Brembo brakes are renowned for their thermal resistance and precise modulation under extreme conditions, resulting in short, straight, and stable stops on both road and track. Initially associated with premium and performance vehicles, Brembo components have since entered the mainstream marketplace on ca...
The Overall Condition of Calipers and Brake Rotors The condition of your brake pads is closely tied to the state of other essential components, such as calipers and rotors. When these elements are not in good condition, it can lead to accelerated wear. For example, if a brake caliper becomes...
The brake caliper houses your car’s brake pads and pistons. Its job is to slow the car’s wheels by creating friction with the brake rotors. The brake caliper fits like a clamp on a wheel’s rotor to stop the wheel from turning when you step on the brakes. Inside each caliper is ...
Brake pedal vibrations: This could result from excessive hard braking that may have resulted in warped rotors or drums. Slow stopping response: This may indicate a leak in the hydraulic system, or your brake linings are glazed. Sensitive brakes: If you’re jerking to a stop at the slightest...

with either a block sander or a specialty sanding tool designed specifically for bike brakes. Make sure you use plenty of lubrication while doing so as this will ensure that all dirt particles are removed from the surface of the pad and reduce wear on both your brake pads and rotors over ...
on both wheels can detect when the brakes lock up. ABS adjusts the braking force automatically using software, which allows the wheels to slow down in high-speed intervals, reducing the risk of washing out or being thrown over the handlebars, which can happen if you slam on the front ...
