Re: 3tj braking problems
Have you got the right m/c for them calipers??
Wrong m/c = shit brakes.
Or, the usual tie the lever to the bars and see if that helps..

Re: 3tj braking problems
Have you tried putting discs on your wheel? I sometimes find that helps with braking problems

Re: 3tj braking problems
get some thicker soled boots, you'll stop better when you put your feet down!
