Front brake squealing

--- Quote from: exvalvesetdabbler on May 02, 2026, 05:52:23 PM ---For something to compare with mine start to squeal after about 600 miles after deglazing. But I do quite a bit of around town riding so you tend to be on the brakes gently quite a bit.
When it was mot tested the numbers were always good even when squeaking.

I have not had an issue with the braking force it stops quite well for an old bike,

Hi Dave thanks for the video, just checked the brake arm as you suggested and it’s very free so behaving like yours , just going to scuff up the pads again while it’s off.

Slight glazing after bedding in again but not as bad as it was probably going to have to live with cleaning the pads every now and then simple job so not the end of the world
