on my 200s i have the front brake setup, but my cable kinda sticks and everytime i use the front brakes i feel like im about to tip. Should i cut bait and remove them or just leave it like it is and not touch the handle?:confused: open to ideas. kinda though of removing the assembly and just painting the outer case to match my rim, no cable or inner parts.

i like haven my front breaks on my 200es . i like them because if you are going up a high hill and u have to roll back down you can use the front break and not flip over back wards like useing the rear break ,,, i would fix them but thats just me

Front brake is the best one on a trike. Like said when rolling down a hill backwards you want that front brake, and hell the front works a lot better stopping from high speeds than the rear anyhow.

All you need to do is get a new cable (approx $12) and maybe new pads ($20). but if they stick - you prolly don't need pads. You should try to take them apart - clean and grease everything and put them back into working order. Don't put a bandaid on a festering wound!

FRONT brakes are a must! when I race flat track I only use my front brakes! plus like tim said its only a few beans to get them going again WTF?

I agree, I used to never have front brakes especially when my bike was for a dragger, but now that I shortened it and ride it for trails and such front brakes are a blessing!!

the front brake on my KX80 was sticking. turns out the inner brake pad fell out of the caliper, and the caliper piston replaced the brake pad as the friction stopper, and it was a bit stickier due to the excess heat frying the caliper......
