Warmonger brake info/install thread

[warmonger]

A partial update. Pedal has improved but I think I can get it up a bit more with bleeding (not done yet).

When the larger fronts were first installed, I reported that in my subjective opinion braking was improved about 15% to 20%. With the larger rears it has improved some more, however the biggest improvement is that the brakes seem more stable. I feel that I have better control when braking in turns.

I'll report again after I've bled the brakes.

Jim,

Just to be sure, check your Park brake cable sheathing where it pops into the mount on the caliper.

Now that the stock caliper is at a higher angle the metal end can pop off the sheathing and it may give you a funny feeling in the P-brake handle. I recommend not snapping then fully back into place but to just let them sit in the hole at a slight angle. Performance is not compromised and it will relieve stress on the cable sheathing where it fits into the metal fitting.

I'll look again, but the cables were fine when I finished the installation.
