Mechanical type brakes are very good when new and working on new cast iron rotors. After that, constant adjustment and maintenance is essential. After a number of red-light stops on the way to and from the ramps, you will need to adjust the cables due to stretching. If not, you will loose safe breaking efficiency quickly. TITAN Trailer Brakes has developed non-seizing, auto adjusting mechanical disc brakes.
