If your pads are wearing down' date=' would it cause them to squeal?

Possibly,but worn pads and worn rotors will cause the pistons in your caliper to stick and not retract like they should,this in turn can cause light brake rub which can glaze the pads and rotors,this can then squeal.

Don't try to treat the squeal(symptom),treat the cause.

 

 

what smack the horse so it doesnt squeal ?

No,put disc cleaner under the horses tail,the squeal(ing rider)  will go away

I didnt expect annything less from a topic heading like that' date=' boys, you have outdone yourselves you had me in stitches on page one.

 

The brake pads might be glazed is my answer, but Shimano metal sintered pads squeals like no woman can even when not glazed.

 

?

 

I should tell you the story about the lady on the horse at tokai... my brakes squealed the horse got a fright and almost threw her off. she was well pissed off and uses beadroom language?while verbaly assulting me?me.

 

Im not going to elaborate though, a story with a lady, a horse and squealing doesnd make for a pretty ending on this fret.

[/quote']You mean louder than when you roger a woman in the butty hole and then wipe your manhood off on the curtains

 

?

 

That's wrong. sies!!...en yuck!

 

 

 

Yeah! Leave the curtains out of this !

Thank you all for your pearls of wisdom - I now assume that one shouldn't use a 10-in-1 lubricant  on the pads but should rather  refer this tender matter to the genius/generous hubber community.

 

Thanks for the effort - I think I'll let my LBS solve the problem - I can't get no satisfaction here................

The quickest and easiest way to sort out noisy brake pads and to bed them in chop-chop is to get some very fine sandpaper 300 or so and lightly run the pads along the paper in the same direction as what the rotor will run for a few strokes,  problem sorted.

Note: Some metal brake pads do squeal, period.

You should not have squealing brakes dude...real men don't use them.

Was comical at Lourensford with my squealers (even V's can squel). Constantly had riders in front of me pull over to check their bikes as they all thought it was them
