Brake Fade

[kargaaro]

I was out mud riding yesterday and my front brakes were fading bad. I would have to pull the handle a few times before the pressure would build and apply the brakes. My friend said it could be a bent rotor? Anything else it could be??

they will fade in the mud, it may have been taking a few pulls to get the rotor and pads dry enough to grab. Or could also just be worn rotors or pads or brake lines expanding if u don't have steel braided lines. Also check your fluid level

Yeah it was really wet and muddy but I've done tons of mud riding and have never that that happen. I will check it out this weekend when it's dry and see if it still happens. Thanks.

what brand of pads are you running? Some "cheaper" types are horrible in wet/muddy conditions.
