Greetings,

I've noticed that my breaks have been squeaking lately. I just had them replaced so they're not worn down or anything. Unfortunately, the bike has been rained on quite a bit lately -- do you guys think that might be the problem? I'm just wondering if its dangerous. Thanks!

 

Yea that could be the problem. How many miles do you have on the brakes? could be loose brake dust on the clean rotors also.

 

I just got them replaced like this weekend so there couldn't be more than 10 miles on them.

 

They could have a little grease on them from when they were installed. Mine squeak a little when it gets rained on.

 

every now and then mine do the same. its mostly when I apply the brakes very lightly and im just about to a full stop. My pads were replaced about almost 1k miles ago.

 

Get some 400 grit sandpaper and lightly sand the rotors and then spray then clean with Brake Parts Cleaner. Also make sure the brake pad retainers are installed correctly. Sometimes the little spring clips aren't installed correctly and the pads vibrate causing the squealing.

 

Thanks!
