Fao ginge (B19bal)
Got a mtb question for you if dont mind answering it???
right ive got a spesh fsr with a hope disc on the front (dont know which model it is but heres a pic)
the problem ive got is the disc brake squeals like a motha when it gets wet and for about an hour after is there any way of stopping this???
upto now all ive done is taken the pads out and cleaned them and cleaned the disc with disc brake cleaner but its still the same
Any suggestions please fella

who fitted the brakes ????
squeeling is usually caused by the rear touching before the front which causes vibration
but on hopes it also happens if ya get brake fluid on the pads some how ( get a bit on the disk and the pads soaks it up )
what pads ya got as ive found the fiberax ones squeal like fook all the time anyway
ive got a set of hope pads at work if yua want after christmas ill post em out to ya and see if that helps
the screech is made louder by the spokes amplifiying the noise too
or buy a mini disc player , that solves it so ya cant hear the screatch anymore
are ya pads still centered btw as the minis are fooking crap for keep going off center
and hopes stupis fooking idea of spacers to center em too
sorry but i hate the fact that hope aint deisgned em proper when theres so many easy things they over looked
like the location fo the fooking brake nipple, look at the mono mins, there offset to one side so ya can spill fluid on the disc and pads , bout time they sorted that
now they just gotta solve the fact the lever blade always comes loose due to wear and lose the nice brake feel
tbh the deore ones or the julies are much better feel
and i sell hope disks alot as there the easiest to get and people request em
but the good thing about the hopes are the cable connections, not like the maguras and always need to get new olives
oh and have ya fooked the top cap tiny allen keys yet, thats another pet hate

, tiff thats what most squell is on bikes, unlike cars the bikes aint presion machinging and somtimes the fork mounting points aint true and need the face machinng to the correct level to make em touch flat
i know fook all about cars, bikes i seem to get by with, but then i did manage a shop 5 months after i left school
im ok with cars but with bikes i used others bikes for practise
cant do it with cars, too much money

Cheers for the quick reply ginge
who fitted the brakes ????
The brake was already on it (2nd hand bike)
what pads ya got as ive found the fiberax ones squeal like fook all the time anyway
It just so happens they are fibrax pads
are ya pads still centered btw as the minis are fooking crap for keep going off center
Yes mate still centred but i know what you mean about the shitty way of centring them
ive got a set of hope pads at work if yua want after christmas ill post em out to ya and see if that helps
yes mate i'll be in touch after the new year and we'll sort something out
From what you've said im hoping its just gonna be pads so cheers for the help
