Brakes pads work by transferring part of the friction material onto the rotor. It’s all part of the bedding in process. By sanding the rotor you just reduce the braking efficiency until they bed in again ( and start to resonate once more)

Господа, вы же в курсе, чем по сути является скрип колодок при контакте с тормозным диском? Причина появления этого звука одинакова как в автомобильных колодках, так и в велосипедных. Наберитесь терпения, сейчас будет очень нудное повествование... Контактные поверхности пары колодка-поршень это металл, причем на колодке этот металл имеет эмалевое покрытие, предотвращающее контакт с металлом поршня. При торможении колодка ложится на диск/ротор и при не плотном прилегании к нему начинает вибрировать, что в совокупности с износом(отсутствием) эмали на обратной стороне колодки приводит к микротрению в паре поршень-колодка. Слышимый скрип это результат трения металла о металл и лечится восстановлением термостойкой и износостойкой эмали либо нанесением термостйкой, консистентной смазки на обраную сторону колодки. Прокаливание и зачистка рабочей повехности колодок, как отчищение диска/ротора, делается для удаления загрязнений, что в свою очередь уменьшает дополнительный износ пары колодка-диск/ротор, что в свою очередь позволяет избежать износа диска/ротора, что позволяет сохранить пятно контакта колодки большим и стабильным, что позволяет избежать появление шумов при торможении.

This is OK if you are on a roadside and if there is no bike shop or your own shed in sight. But this is at best a temporary fix. If your brakes are squeaky, there is a 90% chance you have gotten oil on your brake components. That has to have come from somewhere. And that somewhere likely is a leak in the system. If that is not resolved, the squeaking will be back in a day or two. It has happened to me. Had the squealing brake. Replaced brake pads and rotor on a Friday. Kept everything religiously clean. Test drive with no issues. Put 20 miles on the bike Saturday. Still no issues. Left bike in garage on Sunday. Monday morning the squeal was back. Turns out the bleed screw was ever so slightly loose and and oil seeped out veeeery slowly (we are talking literally a few drops) and and all over the pads. That’s why everything was OK for a couple days. And yes, I had successfully bled the brake before and was overcautious with the bleed screw as I did not want to overtighten it and bust the threads.

Organic or metallic pads contaminated with grease are rarely able to be fixed. Even with acetone and sanding, the contaminant has likely soaked throughout the whole thing and the problem will reoccur after some more wear. Don’t expect this to work all the time. If you attempt, use tons of acetone and let them soak for a long time, multiple times.

@JurisKankalis Жыл бұрын
Yeah. Sure. A company that has been making brakes and most other bike components for decades with thousands of engineers - should learn from a guy on the internet. Actually the pin works fine. It's not doing much - it's not actually holding the pads against the braking force (as you'll notice, none of car brake pads have a hole for either a pin or a screw). The holding is done by caliper body. Some of earlier brakes - for instance, the well-famous Avid Juicy series (3, 5, 7, Carbon) - didn't have a pin or screw at all - relied solely on placement of the pad in the caliper body and the metal spring. One of my bikes has these since 2005 - still work like a treat, even with abusive lack of maintenance.

Step 1 take the brake pads out and sand them down a bit. Step 2 Spray Silca Brake and drivetran cleaner on them let them sit for 2 minutes. Step 3 spray solca Break and drivetrain cleaner on the diskbreak and let it sit for 2 minutes Step 4 hose the pads and the disc down. Step 5 let the disc dry by itself and put the pads back in the break. Step 6 once the disk is dry put wheel back in and to a qucick spin break once to get rit of all the resedue water Step 7 break again and there you go no more squeaky breaks And never wipe your disks down unless it a brand new cloth you never know what kind of oils are on those things

The solution for me was one I wasn't expecting at all. I performed a brake bleed and the squeal from my front rotor disappeared. I'd tried all the typical solutions before and had given up on the issue. However I performed the brake bleed and the noise went away. My theory is that air in the line was preventing my brake pads from making contact as hard as they should which is now no longer the case.

As someone who has worked as a bike mechanic for 8 years, I can say this does work but won’t last long. Most of the time the noise doesn’t go unless you clean and burn off the rotor as well and if it does go it will almost always come back after a few kms. Also try a blow torch bro, heatgun won’t get hot enough to burn off the oil residue. New pads are only 5-10 bucks so honestly just replace them if the customer is ok with that
