these are semi metallic. Jagwire deore. Let’s see how long they stay quiet.

they did not add fluid or check fluid. The disc was straight.

the good part is this shop was same day service, not busy, and real friendly, unlike the other store I was at yesterday, where they acted lIke they were doing me a favor. I asked them to show me what screws they used to align the brake pads so I could do it myself next time and they got annoyed.

30 a pair, 20 per install. bike shops don’t sell at Amazon prices. These are jagwire.

Sanding did not work. Cleaning did not work. Brake pads were replaced. Problem solved. Bike shop told me the pads were infected. After only 20 km riding on dry road? Could they have been this way when I assembled the bike? See photos for infected pads. The front brakes also started to make scuba...

Replaced front and back brake pads. They told me these were infected. (tektro) From a brand new bike with 20 Km on it! Did they come like this from the factory? The front ones were starting to make minor scuba noises as well, so got those replaced too. First photo is rear pads. (really bad...

Update from bike shop. They sanded the pads, cleaned the rotor, checked for anything loose, then told me it was fixed. I tested it and it‘s exactly the same. Either it was quiet for the few minutes they tested it or they have no ears. Next step: they will replace the pads completely. If this...

All I hope for is someone to Recognize the Sound, to identify the sound, its origin, its cause. I wouldn’t be here if I had not already talked to bike shops and the company, presented them with audio, and did a very thorough search of YouTube. So far, no one is saying “I know that sound!” which...

here is a better video sample.

maybe this gets more views being in the general maintenance thread. Rize bike forum does not get a lot of traffic.

But why only on back brake? Front brake stops from good speed are silent. if there was water in there I would hear it from mile one, not starting after 20 KM in.

Yes, but the water sloshing noise started before it was even taken to the shop. It was noiseless for 20km, then got really bad.

They never test ride bikes. They arrive from China boxed, then Shipped to customer. And even if they did test drive, the problem never happened until after a 20 km ride. No company tests bikes that far. Also, if all bikes need to be bedded, then my other bike with disc brakes would have the same...

a bird chirping? Squeaking? Lol. No, it sounds like water running through pipes. I know what squeaking sounds like on these brakes. The amazing thing is no one recognizes the sound, or the cause of the sound, including the company.

Brand new bike. Tektro disc brakes. 20 km on it. Noise from back brake started. Even at walking speed on pas 1, it sounds like a toilet flushing whenever brakes are applied. Like water gurgling through the frame of the bike. People across the street turn to look. I don’t even need a bell...

noise was there even before getting pads aligned.

I just had brake pad alignment done at a shop. It has nothing to do with the sound of water through pipes.

the sound of water is from what? how does cleaning the rotor eliminate noise? I don’t know how to rebed pads. I can’t even find a single video where someone explains or demonstrates this noise.

Brand new bike. Tektro disc brakes. One ride yesterday. Today, noise from back brake started. Even at walking speed on pas 1, it sounds like a toilet flushing whenever brakes are applied. Like water gurgling through the frame of the bike. People across the street turn to look. I don’t even need...
