Ringing front rotor

gaff_taff

Hello,

Just been out to ride my bike quickly and i have noticed that my front rotor is now making a ringing noise when i turn right. My brakes arnt new and i have had them for 1 year, do you think i need new pads anyway as i have ridden alot over the year i have had the bike. How many mm is recommended to be left before you change pads?

Oh and the other day i removed the pads from my rear brake and noticed the pads were silky smooth, not sure if this is normal or should i roughen them up a little with some sand paper?

I am off to check if the bolts holding on my rotor are not loose.

Any help will be much appreciated, Cheers

You can get a bit of flex when turning and slight rub.

Just checked my bolts and there all tight,
But i didnt have this problem until yesterday though,

I reckon i need new pads anyway,

Check your qr too.

Oh didnt think about that , New quick release aswell so will check if has come loose.

nothing to do with pads.

alignment might be off a gnats whisker.

but more likely to be bearings and fork flex.
