davey90 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hello, i,m having a bit of a problem with the noise coming off my rear magura. Set up is Hs33 Raceline, Standard Hoses, Evo Mounts, A Mahoosive brake booster,Red Superstar Pads and a smooth Sun Mammoth Fat rim. Problem is that its rediculosly noisey, every curtain twitches and heads turn as i roll down the strret with my break squealing like an pig in labour. Is there anyway possible of reducing the noise without changing the pads, as they work amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Cake your rim in WD40? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Go dual disc.Loud brakes are just on of those things really! As long as it's working well let it be and enjoy the confused looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey90 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Cake your rim in WD40? Surely that will irradicate all kind of braking power i have, or are you being funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N Roach Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 file the corners of your pads, just enough so there is no sharp ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum-Luvs-Trials Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 . .you could try stop using your back brak when you don't have to ,that's what i have doneI did this before and you do get used to controling your front brake more aswell, until I brought front vee and plaz pads, now my front is louder than my back brake so I have no choice.

Fishy Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Heatsink is by far the stiffest booster I've ever used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcinnes Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 My brake is really loud now, but some people like it that way ( me included ), lets you know there a nice bite to your brake.But to reduce the noise, change pads or run a stiff booster, thats all i can think of.McInnes.

davey90 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Tried filing the edges of the pads off and it made a little bit of a difference . Seeing as the brakes is holding so well my neighbours are just going to have to get used to the noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George ZHI Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 It's proubly your pads, i hear they do make NOISE, either possibly change to disk, if your running tar, dont! or just experiment with different pads. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 . . my breaks are SO loud and i love it , its your braks way of letting you know there working . . . . .. .. .you could try stop using your back brak when you don't have to ,that's what i have done?I fitted a brake booster and my back brake is silentHowever when I used to run two maguras on my mod, I preferred a loud back brake and a quiet front brake, so I could use the front one just for riding. It also meant that it would offer more modulation, so front wheel moves would work, only I never did them on it, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
