Any time there’s a wet and muddy long distance race, we have riders who experience loss of brake functionality. These conditions are going to accelerate the wear of any brake system, but there are some ways to combat the effects and make it through your event. In this video, we discuss how disc brake pads wear out, and the different brake pad options that can provide more reliable braking in adverse conditions.
If you’re dealing with issues from your last ride, or are concerned about how your bike might fair (Rockcrusher is now 4 days away), remember the folks at Boardtown have years of experience dealing with all of this. Give us a call or drop by and we can help you get your bike back in order. Friday is going to be hectic, so try to get by tomorrow or Thursday if you need anything. Lots of parts in stock.
P.s. first “tech talk” video, apologies the audio isn’t perfect.
Happy riding ✌️
