If the rear change to disc brake, the wheel also have to change because different hub design.

If both hydraulic brake fails or leakage, then....

If you have a drum brake behind, there is still hope to stop.

Ha.. Same here.. my caliper jam so now cannot use rear brake at all.. All got to depend on my front brake now..

[ddevil]

I guess I have no choice but 2 change to a disc brake if it still dun work for me....sighhhhh...maybe change the caliper to the top and try see how...

[d0n]

[terror]

ya, the back wheel change change lor, i don't mind. but which shop know how to install, like mount the calipers, put the hydraulics, etc... to make it working reliably

[p0508384]

b4 i change to yoshi footrest, i dun use the rear brake liaoz... but then, still feeling a bit funny w/o the rear brake... but no choice, unless someone has got a solution for me... we calculate le... no point changing to disc braking cos will cost alot (again, if you have got the cash, it's wise to change it)... need to change a lots of things...

i got sound also when apply rear brake... quite loud.. what i do, maybe u can try is that.. starting to ride i will rear brake hard.. then ride some more and rear brake hard till the sound can hear.. then eventually later braking on the road no more sound.. also i have the problem.. i ride like 50km/h then apply rear brake then got sound at one part of the braking.. it will sound then no sound until one revolution back to the same part then got sound again... i hope you guys can understand my lang.

[smalldidi]

i think u guys can try to change the "brake pedal" to longer stuff or weld it..or else the rear one also can change to bigger ( not typical look nice, but something like others bike) make it more longer ..n once u brake ..it pull more harder than short one....the front pedal as the same theory too..c ya...anyway ..anyone got some used rc footrest wanna sell...cheap ..

Topic : Brake pads for spark 135

Description : Nil

 

********************************************************************

 

I m seriously desperately looking for a good brake pad for my spark 135 .

If can i wanna get the best HH pads, but seem like cannot find any brand or make that makes em .

 

So any recommendation ?

my fren told me about a brand called Goldfren ( did i spelled this right ?) but normal organic pads

he said cheap cheap onli, Rm30 onli convert to RM from SD

 

I dun care any make, as long can fit into the stock calipers and have good performance .

 

PLEEEZZZZZZ, HELLLPPPP MEEEEEEEEEE

[y0s_bikey]

if u cant find good brake pad y not considering doing other alternatives as in like changing the calipre and hose

as spark is new in sg not much spare parts are in sg yet

jus checked even the stock brake pad oso no stocks in sg yet

so i think the best way is changing the caliper for my view la

im gettin my brembo soon liao! keke if interested can revert to our sparks135 posting inside got pretty much handy informations dat u might need it one day!

[CarroTT]

eeehhhhh, i tot singapore have spark long time oledi .

 

malaysia onli introduced a few months a go.

 

i can get brembos, have seen it oledi. But not interested, i still wan my brake equipment to be stock .

 

it will never work without a good set of brake pads, the pads makes all the difference

 

haiiihhhh, if dun have oso mo kai arr

200 bux for a rear disc conversion ?

 

where? workmanship good ant ?

 

actually i noe of a place (454 macpherson rd) he told me that he might noe how to make the brakes more effective.

 

u all can try there

[Thai_R]

Just ask u guys and gals....

Is looking good/cool on the expense of braking worth it ??

 

As one of u mentioned, u only using front brake.

What if during rainy weather the front brake is not effective due to water logged in the pads ?

Or oil stain on the disc rotor ?

 

Is it worth it ??

A point to ponder.......

[dionnaFZ]

during rainy days, dun usually go fast so the front brake is still alrite... b4 i dun have the back braking, i m already not using it liaoz... but anyway, i do understand tat the danger is there... but wat to do...

[dionnaFZ]

how's the performance of ur front wave rotors....

1) during dry

2) during wet

 

when compared with stock disc.....

 

Thanks

during dry not much diff...

 

during wet, quite bad in the beginning... but after like 5mins of braking when ridin(in the rain), the brake very good to "makan"... better than the stock one...
