effect of rain on brakes

**mantoy** · May 30th, 2003 02:24 PM

napansin ko kasi these past 3 days na ulan ng ulan eh parang bumaba ang tapak ko sa brake pedal. as in i really have to step on it a bit deeper para lang kumagat. dahil kaya to sa ulan o me brake leaks na ako? kasi ni-check ko yung brake fluid level ko ok pa naman sya.

dahil sa ulan yan... pag dumadaan sa baha, humihina kapit ng brake pads kaya parang mas mahaba stopping distance (tama ba? pakicorrect nalang

)

kaya pagkadaan sa baha, bombahin mo yung brakes mo, andar ka ng mabagal, tapos apak sa brake ng mabigat para mejo matuyo until braking distances reduce to normal.

ah ganun ba? kinabahan lang ako kasi these past 3 days eh lagi akong napapadikit sa sinusundan ko pag nagbe-brake eh. :mrgreen::mrgreen: hirap talaga pag ulan ng ulan. :lol:

kung di bumabalik yung normal braking distance mo after mong bombahin, patingnan mo na rin just to be sure, baka may tagas na yung linya or warped disc...pwede ring ipit yung brake pad mo.

nangyari na sakin yan eh, sa SLEX pa! buti di ako nadisgrasya. :roll:

curious lang, may drum brakes ka ba sa ride mo? and kailan last cleaning/check up mo sa brakes? drum brakes are notorious for losing a lot of their effectiveness pag nabasa ang drums or pads!

kung disc lahat, tama naman sinabi ni ssaloon sa tingin ko. just one difference sa procedure ko...habang gumugolong ang ride mo, dahan-dahan lang....magaan lang muna pagtapak sa brake, just enough to make contact, then press down little by little...theory naman doon, para mag create ka na evenly heated surface na nakakatulong pag alis ng tubig through heat and evaporation. and this is only necessary pag nakadaan ka ng medyo malalim na tubig or you splashed through a serious puddle

turo lang sa akin ng dad ko yon dude, it might work for you too

Minsan may film of water na nabubuo between the disc pads and disc rotor kaya parang walang preno.

Drive slowly while slightly depressing the brakes to dry them immediately.

one more thing to remember when it's raining mga dre is hydroplaning effect. it has nothing to do with your brakes but it will keep you going even if you stand on your brake pedal. kahit konting baha lang (like 1/2 inch of water on the road) pag mabilis takbo mo, when your car hits that water then the wheels are not on the road. para kang nakasakay sa water ski, hindi sayad ang gulong mo sa road surface because of hydroplaning effect. thus hindi agad kakapit brakes mo and also you can't steer the car.

ingat lang mga peeps, tagulan na naman.
