Brake Pads That Make The Most Noise!

Same with me most bikes do it when they are new the funny thing is is that the neighbours have complained and it sounds like a train. It cracks me up!

I always reckon it sounds like a flock of pissed off and exceedingly vocal geese, especially if there's a load of you.

Unless you've got Monty milk pads in which case it sounds like somebody rubbing two massive bits of polystyrene together.

And IMO I think the single most deciding factor on how noisy your brakes are is the state of the rim (how much cack is on it).

Bolt tightness and booster choice/setup comes in a close second.

I've just built up a new bike and put some of my blue pads on with a fresh grind..... I can't remember my brake being this loud before. Just lightly dragging the brake it sounds like a pack of seals yelping!

A loud brake inspires confidence but annoys your neighbours!
