jagwil Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 HeyMy front disk is screaming when I break. What can be the problem ? The pads are still new and I cant think of any other reason why it would scream..Confused.. When you "break" a brake it probably would scream. If it screams when you brake, then the advice above is probably good.

TNT1 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Oh, but as to the original point, using coke on the pads seems very counter intuitive towards what is causing the symptoms. It sounds like a treatment that would actually cause the symptoms, so if it works, I'd assume it's actually covering the cause up, not curing it. Either way, I'd not recommend puting something like that on your bike.

[/quote'] someting can't be counter-intuitive towards something, twit. as stated the coke will help bed in the brake, not cover up the cause, which is, simply, that shimano rotors take longer to bed in.
GoLefty!! Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 coke will help bed in the brakes. screaming brakes is usually the result of contaminaton with oil.,..or it can be that the something has not been tightened up properly. If you've cleaned the lot then check if all the bolts are done up properly
Dirtbreath Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Steel pads? If its dry try running a set of resin pads on newer rotors. I find resin pads run quieter, feel better and bed a new rotor in easier. If its wet, dont run resin but just sand your pads. Roughen them up by lying sand paper on a flat surface and then rubbing the pad across it. Dont put the paper in your hand and sad 'cos you'll misshape the pad which will perpetuate uneven wear. Never tried the Coke.
TNT1 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Ok, ASTANA, looks like you have two choices, although, according to hr, you don't even have a problem. 1. live with it, it just take longer for them the bed in (which seems odd that they didn't squeal before, but they suddenly started it - delayed sleep in?) or 2. pour some soft drink on your bike. Seems like an odd set of choices to me, but hey. the lord of thehub has spoken.
