Mountain Biking: Squealing Brakes
Hayes Trail disc brakes squealing like a pig? Try bonding the pads on with RTV High Temp silicon gasket maker. This is available at most auto parts stores. Just put a thin coat of the RTV on the back of the pads install and squeeze the levers for 24 hours. Elastic cords or thick rubber bands will hold the levers squeezing the pads. You want the pad bonded to the pistons not the housing. Ride on...

DORK! Also, I don't think you've ever stuck a pig. You're not only a copycat, but a poser.
Hee hee hee...this is cool. Does someone have a little more time on his hands than he knows what to do with?
*giggle*
Good to know, for next time I'm screaming down a gnarly singletrack with no end in sight except the route over the handlebars straight into hell.... uh, yeah. That ain't me. I really love your mascot though. How about more about him??? :0D
Well, at least you're picking up fur. That's a good thing. Can you teach O? He doesn't know that trick.
I have no clue what you're talking about, but happy sabbatical :)
TOO FUNNY!!!
If you ever need to kill time, bike on over to Alameda and we've got tons of stuff at our place that need de-squeaking and fixing. :o)ek.
I have a question for you!
So I have a hybrid bike and something is "off" with the back breaks. No matter how I fuss with them they seem to constantly be brushing against the tire (like they are a tiny bit engaged). It makes an annoying shush shush noise.
How do I fix it?
