Problem

Possible causes/consequences and Solutions

The brake squeaks when
applied.

The brake calliper is not exactly aligned with the brake
disc.
Have the brake calliper correctly aligned in a qualified
specialist workshop.

There is insufficient tension in the spokes of the wheel.
Have the tension of the spokes checked and corrected
at a qualified specialist workshop.

The wheel is not properly secured.
Tighten the axle nuts and bolts of the dropouts on the
front and rear wheels to the specified torque.

The brake makes metallic
noises; deceleration is very
rough.

Worn brake pads can result in longer braking distan-
ces. There is a risk of an accident.
The brake pads are worn to below the minimum thick-
ness. The brake pad backing plate is grinding against
the friction ring of the brake disc.
