March 11, 20197 yr Hi Guys Not sure if its me or the bike? My braking seems to be on or off, no in-between, no modulation My bike is a 2004 Scorpa SY250, but all bikes of this age seem to use AJP brakes Went to a trial this weekend locking front and back brakes, did not see anybody else lock front! Your help is needed, what should i do? Thanks Whiskey
March 11, 20197 yr When I first went to a bike with powerful front brakes, I struggled. To make them more progressive, someone suggested cutting an X in the pads with a hack saw. It worked.
March 11, 20197 yr I found the front brake on my Beta evo excessively over powerful when I first got it, it was very hard to brake smoothly, maybe I got used to it or maybe it "ran in" it's allright now though, you could file a chamfer on the pad edges, it may help.
June 24, 20197 yr Author Hi Guys Many thanks for the replies Went with mcman56's suggestion and cut an X in the pads, both front and rear Also adjusted the front brake lever so it engages sooner so i have less leverage effect on it Seem to of worked, went to a trial much happier with the brakes Thanks again guys Whiskey
