Mockett Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 as the disk goes round in the pads its making a squicking (i cant spell) sound... can any one help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 If its an intermittent ting/woosh sort of noise then sounds like the rotor is warped and its just catching the pads, if its squealing when you apply the brake then its more than likely contaminated pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dd Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) Or mono trials brake squicks when you brake, which is normal, means tha brake is working fine, some times the rotor catches the corner of a brake pad and squicks when wheel spins slownly ( maybe it is not set up perfectly or rotor is a bit bent), had this on my brake - it is completely normal. Unless what forteh said it might be contaminated, but that is when you dont have enough braking power. Which is it?Also, you didn't oil your disc brake like silly people do?

forteh Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I should have clarified, the brakes make a slight hiss/squeal when theyre working properly, if its more of a honk and performance is lacking then its probably contaminiation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottTrials Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I had the same on my mono trials last week. Just take the disc and pads of the bike and get some wire wool and just rub the pads ike mad and the disc will probaly need a clean just do the same as with the pads. Mine now works perfectly fine.Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockett Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) it makes the squeeking noise even when the brake isnt pressedif that helps Edited July 6, 2009 by Mockett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 it makes the squeeking noise even when the brake isnt pressedif that helpsPads will be rubbing on the disc then, try looking straight down the rotor as you spin it to see if it's warped. If it is use an adjustable spanner to straighten it up.Take your pads out and re face them then re center the caliper and try again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 sounds like a bent rotor to me probably scuffing the pads and/or caliper body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Koxx hydroxx 2 Jack * Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 the rotor may not be buckled , just really out of line , put some shims on the caliper and that may help . to know if you need to do this just look down the middle of the caliper and see if its more to one side .jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
