Hi all,

I have a beta 2002 and the front brake is fine until it touches any water or mud. If it does get wet ten the brake might-as-well not be there, it is so useless!!!

I have re-bled it but this does nothing.

This only happens after riding a section through water or mud.

Any help?

Have you tried fitting new brake pads

Try getting the brake quite hot by riding around with it on, and then pouring water onto the disk, not mentally hot or it might crack, but doing it when it is quite hot will clean it.

Once you've done that try replacing the pads with some good quality ones, your dealer will probably recommend some, but I normally get galfer ones and they work well. Look for a goldy colour in the pad.

Should sort it! Going through water shouldn't affect the brakes much, or atleast they should clear quickly.

This is quite common when the pads get low

the mud and water chews the pads away and

they high in the middle causing a soft brake combine this

with being wet aswell and you have the reason for

your problem!

I am using red Galfers at the moment and they are about 4 months old
