  |
|
Hey people whilst riding at Peachester the other day I sort of had a break black-out  On my way back to the trailer I hit some pretty good mud patches, and that's where I started to loose my breaks. The strange thing was, the further I rode the more they came back to normal  Can anyone explain this and why it happened  What I'm trying to say is that there was no pressure when squeezing the break lever, then all of a sudden the pressure came back. Talk about freaking me out |

water... when you been through a puddle just apply your brakes on and off lightly to dry them out, my does it every time I hit a puddle, dont stress about it. I dont even think about doing it now, its just an automatic action.  mind you he did need to top up his brake fliud before the ride, so whether they had a little air in it, dont know but when my are wet they fade out till I dry them.

| It's like a crunching sound with a bit of vibration in there as well. |

I'll assume its when you put the brakes on, could be some dirt between your disc pads and your rotors, just getting ground down to dust...
