Cube Team Ltd 2007 noisy front + rear disks/brakes

zikoziko

I have a problem with my Cube Team Ltd 2007 bike that is driving me mad. I have a strange jingly type noise that comes from both the front and back disc/brakes when I pick up a bit of speed. I can cycle slowly and the noise doesn't occur very often if at all.

The brakes are Formula K18.

I've taken the bike to a bike shop, which shall remain anonymous, 3 times and on the final time they gave me a story about "flex" causing the disc to rub against the brake pads, and that as the pads wear down the noise will go away (they also supposedly adjusted the discs to make sure there was no bend in them).

Unfortunately, over time the noise is getting worse! It is particularly bad if I quickly turn left and right whilst moving. Everything is tight, and secure tho, so it's not a rattling of something that is loose I don't think.

Also, I don't believe that disc brakes should ever make these noises. I would really really appreciate some help with this!!!!!! I'll gladly provide more info if requested, but I am no expert at all, I'm a total novice.

you will find that many formul;a users have this proble. you will also find that many other disc brake users have similar problems.

and yes with use it goes.

mine dont make this noise though. but i have been using them for a few years now.

Thanks very much for the reply!!

Ok, so can I solve the problem by getting new brakes then?! Perhaps with a wider gap between the pads and the disc?

Did your brakes/discs make a noise at first?

Thanks!
