i have a 2 month old specialized stumpjumper comp with avid elixer disc brakes and all of a sudden they have been making a very off putting scraping noise and it just sound a little bit worriying.i have ridden about 90 miles offroad. i tryed giving it a good wash and scrub as i thought it could be some grit and that worked for about a day or 2 but the noise has come back, it isnt as bad now though but can still hear it. it is the back brake by the way any help would be very greatful

    have you looked at the condition of the pads?

    yes i have checked the pads but havnt taken them out as i dont think i could get them back in:) but i took the wheel out and had a look down. i was thinking that if they are ceamic then they might need roughening up
