Finally Solving Squealing Discs... How to Fix Disc Brake Noise! Road Bike, MTB, Gravel

[@rupertcreek7101]

I'm liking this format of video gets straight to the point and short enough to watch without fast forwarding.

[@Bikespeeds]

That’s good feedback to hear thank you, we have little things we want to improve but think this could allow us to get back to weekly posting along with our normal videos

[@chrisfanning5842]

Straight to the point videos are always appreciated but there's still a lot of stuff in this video that's unrelated to brake squeal. You don't need to bleed the brakes, torque the rotors, adjust the levers, or grease the pistons. Those are different things that you'd cover as part of a full brake service but unrelated to the squealing. All you actually need to to do stop squealing is sand and clean the rotors, and replace pads if they're contaminated with oil. That's it - nothing else.

[@cathalmccarthy3578]

Straight to the point?!? Almost a full minute of squeaky brake noises at the start!

[@todddudgeon2320]

Thanks Lee. This video is timely for me. I had the fluid changed recently and my brakes are squealing like crazy. I’m excited to try your methods and fix my brakes. Best to you!

[@robm509]

I had the absolute worst brake squeal with a set of Shimano 105s on my road bike-so bad it could wake the dead. My local bike shop couldn't fix it (they can normally fix anything), and resurfacing the rotors and replacing the pads, as shown in this video, did not fix the issue for me. I was finally put out of my misery when someone broke into my garage and nicked my bike, so now it's someone else's problem!

This is what works for me: Make sure you clean the inside of the brake caliper as well, and that it isn't leaking brake oil onto the pads. Then, a good trick is to clean the pads with dish soap/washing up liquid, then sand them with 240 grit sandpaper (make sure to only rub the pad once on the sandpaper - meaning not rubbing it on an area of sandpaper you have already rubbed it on - this can recontaminate the pad). Finally, clean the pads with dish soap again before reinstalling. For the disc, rub it with brake cleaner first, then sand with 240 grit sandpaper, then brake cleaner again. Don't forget to bed in the brakes before riding again. If you experience repeated problems, ask a good bike mechanic to check if the disc and brake caliper are well aligned. If not, he/she can face the brake mounts to take this source of the problem out. If it still persists, try burning the discs to take out contamination. If none of this works, you might need to replace both discs and pads, even though it feels like such a waste.

[@kurt1391]

This works well, but I've found that a 3M metal finishing pad works even better and doesn't remove pad material. I cut them into small, single-use squares, and they're pennies per square. It takes about 15 seconds of scrubbing per pad. 95% of the time that is enough. However, if the pads are really fouled, I soak the pads in boiling water and dish washing liquid for five minutes, and it seems to work a little better . I've never had a pad so fouled that these techniques didn't work.

[@hughjanus7354]

Sandpaper is a bad idea because it sheds bits and these get stuck in the pads - you want to use the emery cloth. Other than that I would just emerge everything in brake cleaner, let it work its magic and then clean everything (rubbing pad against pad without emery cloth does wonders too).

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

Sandpaper is okay to use if you use a finer grit like 240 on the pads and 400 on the rotor​@@hughjanus7354

[@RS-il5zw]

you do need to clean the pads regularly - but the slightest bit of rain will bring back the squeal. Never needed to sand the rotor - only need to clean them. Have found that drying the pads after cleaning makes a difference - put mine in the airing cupboard for an hour or so. Basically, these pads are high maintenance as they are open to all the elements - if you are on the road then all the oils and rubbish on the road will find their way into them.

[@theunfinishedarticle]

Great video! I brought my GF’s new bike home from the shop yesterday - I took the front wheel off for ease of transport, and then had to spend 1 hour resetting and then recentering the brakes - the brakes had closed in making it impossible to put the tyre back on. ‘Twas a lot of work to sort, but satisfying - and a relief - to get everything back in order. Was interested in watch an absolute pro at work. Seems that disc brakes are a LOT more work than rims.

Good work solving the problem. I never managed to get get the squeal out of my rear disc brake and I thought it was due to oil from the chain splattering onto the rear disc brake. I did manage to fix the front disc brake squeal by installing a disc brake pad compound carbon ceramics. Carbon ceramics does rub up the surface of the disc brake anyway.

[@Bikespeeds]

Lol! 🧡⚙️

[@mikeg8630]

I never thought it was the rotor score. I was more suspicious of the road grime. And I also thought it's important to clean both the rotor and the pads at the same time, vs. try the pads then the rotor, when you end up contaminating the other. I've accepted that emery cloth on the pads is part of routine maintenance, and checking for a caliper leak on the backing plates. I've had success with baking parts in the oven like a pizza with good results, but it takes more effort, I just use it for extreme contamination. Rotating the wheel while pinching the rotor is what I've frequently done, but you've inspired my to try for perfection. Maybe it is like a record player, and those grooves are playing a tune? We'll see. Couldn't hurt. I like the idea.

[@briancooper562]

A little off the subject but I have a KTM motor cycle with disc brakes and I can get a good impression of a HGV with the rear brake. Its a matter of getting the natural frequency of the disc and the brake pressure just right so the whole assembly squeals loudly. Eventually the brake disc will crack due to induced natural frequency being hit regularly.

[@PhilDiasPJD]

Awesome video from an awesome channel. Love your videos. Never any negativity or click baity annoyingness. Even if that's a word 😂😂 One thing though, should the new pads and renewed discs not need bedding in again? Short or long videos, keep them coming. Love your channel guys. ❤ And that orange Trek. What a beautiful colour.

[@Bikespeeds]

Discs in general don’t need bedding in as much as most people thing but some cases can so it really depends on your personal results. Thanks for your kind support🧡⚙️

[@Avi8tor857]

I found that if you continue to have noise most likely it is a slow leak of brake fluid containing the pads, usually where the 2 half's of the caliper seal, which causes it to glaze the pad and disk. My go-to method instead of chemicals is heat. 20-30 seconds with a propane or butane torch with pads sitting on a brick will burn off any oils, too long and you will overheat the glue used to bond the pad. A light scuff on the rotors, and if the pad is glossy a light scuff of the pad with sand paper. Been doing it for years works every time, chemicals don't get the oils out of the pad and the noise comes back.

[@Antidepressiva1980]

I recently bought a new Giant Defy Ultegra throughout. I couldnt get either end to stop screeching, pads out disc brake cleaned, rotors and pads both wet and dried. Thought I'd solved it, NOT. Even after a thorough bedding in the front was screeching again today!. Checked pads today, both glazed again and front pads had noticable chunks missing! Now changed pads for Noah &Theo. I'm hoping that they now might bed in! If not going to dab a bit of copper grease on pad rears to avoid resonance!

[@Bikespeeds]

How did it go?🧡

[@Mr.Leeroy]

Using a random brake cleaner directly on calipers is a great way to dry out your seals prematurely to the point of cracking in the near future. Won't ruin them instantly as it evaporates rather quickly but when it will you won't even remember the cause. Brake cleaner formula is not standard and varies greatly (and is different compared to carburetor cleaner as well), so does rubber, plastic and paint compatibility. There usually is a warning right on the can, or at least a guidance to test it yourself before use on each material other than bare metal. Electrical contact cleaner is usually recommended instead.

[@petermcinnes6987]

I have four pot brakes on my bikes and have found its worth checking they are all moving as they should. One set in particular had one very active and one very sluggish piston.

Hi, how did you solve this one? The inner piston of my rear brake moves a bit less than the outer one, even after a bike mechanic tuneup

[@petermcinnes6987]

@claudiofiero8523 There's a Park tool video on how to clean brake pistons. Right at the end, after lubricating and exercising the pistons they mention balancing the caliper between active & slow pistons. Same goes for 4-pot ones, it's just super fiddly trying to get everything balanced. I nearly threw a set out in frustration.

[@richardkaz2336]

I've found that none of those causes are the reason for squealing brakes. The pads where the real problem. The image of the pads tell the story. They has a lip of raised pad that was not making contact with the disk. Those lips come together and stop the pad from making full pressure contact with the disk, much like when you lightly run run your finger around the rim of a wine glass. You set up a slight vibration that feeds into a resonance. On friends that have had squeaky brakes I've simply scraped off the lip and instantly the squealing brakes are no more. The same occurs if you fitt new pads. I have come across one instance where the dis didn't have the same torque on all six screws half were less that half the torque on 3 or 4 screws. This also allowed the disc to resonate, setting them to the same torque solved that problem.
