Rear brake engaged endo!

A month ago I installed ebc sintered brake pads on my 5th gen bike.

I have about 200 miles on them now and when I hit the rear brake hard the front end takes a huge dive and feels like a might go over the bars.

I don't remember my brakes feeling like this before the pad replacement.

Has anybody else had this problem? Thanks

 

which brakes did you put on & does it do it when you hit the fronts real hard??

This is a new one to me. Even with the linked brakes I do not notice that much front end dive when I mash the rear hard. Hmmmmmm......

 

me too. I dont see much "link" with mine either.

I was able to lock up my rear brake before the pad change.

The front end diving doesn't have me as worried as the idea of coming into a corner too hot and all I have is two front brake levers.

I don't know how long the brake pads take to wear in or if that has anything to do with this.

If I mash the rear brakes it dips just as bad in the front as if I hit the front lever itself.

 

you could always go back to stock pads that are not as agressive as the pads you put in.
