He sold his Beta 80. Looking for a 200-250 machine to grow into.

Thanks for another awesome event! Well worth the 3.5 hour drive up!
Some of the toughest Int. terrain I have ridden on. Was a total blast!

Bump! email me cascaderdr at yahoo we need more trials riders over here on the dry side!

The caliper was completely rebuilt new pistons and fresh seals. Lever has decent feel...not squishing to the bar or anything.
Keep ideas coming! Besides trying different pads...we are out of ideas!

Great fun this weekend! Thanks Daniel and all for putting it on! Well worth the 3.5 hour trip up to ride!

We did multiple brake drag runs to get em hot followed by water quenching on Saturday. Also pulled pads and hit em with some 80 grit. They were quite a bit better but no where near as good as my 315 with identical brakes.
I think it may be just crappy pads with a compound that does not work. Thats all I can figure out.
We at least got my brother through his 1st ever trials event...and he loved it. So thats good!
I am going to check and see what pads I have on my 315 and get a set ordered for him. His were galfers.

Hey David...they are basically new pads on the bike. But they have NO BITE at all. We tried everything to get em working better. I think they are just a funky super hard compound or something. You can barely lock the front up. Super weird. We even tried to scuff up the rotor/pads with some sandpaper. Nothing got em biting at all.

If anyone has some pads laying around! I need some front 315r brake pads. Late model 2004. I will be at Dallesport. White truck/trailer/popup camper. New used what ever...will be better than what we have!
I can buy them or order you some new ones! My brothers bike has some worthless front brakes and we have no new pads!
