Ladd Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Clean it off with a clean rag then get lighter fluid and wipe it round the rim until you see no dirt coming off the rim... the file a little of the pads so they clean..then let the brake pads wear back in again....nice tip from mrkoxx worked for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik Y Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I think dish soap could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) Paint thinners and a rag then you do what mod mike said. Makes your brake louder for a bit too.Edit: DON'T use white spirit as it leaves a powdery residue making the brake worse.

Muc-off works the best. mabye use the bike wash & give ur bike a spring clean, then ur bike will b doing this . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
