I have been reading the posts and such , hoping I could get answers before sounding stupid lol ...but alas guess I am going to venture in and feel stupid.
I have read many times about others upgrades ie braded lines etc. but the threads only state about they changed them out due to the sponginess of the old lines. My question is much simpler and more specific. I am happy enough at the moment with the front brakes other than going to get pads replaced ( not a super thrill rider here so...) however I have had on 2 differnt times (after riding for a while 20 mile jaunts) that when I put on rear brakes at intersections there is no rear brake? but starts working after like nothing is wrong. would you believe this to be the same issue as to why people have been switching to braded lines and if so is this a issue with the rear brabes on these bikes and not so much front brakes. I have parked the bike in my living room (no comment) till I can afford brakes and tires not willing to risk my butt for for lack of a few things needed.
did get a price on local shop here on dunlop front tire mounted $165. not really sure on prices but seems fair. havent asked them about brakes tho yet, may do those myself pads I dont think would be that expensive. but dang was shocked about the price of braided lines I must say.
