binding front brake

[Lumpy]

@Lumpy, as always your opinion is your own!
Everyone just jumps on the bandwagon and says "warped disc" as sooon as there are problems with braking, but i bet you the vast majority of the time it is not that but a feeling caused by something else!
This would be a never ending argument so lets just agree to disagree, again.......  :rolleyes

I will add though, i'm talking about a fairly decent set of discs, if you spend about £50 on a new set from China, then it's almost like buying a chocolate teapot, so that's a different story!

it's not just an opinion I'm afraid. It wasn't referring to the fact that people cite warped disc for everything including the naitional debt just the general statement. One of my standard front discs warped like a belled washer when the caliper on the right hand side decided to seize on and in a very short time as I was a motorway speeds plus, the heat generated warped it like a bastid. This was neither through over use, racing , or cheap discs. See my point. That was my only issue with the general statement. The cheapish replacement discs on the fazer are very good, wear is good and they aren't warping either which is handy. The standard discs on my Bird are hardly worn and perfectly true after 14 years and 60k miles as I do not use the brakes much, although they were rather blued after a trip to the Ring. The XS11 are too thick to warp I think :lol

Discs can warp due to poor fitting too but rarely cause the issues most people relate. When I bought my awful orange wheels and took the rear disc off, I found the previous owner had fitted the disc on top of the powder coating where the faces weren't masked. Eek.

Sorry, I digress a bit.
