Thanks, the first solution fixed my annoying ticking sound after removing the front wheel to fit a mudguard.

Rim Brakes: "Just a matter of time, you disc brakes enthusiasts will become Prodigal Sons . . . and Daughters!"! "Waiting"

I have Campy 12 disc brakes and they were very noisy when even slightly wet. I switched to swissstop pads. Problem solved and amazing stopping power with very nuanced application

nice fix until you push the pistons back and it starts leaking oil.. some person on the www said you have to open iirc the bleedvalve before doing this. some calipers don't like it when pistons get pushed back without some relief

I'm going out and ride my totally silent rim brake bike immediately. Hopefully, that will help me "unhear" that disc brake squeal. That torturous sound should be outlawed by the Geneva Convention.

[MONKEYBRAINS]

Thanks so much for the tip, saves me a trip to the bike store and spending unnecessary money

9 times of 10! I work at decathlon bike workshop and 10 times out of 10 it doesn't solve the problem 😅

Idk why but the bike rubbing noise was too funny 🤣

[mididoctors]

This is reminding me of everyone returning to BSA bottom brackets

Solution 1: Go back to Rim Brake
Solution 2 - 5: Read solution 1

My dog finds your rubbing disk brake more annoying than I do, and that's saying something! She came out of the bedroom whining, very anxious, put her paw on me like “are you OK?”

[newmtb]

Thank u did it on my handrail aint rubbing anymore

[DavinderSingh-wveh]

Is it normal for this problem on a brand new bike from the LBS?

[doomguy]

1. Get a rim break.
2. See number 1.

[Dangling_Carrot]

I got an ex to prove you wrong on annoying for sure. A Rotor….to funny😂

[colincochrane]

Tried both before and it didn’t work I had to spin my wheel and push the caliber back and forth a bit and retighten

Rim brake fans - oh you'll be back only a matter of time but you'll be back
