Hello everybody!
I´ve been enjoying the RX3 for a while and I´m only worried about the brakes power, I believe it´s the weekest point of the bike and would like to improove it.
Please let me know if you have discussed it in another thread.
I read somewhere else that the front brake power can be improoved by changing the line with a shielded or reinforced one, anybody tried it or has any other solution like changing the caliper or disc size?
Many thanks!

pepelepua, I've got around 6125 miles on my RX3 and the brakes are working fine for me. Maybe not like a high dollar road bike's but plenty of brake for my usage on the RX3, rj

As with RJ, my brakes also work well, and I am pleased with them. However, CSC is developing better, aftermarket brake pads for the stock, front brake caliper. In addition, CSC is also developing an improved, aftermarket, front brake rotor.

Also, you can purchase a different front brake caliper and adapter from Taobao.



In addition, you can also purchase an oversize, front brake rotor, which fits another front brake caliper.
