Maladie Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 How come you want to stop the squeeking mate? Most people are eager for more squeek But I think giving your rim a grind, just even a light one will quieten it down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all squeek like mad, they sound lush. Try using a brake booster, or send me the koxx yellows and I'll send you some top quality maggy blacks. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan GU Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Well... If you want GOOD brakes you will have to put up with the squeeking. If not you will have gay pads that hardly work and don't make any noise.Or you can spend loads of money and go REAR DISC (L) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont worry about it just worry when they dont squeek as your brakes probably wont be working as well. Hope this explains it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 not much help for you, but Vee brakes are pretty quiet and more powerful than maggies too....might be an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel C Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I heared that if you put oil on your rim it stops them squeeking, hope this helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borat Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 USE AN ONZA CHROME RIM WITH MAGURA BLACKS IF IT ANNOYS YOU THAT MUCH!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 from what i have read the squeak is a vibration if sorts in the caliper. when i got my monty a few years ago it squeaked very badly, especially with tar (i kinda miss the massive squealing). over the years the squeak has lessened, i think this has to do with the calipers getting dirty and not having the room to vibrate as much. to stop is is very hard, if not impossible. i dont think a grind will help since my rims have an old grind on them and will squeal (with out tar) and definably do not tar them if you dont want every one in the neighbor hood to know your riding. probably the less amount of squeal will be from untouched rims. i have read that the aluminum backed maggie pads reduce the squeak, i dont know if this is true though.

SkiLLz Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 That squeak used to irriate me alot aswell when I first started but you learn to love it and now the way I see it is, if there's no squeak it's not working! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo-Scott Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) Only way that you will get rid of all noise is with a disk.A booster will decrease the noise of the brake quite a bit. But in most cases it will still make some noise. A booster also increase's the amount of hold a break will give you which is also a plus side to them. Unfortunitly though, It will stop your brake from biting as much though. Last time i ran a booster, It killed the bite so badly that I had to take it off to get my brake to work at a level that I was happy with.
