Brake squeel

Post by Highflyer » Tue Apr 19, 2016 3:42 pm

Now the weather is getting better I have been venturing out but seem to have developed a brake  squeel when coming up to junctions roundabouts etc, (on the front) pads and discs are fine and I have noticed this on a few youtube vids is this an Atom trait ? she will still be on the original factory fitted pads having had an easy life and only covered 3600 miles from New, any suggestions would be helpful thanks

Are they Alcons? If so, "they all do that sir". Race brakes are designed to be used hard, most of them squeak under "light" use, mine included  :)

The best technique is not to brake. ;D
