wally Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Ive run a number of Avid BB7 calipers with hope rotors, the Hope saw rotor and the Hope mono trial rotor both give off a silly squeaking noise when the brake is applied. I ran the Hope saw rotor for around 3 months hoping it would bed in and become quiet but it didn't. I am now having the same problem with the Hope mono trial rotor.So why do the hope rotors squeak with the BB7 caliper whereas the standard avid rotor is as good as gold?

N.Wood Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I'm rolling on a 4 year old Hope Gothic rotor up front and it makes no noise at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
