Just wondering if anyone is having this problem on there Classic. When I ride the bike for 30 minutes or so, the front brakes start to squeel. I know the brake will heat up and it is awful when you pull up some place. So is anyone else having this problem?
No, but if your bike is still under warranty, and you dont mind letting a stranger touch your bike....and you dont mind a stranger touching the front brakes on your bike....you can get it fixed under warranty for free.
Or you can do a few things......like switch the left and right rotors so that right is on the left side of the wheel and the left is on the right.
You could pull the pads out (clean the caliper the best you can while they are out) and coat the back side of them with some "Disc Brake Quiet" (google it)....and yes it does work.
