Also water on its own is quite good, for lightly dirty rotors. Soap and water works rather well too, if you agitate it. Rubbing alcohol seems not to be widely available here, surgical spirit is though and that’s just methanol and ethanol I think, works well on brakes.Įlectronic contact cleaner also works very well indeed, I think it’s the same as clutch cleaner though – smells like it. Supposedly it contains something for anti-rusting, maybe it’s ok for cars but it seems awful on my bikes – even the Muc Off bike specific one.Ĭlutch cleaner works brilliantly, but it doens’t last long.Īcetone aka nail polish remover is effective but damages some plastics, I’d be wary White spirit is itself somewhat oily, so whilst it shifts grease it doens’t clean to the required cleanliness for brakes.īrake cleaner has never worked for me.
Or shall i sod the sintered off and get some organic to stop the noise? Posted 9 years ago Shall i give the rotor a rub down with sand paper type stuff? soak it in rubbing alcohol? then to finish some muc off brake disc cleaner? Ive used some muc off brake disc cleaner on the pads and rotor and although it goes at the start of the ride its comes back squealing after a few sessions of braking Looking at my hope saw tooth rotor (which is about 3 years old?) its got a kind of rust type coating in places that i cant get off with meths, is the rotor buggered? pretty sure its now my rotor that causing the issue as my back brake using the same pads/rotor is still deadly silent throughout! I even put a new set of again superstar sintered in and its doing the same with the new pads! not sure why its suddenly started to do it given the silence on the same pads over 1.5 years Hmmmm im having this my self at the minute – about a week ago i suddenly out of no where started getting a squealing front brake, its been silent using the same pads (superstar sintered since ive owned them well over a year ago), all of a sudden its got a squeal on braking, not a major one and it will fade as you brake more, but then comes straight back next braking session
