Pretty sure its been metallic the last couple of sets.. There may have been a resin a while back, but have sanded and tried 2 different rotors for this brake..
The QUICK question thread.....
- Thread starter Minlak
- Start date
Minor fluid leakage from the pistons has caused me problems like this on XTRs before ....

yeah, I'm not ruling it out, but haven't seen any indications of leak when checking hoses and pulling out pads etc. I'll do another check tomorrow though, might take it off completely and have good look
I didn't either, it was just one caliper that kept contaminating pads and different rotors. Glazed and squealing within 1-2 rides every time.

I'm starting to suspect that with mine. What was the fix?

They just stopped making the bike gear.
Pretty sure the machining company is still kicking on, just not making the bike stuff anymore.
I'm pretty sure they're called Macquarie Precision Engineering, or something along those lines.
I used to have their hubs back in the day and a mate is still using one of their stems on a build I did for him not long ago.
Great company and really helpful. Pity the local stuff like this has mostly disappeared.

Cheers mate. It is a shame, but easy to understand too. The competition is fierce. Were they high quality components?

Do Sram eagle derailleur have a weird angle to them like they have been bent inwards towards the wheel? Not strait up and down like a shimano?
Trying to work out if we have damaged one after one ride or its normal. Cant find any photos online that show from the correct angle.

Took the brake off, gave it a bleed, checked hoses, checked for leaks, cleaned it all up, lightly sanded pads and rotor, bedded it in, still horrendous sounds during ride.
New brakes time.

That'll buff out.It makes golf balls go further. Surely it works just as well on cars?
Bye bye one 10 month old mustang.

Did you pull it out of the garage when you heard there was hail coming?

with it's 2 star safety rating I'm surprised it didn't crumple when the first hail stone hit.

Did the airbags deploy?
No, but then that is one of the issues!
I was waiting for a taxi in Bsb city once when a savage storm hit. Poor lady in a Velocter thing at the lights got hammered. Whole roof exploded all over her.
