Hi all,
My wife has a Cube WLS Access Pro, which is fitted with Hayes Stroke Ryde brakes, which are the same as mine.
I have experienced no problems with mine, but my wife in the past few weeks is getting some serious vibration when she brakes.
This is coming from the back brake, and I have tried it out, and it really does vibrate through the frame and up the saddle, (some may find this desireable!).
If I clean the pads with a damp clean cloth and wipe the disc, the problem stops. But within days it comes back. I check all the housing bolts to make sure they were tight enough, and they are.
Is it possible for Hydraulic fluid to leak onto the pad? The reason I ask this is, I am certain that the brake lever is a little softer than it was, and I can't see why the pads are getting so contaminated. I have even gently rubbed them down with some sandpaper, but it has still come back.
Any idea's, experiences of the same etc.... greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
