Brakes dont work?

Postby NOTTS Si on Wed Jan 14, 2004 4:09 pm

my brakes dont seem as sharp as they should be, i have recxently had new shoes and pads and cylinders. My system was then bleed to get rid of the air but its still not right. I need to get this sorted asap but cant afford a garage as my recent lack of brakes ment a new rear axle. Is there anything i can check first before the dreeded garage? Cheers

you need to let the new shoes and pads bed in. They won't be s**t hot first off.
