mtbN00b Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 I have ProMax mechanical disc, 160 mm rotor (not sure of the precise name). But whenever i brake it makes a weird sounds and almost feels like if the discs wobbles . the disks looks perfect. I do not have a problem in braking at all. do you perhaps know what it can be?
droo Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Sounds like contaminated pads to me, search the tech section and you'll find a few answers
Aquatic Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Probably a bit of dirt causing the noise, i know sintered pads can also be noisy .Check the caliper and disk,maybe 1 of them isnt tightened properly
Aquatic Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Wouldnt changing to vees only be necassary if they problematic or are high maintanance or no braking power?
DownhillingKing Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Sounds exactly like cable disc brakes to me
dirtrider Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Upgrade to V-brakes. Before you go that route rather put a stick in your pocket and put that into your spokes if you feel like braking !
Johan Bornman Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Wouldnt changing to vees only be necassary if they problematic or are high maintanance or no braking power? Naaah! I say it only to get the disc brake apostles pop a vein and draw their guns. Things are too quiet here tonight. However, I have no doubt that good Vs are far better than cable discs on any day. But a real upgrade would be hydraulic.
dirtrider Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Haven't you got a wheel to build or a bearing to grease ?
Johan Bornman Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 See, my words are hardly cold and already the flies are struck to the sticky paper. Johan Bornman2009-10-29 12:12:46
Johan Bornman Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Sorry, on closer inspection it does seem like a stinkbug.

And when you collect it from him, you post a bottle of Jamesons to the desert for me instead of that top dollar. And buy him a beer droo2009-10-29 12:35:16
