Columbo Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Hello all, After riding my YBR in the rain, the rear brake (drum) has started to squeak. Its now dry and still squeaks. What do I do? Much love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirriePete Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Constant squeak or just when you brake? Constant - check for something rubbing - bike on centre stand, spin wheel by hand while getting your ear in close. Find the squeak and adjust/lubricate it. On braking - clean the dust out of the drum, try not to breath any in, it's not asbestos-based these days but it's still not nice. Then have a look at the shoes and see if they're glazed over (too shiny) - a quick onceover with some emery paper will take the shine off. Also check the pivot points and give them a thin smear of copaslip while you're in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
