    Mud accelerates the wear on brake components more than people give it credit. Especially if it hasn't been cleaned off before it dries - yes I know that's hard when you're out bush.

    If everything is adjusted right and working BEFORE you head bush, then I'd presume that it's the mud that's causing the damage.

    the wheels turn freely with a bit of weight behind them. but you cant shake the wheel like as if it has loose bearing.
