Odd Socks Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hi, Are the brakes working OK, plenty of bite and hold? If so don't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Don't be sad about losing noise, so long as they still hold and bite, that's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 What rim have you got? If you sand your pads, they lose their sound, but I don't know why... When I sand my pads because I want them to be straight parallel with the rim, I always leave them in the freezer for 20 minutes afterwards. They work ace after that! You might have ground your rim too often and as a consequence you have killed your grind... Who did you buy these pads from? Make sure they are set perfectly straight to your rim and they should be back on track with loud locking noise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
315r Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) This is quite strange, I never lose the sound of my coust after 2 years of use and two pairs of pads. Are your pads dirty or your rim with some dust? Try to clean it, specially rims, with alcohol. What rim have you got? If you sand your pads, they lose their sound, but I don't know why...

Maybe because i use a litle line of tar. Edited June 21, 2010 by 315r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
