KLE front brake upgrade anyone?
Hallo everybody.
Have anyone upgrade the front brake?on his KLE? and what has he done? Does a front brake pump from another bike (e.x trnasalp) fits on our KLE? Thanks.

There are previous posts about the brakes.
I think the problem is more to do with the amount of dive in the forks that give the impression of poor brakes. Without doubt, fit stainless brake lines. You can upgrade your discs and pads also but try putting 8-10 psi in your forks with a bicycle pump. This will make the world of difference. The combination of all the above works for me. Some have fitted progressive fork springs that offer massive improvment. Like I said, Check the earlier threds and you will find links and part Numbers etc... Hope this helps Roy

Definitely braided lines and better pads! The stock caliper is fairly crappy but I dont think there are alternatives that will fit.
If you really still were not happy enough a slightly bigger (pretty sure thats how it works) brake master cylinder (where your lever attaches) would make it bite harder/quicker but reduce some modulation/feel. Eg Brembo one off a road bike etc. Although I have a 320mm disc on mine with one finger braking performance!
