Been riding some new hayes hydraulic 6" disc brakes the past few months. After the breakin,
everything was fine. Good modulation in all conditions and a pleasure to have. Then I started
getting a nasty squeel at the back. It was so bad, that I started using the front almost without the
back (except high speed turns).
So I cleaned the calipers with isopropyl alcohol - that worked for 2 minutes. Readjusted the
calipers and mounts with proper bolt tension - that didn't work. Pulled the pads, steel wooled em
and isopropyl again (cheap stuff) and it worked for----3 minutes. So at least I was getting better.
Finally, pulled front and back pads and swapped em. That did it!! No more squeel. Any ideas on why
this happened? I don't have a warped rotor as far as he eye can tell...
