Disc Brake Pads

Recommended Posts

My front ones squeal like a stuck pig - bad enough to not want to use them.  Used disc cleaner on the rotors and pads and sanded the pads - no luck - probably got contaminated too badly.

 

Which pads out there are good, and good value for money?  I've got XT brakes.

I have got 2 sets of pads for the M775 (2008 XT) brakes. R380.00 for 2 pairs.

 

My bike is a 07 model - how do I know whether it is M775 or not?

The M775's look like this:

(sorry this isnt helping your problem)

Not too sure, but have you checked things like all the bolts are properly tight. I had bad a vibration (not squeel) on a hardtail that turned out to be play in the hub.

 

Spacers in the bolts connecting the caliper to the frame could induce a vibration. A squeel might be dust behind the pads?

 

Not too sure - often difficult to fix.
