They are supposed to be self adjusting, so that the pads move inward as they wear, but it doesn't always work. Even when functioning perfectly, they still aren't great. Everyone here here will recommend the setup that awk makes, it works great
That's right^. I wouldn't even waste effort trying to make those work. To each there own though.
As stated above, the problem with the mechanical brakes is the self adjuster. I tried everything to get them to work. New pads, shorty cable and still after every ride had to pull the cover off and adjust the self adjuster. After riding for a couple hours they would just stop working. The shorty cable does take alot of the play out of the system but still no worky.
Do these look like stock brakes for a 2000 blaster?no link, but I can send you the info
Ok
ok I'm trying to go the cheap route for now and buy the pad kit on eBay u sent me and eventually go with your hydro setup!
I noticed my disk in the back is loose between the pads? Is this because of worn pads?
Does the axle move inside the brake hub when brakes applied? Or are talking about the side to side play the disc has?
It's suppose to do that. It's a floating rear disc.
One side of the brake caliper is fixed. When you apply pressure to the pedal, the non fixed side pushes the disc into the other pad. It does that to create even wear on the pads.
