Re: mellen....brakes
I havent ever had a drastic change when I put new pads on.....except for the first day until they break in real good. How long have you had em' on there???

I actually turned my rotor in a automotive lathe and i rough sanded it and its real touchy.

I'm still looking to make it touchier, any ideas ??

it was setup before i got it, but i heard about tying zipties on the front brake pushes air out of the lines
