So if you want good brakes, lube the cams and cables.
Thanks for the heads up on this Mudflap. Even with my cables so tight you can barely set the parking brake pin, it's useless. I have to keep it in gear on a slight hill when the parking brake is on or it will roll away. I never bothered to even check it out for issues because it got to a point to where I ignore it.
If I ever get around to getting Mrs 2LZ her Coolster 150 quad, it will be the front disk one they offer.
