Dear all,

I've replaced my Wira rear drum brake with a disc type. How ever it seems that the grip is not really as a drum brake eventhough it has been adjusted up to the maximum. This also lead to my worry either my rear brake is OK or not during normal brake (I know handbrake is nothing to do with normal brake since it using separate line/wire). Do I need to change the brake pad or what?
P/s: currently the brake pad is an original from halfcut.
