brake squeel

Post by **lhd** » 12 Feb 2008, 19:45

Since the after Bashtie last year my brakes have started squeeling,now they work fine but as soon as they get used a bit they start squeeling.
As soon as they cool back down they are fine.
Do you think I may have glazed the pads whilst slowing down from all them hills in cornwall.
I did notice this started at the end of the after bashtie,and towards the end of the trip the brakes when sqeeling seemed to be lacking.
many thanks.

Probs just build up of dust, strip clean and a litlle spread of copper slip to metal on metal bits should sort it !

Also a small hacksaw cut across the pads can cut down squeal, especially if pads are glazed. The above advice is your best first attempt at a cure though!
