Rear Brake Strength
Does anyone else feel the power of the rear brake on their 18/19 EC to be a bit under gunned. It takes a fair bit of foot force to lock up which is both good and bad. The pads appear to be bedded evenly.
I'm leaning towards throwing some sintered metal pads in and seeing if i like them better. |
Mine are piss weak like my road bikes, I'm not even sure I can lock mine up(can't say I've tried as I'm not a huge back brake user). How good are they supposed to be :confused:
If you fit sintered can you chime back in with some feedback please? |
Mine lock up fine.. 2018 standard pads...
|
Have you tried to bleed them?
|
The pedal didn't feel spongy so I hadn't bled them. I did just then though as it takes zero effort and there could be a slightly firmer feel from the lever.
I'll report back once I go for a ride. |

Any chance you have spilt fluid on the pads??

My 18 XC 300 felt a bit weak until I bled them and now they are great.
