the rear rim brakes on my fx1 are sounding like rubber being compressed or some sort of squeaky noise
visibly i cant see them touching the tyre or something else
i cant rly see a wear line but i feel they will be good for some time in the future
what could be the problem and do i need to replace or realign them

if i need to replace which ones do i buy

Hi Hashir,

It sounds like your rear rim brakes are making a squeaking or compressing rubber sound. There could be a few reasons for this, such as dirty or worn brake pads, misaligned brake pads, or loose brake components.Before replacing anything, try cleaning your brake pads and rims with rubbing alcohol or a degreaser to remove any dirt or debris.

If that doesn't work, you may need to realign your brake pads or tighten any loose components.If you do need to replace your brake pads, you'll want to make sure you get the right ones for your bike. Check your bike's manual or the manufacturer's website to find out which brake pads are compatible with your bike's make and model. You can also take your bike to a local bike shop and they can help you find the right brake pads and install them for you if needed.
 
ill align them tmrw as my tyre is skidding for emergency brake
they r worn out but will last if i just align them i guess
thanks
