hi all i juz gotten a 2nd hand giant xtc 3 frm one of the buyer frm togoparts..handles pretty well except that i tink i m facing problems with the disc brakes

the front disc brakes does not stop the tire efficiently, i ve to press the lever all the way for the bike to come to a complete stop and it oso takes a few seconds for it to halt completely.

i oso discovered for the disc brake at the back , though more efficient than the front, but then it makes a loud screeching sound whenever i press the brake lever, either immediate or even when i press the lever in short burst.this means its not smooth,cos i remembered riding my frd's bike, both of his disc brakes does not work this way.

does this mean both disc brakes are whacked liao.? paiseh if sound noob cos this the 1st time i bought this bike with disc brakes so not very sure. wld appreciate some advice frm u bike enthusiasts.thanks

that red/white XTC? i think its mechanical disc, use wire to pull one.. i gonna just give some suggestion but u have to go goggle how to do it.. so...

Front disc
-adjust wire tension
-could be brake pad finishing also
-sadly, some lower end mech disc just work this way~

Rear disc
-could be due to oil on rotor, use denatured alchohol to wipe the rotor surface
-if got oil on rotor, maybe got oil on brake pad also, need to sand away the top surface
-rotor could be warp

anyway when it is raining and the rotors are wet, screeching will occur also, under such circumstances then it is consider normal..

woah..thanks for the headsup man.. so the difference between mechanical n hydraulic disc brakes differs by a great disparity?

yes of cos... hydraulics works with oil.. mechanical works with wire pulling..

in terms of modulation, hydraulics win hands down

 

[Alpha_Hippo]

hydraulics work well in our country without winter

How you all pump tires @ petrol station ah?

That time I tried cannot lei.

-Remove valve cap.
-Set PSI to 55
-Press the gauge against valve
-Tire deflate instead.
