My front brake seems to not want to work all the time, which resulted in a (albeit slow) front wheel tree interface scenario which at speed could have been nasty. Brake is a shimano Lx from a couple of years ao. Pad are relatively unworn and recently been bled by the lbs. seems to need about twice the force to lock the front up than the back. It is only a 160mm and i am about 14.5 stone ish so maybe need a bigger front rotor. your suggestions please for brake and for beer.
Cheers

Contaminated pads? – Im under 18 so it would be inappropriate to comment 😉

bigger roter, new pads (contamination), spitfire ale 😀

If there’s pressure on the lever it does sound like the pads have some brake fluid on them.

Don’t you guys north of the border all drink Buckfast? 😉

Gem from Bath Ales. You can buy it online. Very Nice.

Only if you are a proper ned. So watch it or I’ll stick the heid on ye!

Timothy Taylor’s Landlord, or Harvey’s Best.

The brake problem will suddenly be clear after 8 pints of either.

No idea on the brakes, but try Abbeydale Absolution, lovely stuff.
