poopipe Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 another disk question (i should probably have stuck to a maggie on the front really) theres a very quiet squelch noise when I pull my front lever, it's really short and the brake still works fine - i didnt notice it until i was doing a bit of tweaking and tuning while waiting for my wrist to stop being sprained its a louise FR, does it need bleeding or do they all do that? if its a leak i can get a new one off magura cant i? - it's only a couple of months old.

Mark W Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Is it actually leaking, or do you just mean that it makes a noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyroo Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Sounds like theres some grease or magura blood on the wrong side of the seal somewhere and is being squelched by the pokey bit on the lever :huh: Should be ok, unless the cause is a leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 a high pitch noise just means its working good :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted September 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 it sounds like a very tiny, but very wet fart - it comes from the lever - theres no fluid obviously leaking out though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Like Andyroo said, it could just be crap between the seal and piston? Try lubing the lever pivot too, if you can. If it's not leaking though, it shouldn't be too major a problem :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 (edited) it sounds like a very tiny, but very wet fart - theres no fluid obviously leaking out though thats a feckin ace description, made me chuckle :huh: yeah just give the piston a quick oil and it shoudl be fine, if the louise has a brass barrel (i cant remember if any of mine did) give that a light grease/oil whilst you at it, they tend to make noises on hopes anyway edit: oops just repeated mark Edited September 28, 2005 by pauloliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
