You can also consider thicker grip. Turn more for less, in another way. But you must have big hands to appreciate it. I'm using Oury grip for mountain bike one. Thicker and comfy.

 

I saw an article teaching how to modify the current throttle tube to become a semi fast throttle. Just tie a very small cable tie inside the grove where the throttle cable sit on. But how good, I'm not sure.

 

modify the right hand is the best way, in alot of instances the right hand plays the biggest part

Just now while "meditating" inside the toilet, I think think think, like wrong. Big or small grip no use. Must modify the throttle cam area. hahahahaha.

i just change to playlife, abit regret, cos of the thin construction there is quite alot of feedback, might be good for trackers but i'm not one

was thinking of those BMW ones, looked comfy, how much are your mountain bike grips?

10 plus. I got it at an AMK bicycle shop called Chapter 2 Cycle. My all time favourite grip since my cycling days. But you need to cut one side of the grip as there is no hole for balancer.

Carbine, thanks again for clarifying my queries. I envy your knowledge man. Hahaha...

 

Ok scrap that stock pads idea. I private message the guy from the CMO selling EBC pads. He recommends me front HH Sintered and Rear Organic. And it's damn cheap too compared to other shops. What do you guys think about that?

 

I have only SS brake lines. Other then that my braking system all stock. I don't go touring that much and never go track at all. So basically I just need pads tat can last long. Hehe...

 

Again, thanks for everyone who has contributed on replying to my questions.

I believe there some job nt done properly... Since u mentioned that u service the caliper. U need to check that the o ring placement is correct. There are difference in the size n dimensions. I ever service my frd caliper after that Ok. Master pump, since new shld nt be a problem.

 

Gd luck

 

exact size and dimensions not sure but check before install looks the same.

 

WOW WOW WEE,its been a while........... Heading to Krabi on Oct?

 

I miss those big fat prawns in Newton.YUMMY

 

Regarding your problem,i faced before.For mine it's the technique of bleeding.That mechanic of yours must not take shortcuts in order for the air bubbles trapped inside your brake fluid to be removed thouroughly.

 

Next,did your mechanic check your brake calipers pistons whether every individual of them function correctly?

 

alas not going krabi,no kakis.

 

went to 2 different mech and claim no more bubbles.1st mech install the pistons claim all ok leh.

 

arbine;7639800']the overhaul kit, you using brembo or stock or??

 

btw r u the one wif arrow full sys?

 

overhaul kit is stock..and arrow is within me..hahaha

 

spend total of S$270/- and still the same..

Hmmm in that case may need to trouble shoot one at a time from the brake pump,brake hose and last calipers.

Do you know how to install?If not did you do your own research and surveys?

 

Yes bro, I usually change pads myself as I will clean the pistons and wash them too. Most shops won't do these extra step.

They will service it for you provided you tell them or book in advance as it's tedious work and time consuming.
