I have recently bought a Mondraker Foxy RR which I love but I have a problem with my Formula RX brakes (particularly the back one) and was hoping someone might be able to give me some insight.
There is hardly any modulation and you only have to touch the lever gently and they are almost full on and the back wheel locks up. I then start skidding and if it’s a particularly steep drop usually end up with the back wheel at the front and me on the floor.
Everything I have read suggests they auto adjust and have great modulation, mine just seem to be on or off at the slightest touch. I have just had the pads changed at my local bike shop but it hasn’t made much difference. I had to change the tyres over almost immediately when I first had it and getting the wheel off the back was really tricky (pivot bolt jammed tight) was wondering if I could have knocked anything out of line but the guy at the bike shop said it looked fine.
The brakes are not the latest model with the bite adjuster on the lever unfortunately.
Any ideas would be really welcomed as I am struggling and losing confidence in an awesome bike….
Thanks!
