two questions...why was the review for this brake stellar when it came out and should we grease the internal mechanism? One more does the gasket thickness matter?crazypj said:I have a LOT of time on the mechanical disc from working at Honda dealers in the late 70's.
Everything is smaller than the 250/350/360/400/500/55 so it's going to need some dedicated brackets
I think it would be pretty simple if I had a caliper to copy, just thin down some 3/4" plate after drilling mounting hole and leave it long enough to mount whatever caliper you want
we dropped ours in some Metal Rescue and it looks almost like new. I was expecting bad braking but was pleasanly surprised...feedback was very good. It stopped very well for having an additional 215 lbs added. Thank you!crazypj said:Yep, the internal parts need some grease but not completely packed.
When it's working right it isn't a bad brake, problem is, they are rarely working right.
They have issues with water running down cable and rusting up the mechanism, plus, the automatic adjusterusually needs manual resetting every few thousand miles
