|   Hope mini disc squeel | Paul J
Mar 11, 2002 9:35 AM | | I've had them for 1 week now with 3 rides on em. I've tried using iso-alcohol on the pads and rotors and even ran the rotors in the dishwasher. They still squeal with "light" pressure. Under full pressure it goes away "sort of". It's a deafning sound that would make a dog cry. I did not build this bike, but I was told by my mechanic that there was no dot fluid spilt on the pads or the rotors. should I try sanding the rotors down with some fine grit sandpaper? All helpfull feedback welcomed. |

Mar 11, 2002 8:15 PM | | I read in one of the mags thata the first couple of batches of mini's pads were made of some crappy material that would squeal. It also said that all you should have to do is contact Hope and they'll send you new pads |

Mar 12, 2002 12:30 AM | | Don't waste your time trying to get the stock pads NOT to squeal. I have tried cleaning the whole shebang with isopropyl alcohol, deglazing the pads with a fine grit sandpaper, chamfering the leading edge of the pad, covering in mud and riding...... etc. etc. etc.
I just live with the noise now but will replace the pads when they have worn out with some EBC's. I know that people have had some success switching to EBC golds on minis.
