[@stevenfreeman7798]

Hi guys and girls and of course you Patrick!. There is a far easier way to stop disc squeal and you don't have to even take the pads out!. First a good squirt of dish washer liquid into the calipers and then blast it out with a hose pipe it will foam up like he'll so rinse until clear. Then spray the discs both sides with motorcycl muc off and leave for at least 5 mins and blast off with the hose again. Next thing to do is get some thick paper kitchen towel and clean the discs both sides do this quite firmly you will be shocked how much dirt/oil comes off!. Now either leave the bike in the sun to dry the calipers for a short while or use a hair dryer job done quickly and cheaply!!. Ps use good dishwasher liquid like fairy liquid not the cheap shit give it a go you have nothing to loose and has always worked for me.

[@willbranson3216]

Probably works as you say....for 10 minutes.

[@DiGiTaLdAzEDM]

"Because I am a lazy scumbag"...ha ha🤣🤣. That had me laughing!!

[@PatrickLino]

[@galenkehler]

Did you notice a visual difference once the compound was removed, like that black residue that develops over time being removed?

[@PatrickLino]

Good question! I have to check haha

[@DaveCM]

I've never had them squeak quite that bad. That was horrible! Usually just whipping them down with alcohol or acetone takes care of it. Reading the reviews, it seems very popular with the e-bike crowd for obvious reasons. One reviewer had to describe his Pinarello F10 with Red AXS as if that makes any difference at all. LOL!

[@PatrickLino]

I must have did something terribly wrong when I first installed these brakes. None of my other disc bikes squeal like this haha

[@DaveCM]

@@PatrickLino or you got something really bad on them when riding. Who knows. All better now though. I just ordered me some to have on hand just in case. Thanks for the tip. I didn't know about it.

@@DaveCM a blob of grease from a truck, axle or kingpin, dropped on the ground and then flicked up on the rotor :) Such a happenstance is not out of the realm of possibility, or any number of other road contaminants.

[@PatrickLino]

Thanks for the support as always Ian!

[@1sigmabikes]

How fine is the grit on that stuff? I wonder if you would get similar results with a grinding compound or something. Just wondering if this is actually formulated for bikes, or if it is a case of "hey, lets slap the word 'bike' on it and charge more!"

[@PatrickLino]

Haha the “made for bikes” increases the price! The grit is course enough to cut, but not polish. I think as long as the compound itself is completely oil free it may work

[@GojoRamsay888]

Is it ok to sprat water on brakes? I already sand both of my brakes and applied disc brake cleaners, the squeaking is gone for like 20mins but then they're back again.

[@PatrickLino]

@@GojoRamsay888 sounds like (no pun) the contamination is deeply bedded into the pads beyond repair.

[@GojoRamsay888]

@PatrickLino thanks bro i will buy new brake pads. When i sand my pads both of them got like a very very small crater.

[@vasipro]

I'm a rim brake guy BUT totally understand the reason for this technology: carbon fibre rims + rains + mountains = certain death. You need disc brake for that. BUT Disc brakes are dangerous for light bikes. Rim brakes and aluminium rims are better. Most people use aluminium rims. I am Glovo cyclist. Riding 20.000kms per year. I use aluminium rims.

[@arnaudseynaeve9266]

The more disc brake videos I watch, the happier I am with my rim brakes. In addition I think that the Ventoux wheels (with their textured surface) have an above average rim brake.

[@PatrickLino]

Yup the rim brake version of the Ventoux have great braking performance (I'm told).

Copperslip costs pennies from motor factors and applied to the back of the pads does same job. Or you could just decontaminate the pads and discs with emery paper.

[@twistoffat]

Why doent you just use fine sand paper on the discs and pads?

[@twistoffat]

@@PatrickLino If you are trying to save money, whats the price difference between the paste and a shoot of 300 sandpaper. Everyone has brake cleaner at home. Paste is messy albeit simple

[@Leo-gt1bx]

Less profitable 😂

[@nitishnaik2355]

Sir my gear cycle brakes are making too much noise when pressed what is the reason

[@NeptuneSega]

In the beginning, I can see your brakes are rubbing really bad, making you also cycle harder. It should only squeak when you are braking. If it squeaks while not breaking, you've got to do some maintenance to do (realignment of the rotor)

[@PatrickLino]

Video is like 3 years old now

[@RS-il5zw]

You only need to clean the pads and spray the rotor with alcohol. You have to clean the pads properly - if there is a shine/glaze on the pads, then use sanding material to remove this. It may take a few sprays of the pads to remove any absorbed oil/gunge, and some pads can be so soiled that they need replacing. Moral of the story is that disc brake pads can be high maintenance and may need cleaning after every ride. You don't need to use the advertised stuff on the pads

[@anfhunt2009]

Or just remove the pads sand then, wipe the disc refit and done. Takes less then 5 min !!!!!

[@PatrickLino]

My method is cooler.

[@kerileakr]

It's sold out everywhere, is there an alternative?

[@grogangreen]

Yes. Remove pads Scrub with sponge pad and hot soapy water Rinse Warm pads in a pan till dry Replace pads Same procedure for rotors Spend 5 minutes bedding in. Zero cost 😊

[@garethrobinson2275]

​@Leo-gt1bx Turtle wax is the company name. Their rubbing compound isn't a wax, it's like T-cut for getting scratches out of the clear coat on car paint.

[@DanTuber]

If they squeal that bad then usually the pads need replacing or the disc is not aligned properly. I don't think that paste does anything that a good clean with iso would do. That front rotor looked dirty to begin with. 4 years use of disc brakes and i've never had a squeal that bad.

[@PatrickLino]

Thanks Dan!

[@deanmccormick9384]

I got a little oil on my brand new rotors and pads and they squeaked just like this. Tried cleaning with ISO and sanding down the pads three times, it helped a tiny bit but they still made way too much noise for my liking. I purchased this paste and it works! Took ten minutes and the noise is gone.

[@Frombie_01]

I started racing road in 1973 when I was 12 years old, and track about a year later. Nothing special, only club level. However, I was in A grade for a number of years. There is nothing wrong with rim brakes at all. They will still send you head first over the bars if you jump on them too hard. The secret is to wind your rosary beads around your stem and bars. This not only improves the braking quality of rim brakes and assists in aerodynamics, but will also prevent the aforementioned scenario of going head first over your bars whilst engaging your front brakes. In all honesty, I was more offended to see you riding a carbon bike. That is nothing short of heresy. On a side note; I almost wet myself laughing when you said "Man, I look dark in this video." I shan't be the one who states the obvious. More power to your legs and happy cycling. Edit:- I liked and subscribed.
