0zzy Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 the squeek is down to the pad and grind combination? what pads are you running and are you running a grind, i also like a loud brake its very confident boosting to know that its working!

Bigman Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 the squeek is down to the pad and grind combination? what pads are you running and are you running a grind, i also like a loud brake its very confident boosting to know that its working! Not neccesarily! I have had many loud brakes that have been shite! and Loads of silent brakes that I would trust more than anything! But back to the first question, its pad and rim setup, different pads and rims (whether ground or not) will make different sounds, I don't go on sound at all any more, I just ride whatever works best, although I will admit that at the moment my current setup is one of the loudest I have used, and it does work VERY well! although I would love to have a silent brake again!

CalRobbo341 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Rear is very loud atm, just normal black magura pads and an onza hog rim no grind Front I didnt get too long ago, koolstop red brake pads (http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/hydraulic_rim_brakes/magura_hs33_2011_trials_edition/c72p11689.html) and a brand new trialtech rim on a hope hub.

Your brake performance won't be very good with those pads. Get some better ones, such as Heatsink Yellows or TNN LGM's and you will have a much nicer brake! Oh yeah, grind your rim as well. Makes a world of a difference. Edited January 18, 2012 by davidbarr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Firstly congrats for not moaning that you brake is crap! Your brake can't be that great with that setup! Personally I would much rather have a silent brake as long as it works, iv had brakes that make your ears bleed! But like people say it does give you confidence Firstly I would get a grind, there should be a video guide to do this if your unsure some where 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 The juice from grapes works as well as coke or tar Oh jesus its 1999 again. A harsh grind, no booster, a toed in pad (Rockman, TNN, whatever)and ever so slightly loose bolts will make a loud, but shit brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Vandart Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Get the 'brake honk' app for your I-phone and get yer mate to hang out in the bushes, he can press the button every time you need it and there you go job done.

dirt jumper jake Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Remove your brake levers and replace them with air horns. everytime you want to stop just pull the trigger of the horn. Hurrah, a f**king loud brake. Edited January 23, 2012 by dirt jumper jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
