After that, easy ride home got them adjusted nice and central, spring even etc....cables lubed, maybe it'sthe pads(skyway copy)?...I found a few set up threads but any info on mx900/tech 4's set up greatly received!

Lovely to ride aint they Reference the brakes, you can adjust em all you want and try all the pads you like...they dont get any better Only thing i can suggest is some new school blocks but they will squeal lkie fook when you use em...you will stop though, eventually
yeah they will squeel like a pig! but will stop you. remember you were only the weight of a wet paper bag at the age of 12/13 and are probably a tad heavier now great bikes though and love Beats! i want another one!!
So if you're riding it Phil, where's the latest pic then as the last one you posted is missing a few vital parts Before you give up on the brake blocks, let them bed in a bit as they work far better than original Tuff pads but you can't adjust the rake and pitch of them like n/s blocks. They need a good run-in down a long hill mate, so give it a go.If you bring it to MK we'll sort it out as those n/s blocks squeal like a fookin' pig mate and will drive you mad so try and get your brakes adjusted up first....... Let's see this bad-boy then, chop-chop Spen ps - have you polished or painted the Kool Kaps white bud as they look awesome
You could always get new Demolition pads in white, they;d work well i reckon
love a beat me.had quite a few.really nice build.i'd spin the seat guts round though mate.will look loads better with that sorted.
