pump mine going back and fourth

 

I cant ride til about 9 - maybe 930 and thats probably too late for you. Same thing with tomorrow. I also hurt my hand somehow. Didnt bother me yesterday but woke up today and its ****** killing me

 

it feels like you have to press harder on teh brake for it to work. And harder and harder and then once the fluid boils it feels like theres air in there. But the time getting to that point, anyone with half a brain will know its not right when you have to stomp on it to get it to work. I think he probably kicked his reservoir off and didnt notice it, or something like that.

 

and with a 4 piston, you run much lower pressure in the line, so you'll really never overheat your fluid.

 

If Im doing a FIB wheelie using the FB and then wanna jump to SS you'd have to pump in between or all the pressure would still be at the FB. Like you said they fight with each other and the same applies to switching between using the two. Thats my experience anyway but Ima ride Mikes again when I see him. All I know is I never usually ride other peoples bikes coz I drop bikes a lot but I rode 4 other bikes this week and hated the HB setups on all of them

 

9s probably good for me. i gotta work on cars right after work today

 

sign me up lol

 

A lot of people have been posting on here that with the 2 4 pots that they're boiling their fluid and losing brakes It makes sense to me coz so much of the rotor is covered by the 2 big calipers and 4 sets of pads Iono - with help it takes 10 minutes to bleed it out so its not really a big deal.

 

can you explain that? whatchu mean by that?

 

when you switch from one brake to the other, you have to be completely off one before you switch or they fight. Thats it, no pumping or anything. just get off one before touching the other.

 

gotcha. I have noticed w my setup that the lever feels different when riding for a while than when i just start riding. i always have pressure(knock on wood) but when I first start riding it feels like I have to give it more to get it to work sounds backwards of what you just said.

 

im not definite on tonight. i might come home and send out resumes instead of riding.

 

they only fight eachother if you are pushing them at the same time . . . BUT WHO does that? if you go from fb to hb mine doesn't need to be pumped to get a pedal both are still and have great pressure

 

eh ill try your bike again and test it out.
