Brake Squeal

<< < (2/2)

Dave M:
It's nice to know I'm not the only one who squeals!

It's so loud though!

matthewmosse:
Mine did that for a while then stopped randomly, fairly sure nylon disk thingy was fitted though I cann't be sure as if I get a problem I just nick a bit off one of my spares bikes ;D Best bet ride the nuts off it and hope it stops. I'm fairly sure the pads in mine are pattern as I'm too tight to use genuine. The squeal lasted for a few months commuting then went for no real reason.

florence:
My front brake has always made a terrible scream.  I find it comforting though because it seems to be about the only thing going on down there!  At least people can hear me coming up to a corner, which I am sure must be a good thing.  I don't think it's possible to eliminate it completely.  Last time it went quiet the brake needed adjusting and was performing worse than ever.  As soon as I had adjusted it the familiar squeal returned.  I am sorry that this doeasn't help, just offering solidarity from a fellow front brake noise polluter.
