Deck 18: Brakes, Wheels, and Tires

Question 1

Describe the advantages of using sintered brake pads.

Answer 1

Sintered brake pads heat up quicker and offer more friction in the braking process earlier. Also, they perform much better than organic pads in wet weather and fade less under hard braking conditions. They also have a more defined bite point.

Question 2

You must replace the seals and all rubber parts if you switch from silicone to glycol based brake fluid.

Answer 2

True
