So im riding a ironhorse sunday for fun and to get a handle on different suspension s and feel.
Here's the problem first day at the mtn the brakes were fi e swapped pads to metallic and first half a run down the mountain the next day the brakes cooked the fluid and had NO brakes s co ng through the woods and steeps. Had to stop every 1/3 down and cool them without water it sizzled when off the caliper.
These were avid elixir cr's with 180mm rear rotor (been running this size rear for years no issues).
So I swapped breaks to formula the ones and I sanded the rotor to bear metal got rid of the glaze and took it out again. 1/2 down brakes had major fade and the rotors were sizzling.
Is this a issue with airflow to the rotor on this bike?
Is it a issue with the way the suspension acts under load and rocks with the suspension moving
Is the rotor possibly cooked beyond use and never had to run a 203day but now im looking to upside. This is the first time on this bike and I've had this issue with 2 different brake systems.
