Brake Caliper adjustment bolt
exvalvesetdabbler:
My front brake is a source of frustration. Have to bust the glaze off the pads once a year to stop them squealing. When the old ladies drop their shopping bags at the bus stop it's time to clean them up.
Problem seems worse with modern pad material. Slathering grease everywhere makes no difference and I still have the nylon ring between the pad and piston.
Regards
Dave

In 1982 riding past the Leather Lane Market in EC2 London with brake squeal I had an orange thrown at me! ;D

I'll try that outside the chippy, might get a free supper😊👍

For squealing, the old trick is to bevel the leading edge of the pad.

And take the glaze off with fine abrasive on a flat surface, followed by a good squirt of brake cleaner.
