Title: Weird noise this morning... Post by skatnbnc on 06/02/08 at 06:53:46 Its damp here and it rained last night. So I got the the first light on Suzi this morning and squeezed the brakes only to hear a really weird loud almost grinding noise and feel both brakes vibrate ~ WTH! I immediatly checked everything, and found nothing. Could the high humidity have caused my front brake to slip and squeal? |

Title: Re: Weird noise this morning... Post by skatnbnc on 06/02/08 at 08:40:15 I ride 6 days a week - my rotors are so shiny you can see your face in them. Brakes replaced with new in August 07. See the wear on the original stock pads. http://w2.bikepics.com/pics/2007/08/25/bikepics-1003681-800.jpg |

Nothing? No wheels? No seat? What you may have heard was your jeans scraping the asphalt as you scooched along. Are you sure you didn't leave the bike home? |
