Max F Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) This is not my video but I had similar noises on two of my disc brakes. First on a BB5 and now on a Hope Tech Trial. (on the Hope brake it's not as intense as in the video but still annoying) I already tried to fix it many times and the brake is adjusted perfectly now but the noise is still there sometimes. (If I clean the pads from brake dust it's gone for like 10 minutes until the brake is bedded in again) Does anyone know what exactly causes this kind of noise?

FamilyBiker Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) its the holes in the disc together with the sharp edges of the pads. if you file the edges at an angle it will be gone Uploaded with ImageShack.us Edited May 1, 2014 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max F Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I actually already did that That was just what I could imagine to cause a noise like this. So I angeled the edges but it didn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 as long as the power is there i wouldnt bother. on tektro brakes this is a built-in feature lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Means it's working well. Not sure if serious but yeah, I always associated that sound with maximum braking performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
