Squeeky Brakes

(1/1)

mileyboy:
My brakes squeek like a proper piggy! I've got new black tuffs and vans cool stops-they used to just hiss and stop bably-now they scream-do I need tuff pads? Is there anything else I can do? :knuppel2:

stfc:
dont brake!!

pickle:
you need to 'toe in' the pads.....ie: if you have the new style tuff pads or use a new style pad, they have little dome shaped washers that allow you to adjust the pads in the brake caliper.  what you need to do is adjust the pads so the front edge hits the rim of the wheel first......should stop the pig sounds  :daumenhoch:

mileyboy:
cool! many thanks
