When you grind this material off do you simply cut grooves perpindicular the the pads all thru out the pad or simply remove about a third of the pad with a grinder? I have backed off the adjustment so I have more pedal travel before it locks but still seems like it locks very quickly.
I cut the lead part of the shoe at a 45° so that dust is swept to the open end of the hub. And with a sharp step instead of a taper. Dust is the enemy and causes squealing, front and back with the stock pads.
Beyound that I keep the pedal low, close to the stop. It helps cause to lock it up I have to flex my ankle a bit. I am considering a sharper angle to remove more surface area. But some less effective brake material would be better.
