ogre Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 the noise is the pad moving/vibrating (you should know the physics) it's not bad thing + most pads do it specialy if your running tar on your rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo =) Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Dude if you don't want your brakes to squeak get a booster, It reduces frame flex witch is what causes your brakes to squeak, Which means the pads are not being forced properly onto the rim.Byron.

core Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 (edited) also make sure your pads are flat against your rim, I know on v brakes if the pads hit uneven on the rim this can cause squeakynessBut Maguras do tend to squeak Edited February 19, 2007 by core Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
