Just wondering if anyone has experienced this.
After 15 - 20 minutes of continuous use of brakes on tight fast-ish descending roads the front brakes begin to protest (i.e. squeak/squeal).
I’ve experienced this on my own bike in June whilst on a tour of the Picos & Pyrenees.
And I’m now experiencing this on a hire bike here in the Spanish Pyrenees and mountains of Catalonia.
Both bikes 2021 GSA’s. Pads seem fine. Discs look good.
Only happens on tight twistiest where there’s no let up (straights) for a few kilometres.
Had my own brakes checked over by Barnstormers and they said they were fine.
So, is this a case of ‘they all do this’ or is it overheating ?
Never experienced this in the UK because there simply aren’t roads like these for the distances I’m referring to.
