Title: Rear Brake Noise
Post by savagerider87 on 06/24/13 at 08:41:32

ive got this really annoying squealing noise whenever i use the rear brake really firmly. I have ridden about 3k miles, and I inspected the shoes right before i put it through state inspection at the beginning of the summer and they were like brand new. i have good stopping power and the thing is the freakin irritation to my ears. How can i cure this? the bike has been off the road for like 6 yrs before I bought it, Would that amount of time affect the shoes? thanks in advance :)

I have successfully turned squeakers into non squeakers by getting them hot with several hard stops.

Moisture seems to be the key, and driving it off does the job.
And I use the rears whenever I can to maintain it.

well, first you can do this: take a rough file and take them a little (very little) material with pads. so you get rid of dry upper layer pads (he is so disgusted squeaks)...

Yeah, brake dust will cause some brake noise.
