ICYCLE DISC BRAKES ROTOR SQUEAL HOW TO
Relevant information on when and how to replace the brake pads can be found at the manufacturer website on the tenth page of the user manual. Replacement pads can be ordered directly from Organic Transit and can be replaced in the ELF by the customer, or by a local bicycle shop. As such, the customer is responsible for the cost of replacing them. Brake pads are not covered under warranty as they are a “wear” component.
ICYCLE DISC BRAKES ROTOR SQUEAL SKIN
Be careful not to touch the pads or brake rotors directly with your hands as this can contaminate the parts with natural skin oil as well as dirty your hands.

To check the thickness of the pads, remove them from the calipers with a pair of forceps. The particular brake pads that we use need to be replaced if the total thickness of the backing plate and the pad friction material is ever less than 3mm. If the noise you are experiencing is beyond the range of natural squeaking, then the next most likely cause of the noise is natural wear and tear/aging.There are spray-on compounds that will relieve the noise but will reduce the effectiveness of the brakes. Brakes are a friction device that place metal in contact with hard surfaces and so by the nature of how they operate they will often generate noise thus, squeaking is to be considered within the natural range of functioning for disk brakes. This is most likely the case if the noise you are experiencing is mild.

The most likely cause of squeaky brakes is natural noise.
