My T-1's OEM brakes do not engage until you have enough power applied that they lock up the wheel. Then, they snap the disk over and lock up. if you back off they become proportional. I am thinking that the electromagnet needs a lot of pull to get the disk off the retraction magnets in the hub. Once it has enough power to do that, that is enough power to lock them up. Makes for a bad braking experience every time. I am wondering if this LG 15 overcomes this mechanical design flaw. ?? Not sure how it could. Has anyone figured this issue out?
