Re: [ST] Re: Brake Pulsing

["Craig Moddle" <sailnorth@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Mike,
I can understand the pulse with the original disks. However, there are now
"new" disks on, and if anything the pulse is worse. Less pulsy, more grabby.
Which does not make one feel too secure travelling to work in the dark on
the wet roads of the Island.

Yes, dealing with Mike at Savage.
He checked the recycled disks on his speed triple hub, they are fine. Then
they were put on my bike, and I've still got the pulse. So I'm starting to
lean in the direction that Neil Anderson put forth; the mounting on the
actual wheel. Also Mark Collett's experience with dirty brake pistons.
It's sunny so far today, so if I get done painting the hallway in time, then
I'll get out to the shop before going to work.

Cheers,
jcm
