After installing a set of Hayes 9's on the Trance build project, I was amazed by their power compared to the same brakes on my Anthem. It was then the memories of being launched over the bars of the Anthem came back to me (Ohhh those were good times Good times
) It seems in my attempts to keep everything shiny and rust free, the application of (choose your lube spray of choice) to said brake rotors and calipers (pads) has over time diminished stopping power and with no comparison went unnoticed. This in moderation could be a good thing in some cases (see above reference to awesome superman like flight) but overall is probably something to keep in check. My two cents from the school of hard knocks.
