Method of purging air from a brake system's hydraulic lines and cylinders. Air is compressible and contaminates brake fluid. It is released via a "bleeder valve" on each wheel cylinder.
The basis of a disc brake system: a round metal disc which rotates with the road wheel and, in order to generate braking power, is clamped by a calliper holding two friction linings (pads).
The ratio of braking force distributed between the front and rear wheels.
Reduction (or complete loss) of braking performance, usually caused by too much heat in the system.
Liquid formulated specifically to be used in hydraulic brake systems.
Sensation transmitted to the driver during a braking action via the brake pedal.
Rigid tubing which links various hydraulic components in a brake system.
