*About This Video*
There are many benefits to disc brakes, but there are also many frustrations too. One of the biggest is when they start honking like a goose. Sorting this problem isn’t as hard as some would have you think, and in this video, I’ll show you how.
Screaming brakes is caused by one of two things, moisture or contamination. If your brakes are clean and dry, and they’re still screaming like a Banshee, then they’re probably contaminated.
Not only is the noise annoying to both you and everyone around you, but braking performance is reduced dramatically.
