January 26, 200917 yr Get yourself some "Braking" pads from Rathmell's - the wavy disks all tend to squeal with galfer pads - make sure you clean the rotor before fitting,
January 27, 200917 yr put a small amount of copper grease on the back of the pads and make sure the pads are NOT the SINTERED type- if they are they are too hard a compound and will sqeal the best and only pads to use are GALFER (red ones) if you can't get these then use APICO/GOLDFREN everything else on the market is S***
January 27, 200917 yr Most brakes that have made this noise have been somewhat cured by bedding the pads in. Ride the bike for 500m with the brake lightly on, at the end of the 500m hose the system down. This will hopefully take off the glaze and bed the pads in to the disk.
January 27, 200917 yr I posted on the Braking pads a couple weeks ago. I like them. You see, it is not that the Galfers start to squeal just a little, it is that they become excessively annoying! Yes, done all that other stuff to no avail. I'm not soo sensitive that I would invest in the new disks because of it. Way too tight for that!
