If there's one thing I don't like, it's bike noise (other than the
gentle swish of the tyres on the tarmac). After fitting a front disk
brake I'm pretty happy with the braking, but when using the brake for
the first time in a while there's a terrible amount of squeek and
squawk - it'll sometimes settle down a little after a while but always
return.
Happens in both wet and dry (worse in the wet), Done about 60M in
total over two rides.
Any tips for silent running?
Thanks,
Duncan.
Brake squeal is usually because the caliper mounts are not perfectly aligned.
The best solution is to use a facing jig to reface the mounting points in relation
to the axle, a decent bike shop can do this easily enough, it is less than an hours work.
