hi all.
i have had my tektro I0 mechanical disc brakes for about 4 months now, and have been plagued with the same problem with the front one; a grinding/creaking noise when i ride, at any speed. it gets really loud when i lean into corners.
when i apply the brake it stops, but i cant see anything wrong with the disc or caliper. the newish pads are about one month old, and are fully worn in.
its been into halfords 3 times. they told me it was fork flex. the noise cannot be caused by fork flex, as i have recently fitted toras, which are much stiffer than my old rs darts...and the noise persists!
please help because the noise is driving me insane! :evil:
thanks all :D
