K8 Front Brakes
#9
Im merely talking from the perspective of someone who has aftermarket brakes,has ridden 2 different gen2,s and noticed the difference and knows how to fix the problem permanently.every factory padded bike i have ridden with stock rotors has eventually gone wooded in feel.Unless you like pulling your pads and rubbing them on the driveway every few 1000 ks.ultimate braking power may indeed not change at all but light lever pressure bite varies a huge amount,which is where most of us ride most of the time.metal pads will give better bite and power but can glaze over time,organics will give less cold performance and less bite until they heat up but feel much smoother regardless of brand.choose your poison but remember busgo you said there was nothing wrong with the gen 1s brakes until you bought a gen 2.well my brakes are much better than a gen2,s so you can now see where i was coming from.And then theres dads brakes which are just ridiculously good.Good brakes with light one finger feel can be appreciated at all speeds,i enjoy mine everytime i squeeze the lever.Id be checking if the front wheel free spins on that bike,sounds like the pads are binding and boiling the fluid.Maybe the wheel is on backwards?
