get plenty lube in the cable, make a big difference

Yeah lube everything properly, boa or nippon up front, put a bit of extra spring on a nippon by disconnecting the thick wire spring and ragging it outwards a bit before refitting, shouldn't need to do that to a boa. AD990 if lugged or a pitbull if not for the rear. Pitbulls can be buggers to set up, don't really know why, such simple things really. Keep cable line as straight to it as poss + use trial and error with blocks... Good luck!

i used dc 901's at first on mine, work spot on when set up correctly, only thing is you cant spin bars , then had dc bulldogs with gyro( couldnt get enough brake pressure)
now ive got acs boa's and asc rotor ( smooth as and they work a treat)

nothing wrong with mx 1000's if set up right but i would definately use clear sticky pads though , they will stop anything ! not old school but they sure do work

mx 900s are the better caliper, less flex, more bite
