Brakes not right... Front makes a strange almost rubber on steel sound
Re: Brakes not right... Front makes a strange almost rubber on steel sound
I had new pads fitted today. Cost me best part of £250. Problem completely gone away. Whether something else was done at the same time or not I don't know. The pads didn't appear contaminated to look at them and they still had plenty of braking surface depth. They did have a shiny steel like surface to them. So, I'm not entirely sure. ...but for now with new ones it seems to work very well again.
I reckon whoever saturated your wheels on ACF 50 owes you £250

Our collective guess was right contaminated pads. Glad its all sorted but boy do BM know how to charge !

No sign of contamination though. I did the ACF50 and fully covered the wheels. I think it's the pad material.RTman10 wrote: I had new pads fitted today. Cost me best part of £250.
