Asking to much from my brake?

1mancity2

Have an Avid elixir 1 with a 180mm rotor on the rear of the dj, when I try to hold the bike on the rear wheel the brake lets go and starts to slip.

Been rebleed twice, cleaned with isop, new kevlar pads, asking to much from it?

yeah that doesnt sound right. i have elixir Rs with a 160mm rear and it holds the bike with my weight on it down a slight incline.

maybe I'm just getting old, but I'm unfamiliar with this repair technique of "wazzing"

I thought it was something you shouldn't do in public.

If you have never "wazzed" anything in, you ain't lived.......

Anyway it worked, all good now, until it needs wazzing again.

I understand that certain activites that are socially acceptable in Manchester are not socially acceptable elsewhere, like walking out of a shop with goods and not paying........allegedly!
