Improving braking efficieny on Rodeo
Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2008 11:17 am
Hey all,
One thing I have found with putting bar work, sliders, rear shelving and ... oh... 33's on the Rodeo is that she just does not stop like she used to. More noticable when i swap from the 31's to the 33's.
Have toyed with the idea of a MU or early Jack rear axle with disks but these are as rare as rocking horse fodder. Other than this is there any known tweeks to the braking system to improves its stopping. I have noticed the type / brand of disk pad makes a big change, i.e. going with softer pads.
Ideas like renewed brake lines, new rotors yadda yadda...
Cheers
