hard brake pedal

Just rebled the brakes to try and get some feel in the pedal. I've got a bit of movement before the pedal acts on the piston in the master cylinder but after that the pedal is virtualy solid. the brakes work ok but you really have to press on the pedal to get more braking effect is this common on non servo assisted brakes , I put it down to new disks and pads at the last trackday

This is perfectly normal for non servo brakes, once you have taken up all the play in the system you are trying to compress fluid that just wont compress, ergo hard pedal. Hope that makes sence. atb Chippy

you get used to it after a bit and can modulate the brakes a lot better.

And if you don't get used to it, replace your braided brake hoses with standard ones. This will make the pedal a bit softer, which I personally like better.
