Why brake problems need proper diagnosis

Squealing, rubbing or weak braking is not always solved by fitting new pads. Contamination, glazing, warped rotors, poor bleed, uneven pistons, hose issues or the wrong pad compound can all cause the same symptoms. Bike Clinique checks the system as a whole so the fix is the right one.

FAQs

Why are my disc brakes squealing?

Common causes include oil or cleaning product contamination on the pads or rotor, glazed pad surfaces, a misaligned caliper, or a bent rotor. We inspect for free to find the exact cause.

Can contaminated brake pads be saved?

Sometimes light contamination can be cleaned, but in most cases replacement pads are the reliable fix. We will advise honestly during your free inspection.

Will new pads stop the noise?

Only if pads are the problem. If the rotor is contaminated or the caliper is misaligned, new pads alone will not solve it. We diagnose before we replace anything.
