My first car was nortorious for it, never found out the reason why cos i put the front of it into a side of an embankment, kinda didnt need the brakes anymore!!!!

Check your brake lines, fluid levels as there may be a block in the line, out of interest how much do you have left on your pads?

Similar thing happen to me but whenever I ride on something bumpy and brake at the same time, I feel something is 'rattling' and can feel it with my feet and could also hear it too... First I thought a tiny rock or dust or something got caught between the brakes... but happens quite often to me...only on bumps, otherwise it's just fine...

that's normal, ABS activates when it founds no traction.

Yeah...... ABS, it always happens to me cos the road condition is too bad around and those "HOT" car loves to play late braking
