The Husky and the channel is a way for me to try and remember how to have fun again, and in the Christmas holidays I MOTd both road bikes ready for post lockdown so will be back in to the vids soon.

I added these at the same time I swapped the pads to Brembo 07BB1990 and quite happy with the brake performance now. I have a set of the HH pads here I might try at some point. I've been thinking of a Brembo 19RCS master cylinder but doubt I will.

@TheBoltHoleBiker3 жыл бұрын
I have considered that, but wanted to try brake improvements bit at a time to see how far I needed to go to get them performing right. So I started with the pads, which did make a difference, but not enough on their own, now I have changed the discs to be honest I think I'm okay with the performance now. If I hadn't been then I probably would have considered bleeding them first, just top make sure it wasn't just a set up issue, then braided lines, calipers and master cylinder in that order. All starts adding up fairly quickly though!
