The last thing any motorhome or RV operator wants to experience is the panic of pressing the brake pedal (service brake) and not having any stopping power. Because motorhomes and RVs use an air system to activate the brakes, an air brake test should be conducted every time you get behind ...
Park your car on a flat, level surface to prevent rolling when the vehicle is jacked into the air. Raise the hood of your vehicle and spray the master cylinder with a liberal coating of spray brake cleaning solution. Use a clean, lint-free cloth to wipe themaster cylinderclean. This will...
As the hang glider and pilot move through the air, they collide with air molecules. The frictional force caused by these collisions is known as drag, which slows the glider down. The amount of drag is proportional to the airspeed of the hang glider: The faster the glider moves, the more...
It's easy to see that being a bobsledder requires bravery and a good sense of balance. But making it down the run requires more than just coordination and nerve. Bobsleds weigh hundreds of pounds. Thedriverandbrakemanon a two-person team (and the crewmen orpush athletesin four-person tea...

factor on the trail significantly. Moreover, good braking performance helps minimise arm pump on long descents, because you don’t have to pull as hard on your brake levers. It goes without saying that improving braking performance might be one of the best upgrades you can perform on your ...
mind is that air is a fluid -- much like water. Try to move your hand, palm flat, through a tub of water or stick your hand out of a moving vehicle. That force resistance you feel is the motion of the fluid (the air or the water) opposing the motion of an object (your hand)...
Brakes are your car’s most important safety system (after you, the driver). Before ice and snow put your brakes to the test, make sure to get your brakes and brake fluid checked. Replace brake pads if necessary, so you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even on slippery winter roads....
