Revv1 FS Brake Fix
Hey everyone. I've been commuting in Boston on my Revv1 FS since late 2024 (~1,500 miles). Love the bike, but my brakes are a mess.
Spongy Rear Brake: I have to pump the brakes like 5 times to get any pressure. It came from the factory needing extra pumps, but it's significantly worse now.
Terrible Noise: Both brakes make a crazy sound under load. I swapped the rear pads at 900 miles, and the fronts are getting low. I am aware that this is a common problem with stock pads.
I don't have many tools to fix it myself. When I took it to a shop for the pad replacement, they claimed a brake bleed wouldn't help since "the bike came like that." They quoted me $700 for a full brake replacement with mt5es.
I want a cheap but reasonable fix. What exactly should I ask a (different) mechanic to do, or what specific replacement parts should I buy to have them install?
Any other suggestions? Thanks
