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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
@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.
@Avi8tor857
27 күн бұрын
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.

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.

We often get calls from people that have had brakes in shops and the squealing comes back relatively quickly. The biggest issue with modern brakes tends to be earther they are leaking or the bike is not being maintained correctly. Modern brakes are super light and do tend to pick up damage. Things like improper cleaning or getting carried away with oils are also common culprit for squealing brakes. Incidentally Copper grease is not the best idea and I know a few rands that will tell you absolutely do not use it. They will also tell you not to use most commensal brake cleaners as they can contain chemicals knows to give issues.

I find that you just never contaminate your brake pads with cleaners. I don't do this even on my motorcycles, on my mountain bikes I pull the pads out and wash them out with acetone. When you do this do not scrub or clean your rotors, you do not want to remove the beded in in brake pad material, this is the same on motorcycles. Obviously in this video somebody did not keep an eye on their brakes. I have found that sometimes when a brake pad gets contaminated there's no fixing it and you just got to replace them. Mountain bike brakes are way harder to maintain than motorcycle and they will always make more noise. This is the biggest maintenance issue on mountain bikes next would be keeping the chain and your gears clean.

Don't use anti seize or grease on your pads or piston the only appropriate way to lubricate the pistons is with the appropriate brake fluid for your braking system (DOT, mineral oil) a very light coat on the pistons applied carefully on the tip of a cotton swab. If you put anti seize or grease on your pads it will get on the piston and form a paste with debris that will scratch the pistons and eventually get inside the brake system. Not even speaking about getting your braking surfaces contaminated which is a very certain thing to happen in hot weather or constant use...

Great video! Weird question: if a bike gets these scoremarks on the disc and lets say its a fairly new bike, will the repair be covered by warranty if i get it repaired at the bikeshop i bought it at? or is it a "usual" wear on the disc?

I really would not use brake cleaner without gloves and if you do it regularly, without ventilation. Not sure if stuff used with bikes is a bad as the ones with cars, but...

@@Bikespeeds can it be used on pads too or is it just for the rotors?

I wish mine only squealed when braking, that's not when it ever happens. It happens when I'm slowly wheeling it backwards into my house, it sounds like a sodding freight train. Something's rubbing going backwards but not forwards.

@@Bikespeeds Whats even funnier is, it squeaked a bit "whi whi whi whi" while riding, so Im pulled the rear brake a few times and it stopped. THREE YEARS later I went on the bike and it was "whi whi whi whi" again. If I pull the rear brake a few times I can temporarily stop it. This isn't making the noise when I am braking, it's when I'm not braking, because I like having the bite on the pads there as soon as I pull the brakes, so the pads are always really close, but come on, become parallel at _some_ point! I just need to attack the rear caliper with brake degreaser but never get round to buying it and doing it. Too scared of getting it in my hub bearings 😂

Thank you for the video. Could it be the brake rotor alone that would cause squeaks? I have changed my brake pads and clean the rotor with brake cleaner and I still get squeaking mostly when I pulled the brake levers hard
