I bought my GF (now fiance) a new mtn bike last summer as hers was about 8 years old. Well, out on a ride this weekend, the disc brakes squeaked when they were applied. As we have not done a ton of mtn biking (we also road ride, and she sometimes cannot make the mtn rides I do bc of her work), I am wondering at what point is it normal for disc brakes to squeak, and once they do, do they need servicing?
I have V-brakes so know little to nothing about disc brakes.
I will clean the pads and check the rotors too, but I don't think that a bend in the rotors is the cause, as both front and back are squeaking, and I think it is highly unlikely both rotors are bent. But I will check that out anyway.......eliminate all possibilites and you will have found the problem. Thanks;-)
