My ebike has hydraulic rim brakes and have been trouble free .My first bike had disk on the front and rim on the back I was always having to adjust the disk brake ,my friends all have disk brakes on there's and always trying to adjust there's ,reading up on ebikes disk brakes seem to be popular...

havn't used my trek mountain bike for a while got it out yesterday and found that the rear brake was locked on and the level was solid. Had to open bleed nipple on lever to release some fluid for it to release. Seems like the fluid had expanded while sitting

Looking at replacing the pads on our Pino. The bolt holding the pads in place has a circlip on the end that looks like these. As they are small enough to lose quit easily, I thought I might get a few spares. Anyone any idea where I might get them and is there a 'proper' name for them?

My front brake pads wore down to the metal so bought some new ones. The official ones for SRAM Apex are £25, too expensive. I came across some Noah & Theo pads for a much cheaper price so bought them. A friend advised me to buy them as they worked fine on his though I don't know what brand and...

I built my mountain bike in 2006 with Deore hydraulic disk brakes and they worked great The bike was in fairly regular use for a number of years until about 2011 when, for various reasons I stopped riding. In the past couple of years I've been using it again but the brakes are crap, they just...

I have recently acquired a wonderful squeeking/screeching sound from the brakes when applied fully and wondered if anyone had any tips on what I can do before taking it to the local bike shop. I have tried wipe down the discs and giving the bike and wheels a thorough clean that reduces the noise...

in 2006 I fitted deore hydraulic disk brakes to my mountain bike and the braking performance was pretty good. They now feel to be quite lacking, even compared to my wife's cable pull disk brakes on a much newer bike. admittedly the pads are the original ones from 2006, the fluid in the...

Hi All I have a Croix de Fer with TRP HyRd disc brakes. I have never been entirely happy with them, but I guess over time I have got used to them. I have tried various different discs and pads (including changing to resin ones) but nothing really seems to make them any better. I rode my...

After 10 months of silent operation from new, my Shimano M396 hydraulic discs began squealing like banshees. I cleaned the pads and discs with brake cleaner, which briefly alleviated the problem but it came back. I bought new Shimano pads (F&R), cleaned the discs again and fitted them -...

Hi. Just bought a new Pedelec mountain bike over the internet. All is working well apart from the disk brakes that have a severe case of ABS. Hard braking is DIABOLICAL, intermittantly grabbing and fading. I had the bike safety checked when I got it and mentioned the brakes but although...

I could look up all this stuff, of course, but I am hoping it is easier to pick the brains of CC peeps. I am building a new all-season commuter/workhorse. The frame is a Kaffenback. The idea is to have a tough disc-braked road bike, so as to stop wearing away so many rims with the salt-and-sand...
