Hi,
I'm struggling with my XT m775 brakes and I'm trying to figure out what the solution is. The brakes came stock with the metal pads (which have been pretty noisy), and while they feel outstanding at lower speeds, they were pretty freaking terrible in Whistler...got to the point where they were absolutely howling every time the brakes came on, but there was very little stopping power. I know of other people that rock m775s with good success for all kinds of riding, so I'm guessing that my issue is with the pads. I'm running a 203mm front rotor and 185mm rear which gives the brakes plenty of leverage to stop my wheels, so why the extreme brake fade?
Should I be going with the resin pads instead of the metal? Or should I just try pads from a different company?
Thanks.
