The rear or front brake is weak — what to do?
- Replace the brake fluid.
- Bleed it: if the lever goes all the way to the bar, there's air in the system. Laying the bike on its left side and pumping the lever about 15 times helps.
- Fit a spring-steel disc (sold by aftermarket makers).
For the rear, people also fit a 9 mm clutch master cylinder and Polisport levers.
