Re: Uberbike brake pads
People rave about them, I found them plenty powerful enough but very noisy squealing in the wet.
I've been running galfer pads for the last 6 months or so and had a new set delivered today to be fitted tomorrow.

Old Hope V2
The front just won't bite - cleaned the pads, heated them up with a blow touring to decontaminate
Change the rotor ...
More work tomorrow - will report back

Re: Uberbike brake pads
Oddly Uberbikes don't supply anymore ... off to try and bed them in, up and down the road.
Its on discobrake rotors (a stainless rotor is a stainless rotor ..)
Slightly better now on a older rotor

Re: Uberbike brake pads
After heating up the pads with a blow torch to de-contaminate, cleaning the disc, exchanging the disc, bleeding the brake, I changed the brake pads.
It was the brake pads

Re: Uberbike brake pads
what did you swap to ? Are you feeling it's the pads or were they contaminated causing the issue ?

Re: Uberbike brake pads
I changed to some Discobrakes sintered. Going onto the HT so it won’t do many miles.
Heating the pads with a blow torch should sort out the contamination. Esp if just GT 85 overspray.
Who knows
