Popular Post Parr8hed Posted November 13, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted November 13, 2019 Has never been right. Rear brake makes a horrid buzzing sound. I have been through numerous sets of pads and rotors. Had a buddy that is very good with bikes look it over. I've had it back to the shop several (4) times. They had Cannondale look at it. Apparently Cannondale cannot reproduce the sound. Buuuuut it has a fork recall. Prob won't have a new fork in hand for it until Jan. (When cross season is over). G has grown. Won't be able to ride this bike next year. Manager of shop just ordered him a new Giant TCX on them. Should be in today. Just in time for the UCI race in Cincy this weekend. 8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinneR ★ Posted November 13, 2019 Share #2 Posted November 13, 2019 Sram brakes, then the sound is normal, Shimano might be a problem. A new bike will solve the problem. Way to go! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work, but they can be loud. I figure the noise helps keep the bears away. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think Sram would just buy some Shimano brakes and copy the design. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but has G ever been attacked by a big ol' bear when riding the NoiseMaster7000? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear a lot of hate on SRAM brakes and I had Shimano SLX brakes on my HT and they weren’t any better than my SRAMs. Never had any road discs tho. Maybe I just got lucky? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Triathlon, MTB and cross you can use any gearing you want. Road is the only discipline that has "junior gearing". One of his past teammates had a sticker on her bike that said "Junior Gears, No Beers". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
