[QUOTE="Cubist, post: 3717222, member: 3745"]Isopropyl Alcohol. You can get it off eBay in pump spray bottles. Better for the environment and a lot cheaper than proprietary brake cleaners. It also has the added advantage of being 99.9% alcohol. Some store bought cleaners have additives which aren't good for bike brakes. I know someone who bought some motorcycle based stuff which promised to reduce brake squeal. It did eliminate the squeal, along with about 85% of the braking efficiency.
I use it to clean out the calipers when I'm changing pads, and to clean the rotors when I've washed the bike with any form of detergent. It's also a very good workshop degreaser.[/QUOTE]
Bought some of this this week, hopefully it will stop my squealling brakes.
