wtf? can't be right can it? Brake noise

Changed brake pads in the ped a few week back now cos they were metal on metal, then coming out of the mighty asda before (was buying tomorrows dinner for work lol) they were making a grinding noise again, no way can i need some new ones already?

or is there something stupidly wrong with my brakes? lol

 

i'll try that tomorrow - running finger over disc - shouldn't be worn like... could be though... copper grease on back of pads? fuck knows, dad fitted them for me - he'l be getting a slap if there is haha,

aint trying it now, too cold to go outside and i'm wearing a pair of shorts so fuck that..

any other suggestions?

 

ahh right ok then as you see i know shag all lol...

the metal "Squeaking" ? what you mean by that, it just sounds like 2 pieces of metal grinding against each other as though they're worn down again...

or is that what you mean by 'squeaking' ?

 

could be rock salt on your pads...from gritting the roads..

best to whip the pads out to check, if they are worn down already,

you must have a sticking caliper, quite common this time of year

 

whats common? the rock salt or the calliper?..

out of those 2 im guessing its the rock salt seems to be all our council spends fucking money on - even then the manage to get it everywhere but the road -.- usless twats lol

 

the rock salt gets in every where, and its a corrosive,

which means it starts eating away at your car, scooter what ever...

when the grit/rock salt gets onto your pads/discs can make a scraping noise,
similar to worn away pads...

when it gets onto you brake pistons it causes them to stick, you may not even notice, untill your pads wear away in double quick time :msn1:

 

ahhh right ok then guys thanks

get my dad to sort it when he comes home tomorrow, bastard goes away for a weekend and my brakes decide they wanna make a funny noise, roads decide to try and throw me off, tyres decide to feel flat lol...

oh well! back tomorrow, i'll get him to fix it hah

 

im not sure what the set up is like on the aerox, but on the runner for example

you have to take the rear wheel off before you can take the rear brake caliper off...

but on a lot of peds...runner included, you cant take the rear wheel off without taking the exhaust off

but if you just undo the rear wheel nuts almost all the way, it gives you enough free play to wangle the caliper out from inside the rear wheel

as i said not 100% sure if this applies to an aerox, ive never worked on one...

 

to my knowledge at the minute it's only the front one doing it lol, and i need a new back tyre atm anyway - mines barely legal (considering you only need visible tread) thats how bad it is lol...

 

yeahh best get a new one, other wise if your out in the rain at all,

its going to be pretty slippery :wtf:

 

quite funny that, i know someone who drew the tread on his tyre before an MOT with permanent marker and it passed with just an advisory.

personally below 1mm and its time to replace

 

Lmfao wobbly seriously?! that's brilliant lol...

and who changed the topic title =[

and yeah dave it's slippy all the time, i'm scared to lean the bitch like i do in the dry (its constant rain up here almost) lol...
