Posted April 30, 201014 yr I have a single disc setup, using the strange looking pivoting caliper, the one with wedge shaped pads!!!, this is my first experience of this type of caliper and I'm not sure I want to continue using the god awful thing. It appears a previous owner has rebuilt the caliper with new seals and the master cylinder looks clean enough, I have bled new fluid into the system but the effort required to give even a small amount of braking effect is crazy. The brake line is still the rubber original but I'm not convinced changing it will give significantly better performance. Is there a direct bolt on upgrade from a newer machine or have I got it all wrong about this oddball caliper. I have had olde japper-neese bikes before and I know the braking performance is nothing like a modern bike, but it would nice to have something a little stronger.
