i need some advice on the issue of squealing brakes. i am running avid juicy 3s on my intense spider. the rig is about 6 months old. lately i have been doing a little steeper trail and when i descend, after about 15 minutes, the brakes will start to squeal.
the pads have plenty of life left. the LBS told me to bring the bike in for them to have a look.
the issue seems to be heat related, as when i let them cool a bit, the noise goes away.also, if i dont press down that hard they arent noisy, but it is hard to control
as i dont want to crash!
i have heard suggestions to go to a larger rotor. perhaps the pads are contaminated or glazed over..
any suggestions?
you will hear me coming
