sun doublewide, brakes, and squeek
hey guys, i've got this noisey setup. i've read before that some have removed the paint on thier sidewalls to remedy the "squeek" problem. did you sand them down to bare metal by hand (and sandpaper) or did you just rough up the surface? all info and suggestions always appreciated. thanks in advance. ed -- greyhairedguy - I need to ride. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ greyhairedguy's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3475 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/26732 |

sun doublewide, brakes, and squeek
i've got this noisey setup. You might want to try to toe in the brakes it worked for me. I drove Jagur crazy one squeeky ride he suggested that I adjust my brakes so that the front of the pads point in. -- muddycycle - Nonchalance "What can possiby mystify a madman?"

I used one of those wire brush thingies that go on a power drill. Be careful because it takes the paint off fast and will eat into th metal quickly. A minor bit of abrasion on the metal doesn't seem to hurt. I think I tried sandpaper without any luck. Took too long.

They are listed as disc only, they have no machined nor ground surfaces for rim brakes. -- Max_Dingemans - Combat Wombat "And when the sky darkens and the prospect is war Who's given the gun and then pushed to the fore And expected to die for the land of our birth Though we've never owned one lousy handful of earth" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Max_Dingemans's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1981 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/26732 |
