Fly brakes

<< < (2/4) > >>

SaMAlex:
Hey, Ian. Fire up that link to your blog with my PTFE tape trick. Im not totally sure how well it works, and the tape gets bunched up quite quickly, but when brakes are making loads of noise, anything is worth a go.

Righto i gave it a go...

I loosened off the pads, pulled the brake on with a ten pence piece under the back edge of the pads and tightened em back up.

Just been round the block on the bike, still a slight squeak but nowhere near the racket i was used to...

Cheers for the tip...  :daumenhoch:

Thats quality ^^^

My brake arms are quite loose on the frame.... and its a fly frame!!!

You'd think they're own brakes would fit!

SaMAlex:
I really like fly stuff, and I think they do a great job of pushing BMX design. But I do think they have problems making parts. It seems like most fly brakes are loose on the posts, hence the noise. Ive also heard things about some of their frames not being right. Shame really. I wonder how much they are in control of their manufacturing.
