|   Howling Hope Enuro 4's - how can I make them quiet? | DT
Sep 18, 2001 5:03 PM | | I've got a set of the Enduro 4's on my Turner RFX (185mm & 165mm rotors). On the first ride they were nice and quiet, but after a few rides once everything started breaking in, they started to scream and howl - even while I was riding along not appling the brakes. I've owned a few sets of hayes and a set of shimano XT's, and I am very comfortable w/ all service aspects, but I can't make these things quiet for more than a few minutes. I've cleand the rotors and the pads with rubbing alcohol which always worked for the hayes and shimano's - no luck w/ the Hopes. Has anyone used any of the "disc brake quiet" you can get at auto parts stores? Do i need to sand the pads like you sometimes have to do w/ the XT's? I read here that Hope came out with a different pad compound for the Mini's - any such thing for the Enduro 4's? I love how they stop and the modulation is awesome, but I hate the constant noise. Thanks for any advice! |
| Just get some EBC pads | Brian HCM1

Sep 19, 2001 7:40 AM | | I got some EBC gold pads for my Enduro's and they work great...more power, long lasting, and no squeal at all! |
| EBC Golds for me, too | andy f.

Sep 21, 2001 6:51 AM | | My buddy had the same problem but he found the solution and you may not like it, he used an extra rotor (magura) he had and all was quite with any pads, seems the magura rotor is thicker and heavier thus resonates at a different frequency. |
