Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads I have Sram Cide R brakes and the rotors are making a weird sound (you can hear it in video). They are tightened down and uts really anoying because u can hear it when riding. Do you know how to stop it? Weird sound coming from brake rotors byu/ssevcik_ inMTB by ssevcik_ Bicycling Biking Cycling Mountain Bikers Mountain Biking
cassinonorth on February 15, 2025 12:02 pm It’s not the rotor. Could be the caliper, could be a loose spoke, could be the hub. Also stop touching the rotor with your bare fingers.
wwwsam on February 15, 2025 12:04 pm Is the rear bigger? Bigger probably means more ding ding? I also find big rear casettes tend to magnify any sound. Otherwise maybe you could adjust the caliper/pads etc. Else just live with it or change your rotors and cross fingers it’s stiffer or something.
