Knowing what I know now, a stock replacement should be just fine if I clean it every time I pull the chain case open for that service. Just something I’ve ignored to this point. I haven’t had any issues with brakes on any of my Axys chassis sleds. Then again, I don’t ride the brakes too much. Following @X2700 and @D-rail around at times, I can see with how much braking you guys do that you have tested the brakes extensively.

That’s fuckin’ hilarious!!

I mean seriously, it wasn’t such a bad thing to do back in the 80’s, to borrow money that would eventually get an 8% interest rate when the housing market was north of 12%. But come on, that’s 40+ years ago. Other than simply not paying it back, I don’t see how you could borrow enough to not have paid it back by now… unless of course you are taking loans out for education in your 40’s and 50’s.

Really - that many people that age still have student loan debt?? It’s hard to believe…

Reminds me of a great bar conversation I had with some friends a few years ago. One guy says to us since he got the Covid his dick grew 6”! So you’re telling me, you had no smell, no taste, and now no sight?

Or just the opposite is no less disgusting - as in bailing out people “peacefully” burning down cities in the name of racial justice.

The fix turned out pretty good IMO

Sounds like the DOJ is looking into the plea deals citing racist bias. Might get interesting…

It really is glorious in central Sconnie today…

So for me it’s: Hunter Biden Created Covid to keep the Lizard Overlords Happy… 😂

Are they coming home already?? Couple more weeks here at UWSP.

Now the elephant in the room (to me anyways) who is Frank Bursik?

Yup, based on how they cocked themselves with the way the pads wore, and the fact that brakes are something I have hardly ever had to address on a sled, I’m sure that’s the case. May just splurge the $360 and start with an all new caliper this time.

I saw this, some pretty cool older Polaris race sleds - too bad they don’t know the Mfg date is not the model year on those.

I’m guessing that’s the case here, as the lever still easily moves the pistons in their current position, but they will not go back in enough for new pads.

7 loads today, 9 in total so far, 2-3 more to go…

It’s full on maintenance season… amazing the shit you find when miles start racking up! The parts list is growing…

They slapped a $2M bond on him… I hope that’s enough because this guy shouldn’t ever see the light of day.

Maybe - I have replaced the fluid once. And I’ve had the caliper off numerous times going through the chain case, just never replaced pads, so never had to squeeze these back in. I’m guess there is something to that theory though as when I pull the level, they move rather freely. Seems like there is a point where the lever could “release” this pressure, just hard to do by myself without a better/smaller clamp.

Here’s the important stuff going on in his state today… https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/itll-soon-be-against-the-law-in-minneapolis-to-discriminate-against-weight-joining-only-handful-of-cities/

That’s what I thought @X2700 … I’m going to get one of my smaller c-clamps from the old shop that should fit better and see if squeezing it uniformly works better.

Any tricks to compressing these besides a better/smaller c-clamp? They aren’t moving as I had hoped. This is on my 18 XCR with 15k+

If I was a professor handing out grades, that would be a big “F”.
