mtbN00b Posted October 29, 2009 Share 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 Share Sounds like contaminated pads to me, search the tech section and you'll find a few answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatic Posted October 29, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquatic Posted October 29, 2009 Share Wouldnt changing to vees only be necassary if they problematic or are high maintanance or no braking power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownhillingKing Posted October 29, 2009 Share Sounds exactly like cable disc brakes to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtrider Posted October 29, 2009 Share 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Bornman Posted October 29, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when you collect it from him, you post a bottle of Jamesons to the desert for me instead of that top dollar.
