\"Pad knock-back\" what is it?

Postby Steampunk » Thu May 15, 2008 1:03 pm

I asked this guy ages ago why he was tapping the brakes with his left-foot on occassion, and he said \"it's to avoid 'pad knock-back'\"

What does that mean? :roll:

Your MX doesn't have opposing piston calipers... floating calipers don't get knock-back
