Bionic Balls Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) tis the one with the "booster look-alike" built in (v-brake..)...which is part of the parallel push thang (so the pad hits squarely).thing is..the boostery bit is all floppy (IE: lots of play back and forth) which i think is the reason for the unbelievably loud squeak of my front brake. Time's up- i'v had enough and my ears hurt.It is a few years old...but can I tighten it up? I almost want to put a spacer in there but i can't get it apart enough to put it where I want it...you need to see one really..is it fixable?cheers,adamedit: ooo sorry...apparently there is a 2mm allen bolt in the depths of the arch which tightens it :$ ....suppose i need to look harder! Seems that avid is now part of sram if anyone else has trouble finding the avid website.... Edited July 30, 2007 by ad101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_skj0lsvik_ Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Do you use a normal booster on-top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 They all go like that I believe. Not much you can do I don't think. SD7s and Ultimates are better, for this reason - the arch rivals just don't last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26inch Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I doubt it is the acrh bit making it squeak, a brake squeaks because the pads are vibrating, try putting copper grease on the brake mounts and the washers behind your pads + make sure all the bolts are tight. On my xt vbrake the linkages for the parallel push are real loose but they dont squeak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 the parallel push bit is what is making the pads wobble though! they are free to move on 3 pivots (i thinks...according to avid) which gives the parallely bit. the arch direction is giving the most wobble...
