Hi There,
My DH does most of our mechanical work, but I will try to help out. Our brake
pads have needed changing after extended periods of riding in the mud and slop. The noise sounds something akin to...hmmm...metal grinding on metal, and loss of braking pwer.

I have helped in the changing of the pads, it seems pretty straight forward. DH says he got the info on their website.

He says keep an eye on the rear brake cable, it is not enclosed, so mud and gunk can build up inside. He says if you do not ride in mud you are fine.

Also when cleaning the brake rotor, use rubbing alcohol and a clean rag. Do not touch the rotor with you fingers. The oli is bad for the brakes.

Advice from my mechanic.....
