Disc brake headaches
My Jeep has been making some evil noises when slowing down lately. This weekend saw a 700 mile round trip pull to upstate NY and things got worse in a fast hurry.
pulled it all apart today and it was worse than i thought. talk about cooked! you guys are crazy wanting these things on your bicycles!!

A properly toed-in set of cantis should be able to stop that truck just fine.

I'm not a fan of disc brakes on bikes, but I do have the disc brakes in my vehicles checked a couple of times per year. Hint.

Oddly I had a rear caliper failure on my suburban...the pistons would not retract and the new pads and rotors I put in 8k miles ago were toast.
If that happened on my bike I could at least push the piston in manually and shoot some compress air to blow out the offending dust particles

duh
1. remove rotors, sand lightly with 240 grit, clean with finger nail polish remover.
2. remove pads, scrub with toothbrush and finger nail polish remover. 3. after they're dry, put 240 grit on work table, turn pads face down, and sand lightly until original bronze color takes the place of the darkened material. 4. blow off dust, make sure you don't touch the pads with your fingers. 5. use qtip and rag to clean outside surface of pistons. 6. reinstall pads. 7. do bed in process of your choice. me, ride like crazy in 10 short bursts and apply brakes hard each time.
