Marius Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Hey Disc-weenies (see what I did there..), maybe you cna help Lilo with her XTR Disc's. After a few rides the front disc Pad starts to rub against the disc putting resistance on the wheel rotation and it makes a chirping sound. <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> She had taken the bike in 3 times already and every time the same problem starts up again after 1 or two races. I understand from what Fredd at Geco told me that XTR Disc are suppose to be self allining?? but it's not happing, HELP?!?!?!
Mudsimus Posted July 19, 2007 Author Posted July 19, 2007 Check that the callipers are alligned in the first place. Take out the pads clean the callipers. And rebleed.
Mudsimus Posted July 19, 2007 Author Posted July 19, 2007 All the above on this baby. Minus the fork (marzocchi) , Cranks ( Kcnc) , seatpost and stem (Mr Thomson offcourse)

Spinnekop Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Avid Juicy Ultimates: they are the Ultimate breaks. Period. I can second that!!!! Love the Magura SL's as well!!!
Marius Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Check that the callipers are alligned in the first place. Take out the pads clean the callipers. And rebleed. what if the callipers are not alligned, how do I allign them?? Think they cleaned the pads to death already. Rebleed, mmm, I'll tell them to do that.
Mudsimus Posted July 19, 2007 Author Posted July 19, 2007 You get spacers to allign the callipers. But rather take it to a shop. The bleeding is very easy,let them show you and next time DIY.
Marius Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 sweet, I don't think Fredd's machnic has heard of spacers before or he would have fixed it the first damn time...I'll tjune him, thx a Mil!
Buff Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Yeah, I set up a mates 2007 XTR just before the Epic. They come with 2 or 3 spacers per caliper to allign correctly. Also make sure the wheels is set correctly before doing the allignment . Take it to Mark, he know's what he's doing.
Marius Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 A-HA! See, i was not sure it Mark new anyhting about Mtb's, I've been thinking of taking it to him cuz when you take stuff to him they stay RIGHT!!! ... think Lilo will have to do that, this farting back and forth to Fredd is getting out of hand..
CaptainDura Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Well from what I could find out the Hope Mono Mini Pros are the lightest with the best performance. And at +-R5000 a set its not to bad. I have never had Hope mini pro's but what i have read on many reviews is that the hopes get hot, which means the fluid loses some of their hydraulic properties resulting in spongy brakes. That is what the most reviews say. According to those same reviews the formula oro and juicy ultimate does not suffer the same fate.. Just a thought.
Buff Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 If he doesn't know anything he'll phone me and ask me to come fix it for him. I contract my mtb workshop skills out at R500 p/h
Marius Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 that sounds just about right, that what I had to pay at Geco, ok, but they did wash it and put in a New BB, and leaned my pully wheels, oh, and I bought some Squirt and a Tubeless Plug kit...mmm, you are starting to sound a bit expensive
