squeaking happen to mine after a bike wash or in the rain.

i ask bike shop, they say it is because either ur brake pad finish or pad has harden(other give opinion plz) or brake drum clogged with brake dirt(my thinking)

Yup, it just the rusty portion of the brake drum. It will go away after a while of riding.

My previous pad harden so badly that some patches were almost chrome and the rest is rust...

My rust didnt go away...

I monitor that rear pads only last around 10,000km under my usage...(i use rear brake alot in traffic heavy area)

I also use rear brake more than the front most of the time bcoz my front brake pads buay jiat, esp during raining.

it could be its the joints or bolts(moving parts) that need lubrication.... i use wd40 to spray occasionally.... side stand and stuff as well...

I only scared front brake lock... my first accident involved front brake lock on white-painted strip(stock tires).

Using Hel line and battlax now but still scared.(first accident trauma)

 

ur front dont eat? try changing brake fluid?

 

BTW, for those who change front brake pad b4, what colour is urs?

My blue colour... a Mac colleague say only red is original...

i thought all pad suppose to be metal colours only?

front dont eat only on rainy days, dry is ok. Think its bcoz the pads are soaked with water tats y becomes spongy...

 

My pads is black from dont know wat colour....

[FaizalJoy]

so do i DIY myself with leftover engine oil/wd40 or go shop?

for my rear brake pad?

[squarebox]

apply only to the joints/moving parts/levers...

 

if u apply on the brakes pads, ur brake will slide/not work = you crash

[squarebox]

My mech use left over engine oil to lube all these parts.

 

I always keep the left over engine oil... now 800ml liao...

stupid me:slapforehead:

Ya man! DO NOT put oil into your brake pads or drum!!!!

Engine oil once exposed to air will deteriorate over time (i think it's 6 months). By the time it deteriorate, put in engine also quite useless liao.

I dont plan to put into my engine...

I just kept it as emergency lube.(joint, hinges @ home, etc etc...)

wat u shld do is... first... meet up with squarebox, borrow wd40 and spray on e MOVING JOINTS... and see if it still squeaks.... if it doesnt, problem solved. (CAREFUL DONT LET IT DRIP on ur TIRES)

 

if it does den go to the mech to change ur pads.... (but guys, does drum brake squeek like e brake disc when worn?? i dont really noe abt drum brakes tbh...)

Just some facts to share nia lah...

[katdawg]

me - 20+ years old (21st on November), no p plate, 1 year exp alr.

 

where to get a cheap insurance cause now NTUC still charge me $6XX

 

recommended by 1 of my friends is Allianze. (reasonable)

if im not wrong, allianz covers only 21+, better call them before going down to avoid wasted trip. went down that time only to realize they dont do for under 21. somemore the place damn ulu, some industrial park.

 

i think NTUC is the most ex, they quoted me nearly 1K for 20 yr old, pplate, no exp, third party. 1K for wave, ouch!

 

you that time 21 alr. i haven't 21. still can ah?

AXA can for under 21. and cheaper

[Sprinta03]

Any one tried the Michelin sporty tires before??

 

Any comments:rolleyes:
