Squeaking front brake
Bryanj:
If anybody can remember the Citroen GS the manufactures idea to stop squeaky brakes was to put two finger lines of Copperslip on either side of the DISC!!!! and yes it worked but they had the high pressure breaking system worked off the suspension. Apparently it stopped the dust collecting in the pad crevasses.
PLEASE NOTE I am NOT recommending this just recounting and old manufactures fix

Since returning from a fairly lengthy visit to Japan last week, the front brakes are squeaking heavily on both bikes. They were not too bad before being parked up, the discs rotate freely enough so I assume it must be down to the change in temperature (it was in the 30's when I went)?

The brake on mine has always been noisy, i.e. in the last 23 years of use. It seems that when the caliper is adjusted correctly and the brake is at it's best, it squeaks the most. Turning kinetic energy into sound waves is how these things stop :)

Isn't that what a band does Steve?

Just had the froont brake apart. Put some silicone lube behind the discs and set the fixed caliper at 0.16 ...still it squeaks!
