the "zinc zinc zinc " sound its like the tyre finish makin 1 rotating , i didnt press brake or anything , i juz let it roll , its like once every complete rotation sort of thing , guess i will try the bearing first.

Chain i oil regularly veri smooth

use WD40 on the movable parts.. maybe rain washed dry the areas, that's why got that sound..

 

juz pray that it's not your brake disc warp..

[duckit]

Disc wrap is cause break pad finish didnt change and overheating causes the disc to wrap ? I cover my bike everyday and my brake caliper bots rusty , realli CMI , any idea how to remove all these rust , brasso or autoso will help to remove rust ?

haha till now i dunoe wats e problem.... y have the eeeee eeee sound.....

[duckit]

Sometimes its new brake pad , havent run in , sometimes its the brake pad rubber stuck onto the disc like bicycle u burn tarn onto the rim and will have the Eeek eeek sounds but iim still not very sure .. thou . The Zinc Zinc and the Eeeek Eeek , im goin to try changin the wheel bearing first . den the brake pads.

[accidentalMODernist]

so has anyone figured out the cause of the noise? cos my bike is facing the same problem,its coming from the front wheel area,every complete turn the wheel makes,the sound occurs.i checked the brake pads,still fine,dont tell me the disc brake warp

[skateboy]

when i brake, got the eeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeee sound. when wheel rotate, got the zinc zinc zine sound. all is coming from the brake disc n pad for my case.

[Sonicgear]

1st)if got sound during braking confirm brake pad finish and change be4 it damage ur disk brake....2nd)glide ur finger at ur disk brake is should be smooth should not have bumps or rough surface if yeah disk brake 'gone'.... if bumps not that bad if rough surface jialat... can repair by cutting layer to remove bumps and rough surface..... braking power will decrease

 

Either 1

 

new brake pad also make shitty eee sound need to sand off the edges abit then no sound... sometimes too dirty the brake also make sound go and bleed and blow ur brake

[thcheong]

either u need to send off the top and bottom edges of the brake pads if its new or could be ur caliper piston jam..if caliper piston jam, u need to service ur caliper and change the 'o' ring inside

[eddie23]

most prob is the brake pad that rub on the disc .maybe u can jack up your bike to check, try to move your rim left and right see if the rim shake ,if the rim shake that means your bearing is spoil.this is wat i see from bikeshop how they check if the bearing is spoil,

[BioMoDiFIed]

the eeeee eeee eeee sound of the brake mite be due to the glazing of the brakepad...veri common in disc brake systems...tis is wen the brake pad got tis lyk shiny layer at the braking surface...to remedy,juz take out ur pad and sand the braking suface untill u cannot see shiny...den blow the pad to make sure no brake dust at the brake pad...den put it back in caliper...and aft tat shud not have the eeee eeeee eeee sound...

[hongwei09]

i jus went to racewerkz to check why my front got eeee eeee sound...

its the brake disc thats become crooked alrdy..

but still can brake den why not carry on?

den my mechanic use the air spray

the amt of disc is really alot

Hi all. my right side front brake is giving out noisy scratching sound whenever i ride.

 

This is a new 1 week old Spec 3 and the noise is getting louder. Its irritating.

 

Went back to shop but they said its normal due to brake dust. But howcome only affect right side of the brake.

 

Another ques is my rear brake disc is damn hot. cannot touch for more than 4seconds after stopping. Now, the shop says its normal too.

 

Pls help to clarify. Thanks a lot

[dintigger]

scratching sound .. then ask the mech to clean the pads lah .. if too loud then ask the place u buy the bike from to cure it.

 

if brake disc is hot because u brake too much loh .. .. friction will generate heat so to avoid the rotors to heat up then dont use the brakes sure cold one ..

[FZ06]

Bro mdradhi...as ur bike is new its quite normal for the new pads to create a bit of sound when braking coz the pads have not worn evenly but of course the sound shouldnt be too loud then it means somethings not rite with either ur brake pads or brake disc... btw for rear brake disc to be damn hot after u ride,i think its normal...no worries..

[iris147]

ive been using my spec3 for more then 1yr..i agree that the front brakes do make some funny sound cos it happen to me also n the are other spec3 riders who have complain abt this matter..and actualy the sound is still there (sometimes) after more then a year riding.. not sure y though..

 

abt your rear brakes, i dun touch it after riding so no comments.. but just an advise, to use more of your front brakes rather than your rear..if u are used to braking using your rear, u will see yourself kissing the road wen u suddenly e-brake during wet weather.. n there are reasons y theres 2 sets of front brake.

 

my 2 cents..

erm, if not wrong, juz after u ride a bike, u touch both e front or rear u oso cant tahan e heat produce by it. coz u will do braking when riding. n frm wad i know, e fastest time e brake dices will not b so hot is bout 1min +. n how u know its e right side, n not e left or both? mine hab tat stoopid sound frm e rear, i confirm by not pressing e rear lever, urs?

din, did clean it before but then the sound come again and now the shop says nothing can be done. claimed its normal. Nwe, i've tried riding for 40km without using rear brake. Its indeed cool. Thanks Din.

FZ06, thanks for the info. But shop die die say its normal even after explaning that its getting louder.

even when u did not apply the brake? that's a good advise bro. Remind me of my RXZ incident last year. thanks

Mine was different. Front was warm but the right side was cooler. the sound will be there throughtout the ride. dun need to apply brake. once apply, there will b a screeching sound as well.

 

 

Lastly, thanks all for the help...clear some of my doubt

[skateboy]

we can actually chamfer the brake pads by grinding. the sound will goes off but then after some time, the sound will come back again. its the brake dust that is making the sound. some older bike have rotors slightly warped will oso experience this sound.

Thanks skateboy. in that case i leave with no choice. change to a better pad once it wear off. as for now, have to live with it.

[mudman]

bro, i experiencedthe same thing too, scratchin sound comin frm front discs although the brake pads is still thik n nt in line for replacement yet....but because i can't ahan this sound animore i changed mine n it's peace at last....mine was stock brake pads....takes forever to wear out....

the new brake pads brakes better n also smoother than the stock ones bro.....

 

my 2 cents

[uberstore]

Though i have not used many brand of brake pad, but stock brake pad do not produce as much heat as compared to aftermarket ones. U can do a test if u like.

Lesser heat produce oso would have lesser chance for brake disc to warp.
