My bike brakes are squeaking. I cleaned my chain and other parts yesterday with chain cleaner. I'm not sure if a little cleaner got on the brakes. Could that be the cause, and what can I do about it?

Loading...Hello, I'm looking to buy a new Enduro MTB soon, but the model I've chosen is only available as a mullet with 27.5 and 29-inch wheels, or as a full 29-inch version (YT Capra Core 1). I'm about 1.74m tall and wanted to know if the bike would be too big for me. Thanks
Hello! My question is whether you can use this roller trainer (see picture) for both wheels, i.e. rear and front wheel alternately. Thank you in advance for your answers! 🙂
Bicycle tires usually indicate the maximum permissible tire pressure. What is this pressure for your bicycle tire? Please also state the tire's width and whether it's a road bike tire or a tire for a city bike, mountain bike, trekking bike, etc.
Hello 🙂 I want to repaint my bike for aesthetic reasons. Yesterday I went to a bike repair shop and was advised against it because I have an aluminum frame and shouldn't sand it. Sandblasting is not an option because I don't know of any company in my area. However, the frame's coating is quite…
We have very few bike paths here, and some are so poor that people prefer to ride on the road. So, my survey: What's the situation where you are? Are there enough bike paths where you live? Are they well developed and passable? Are your bike paths too narrow, too steep, too bumpy? Are they…
Hello, how do I get the screw into the hole? Is something missing? Because it only rotates when I turn it.
Disc brakes absolutely do not wear oil/fat. One, two small splashes from a chain cleaner, which is always somewhat fat-containing, can be sufficient that a disc brake only still squeaks and no longer brakes meaningfully.
You can clean the pane: demonting, 2-3 passages through the dish sink, then wet a few times alternately with brake cleaner and rub off with a clean cloth… until this cloth remains clean.
The brake pads are usually not to be saved and must be replaced. You can try to “burn” it by placing it outside (!) on a refractory and heat-resistant base (e.g. paving stones) and working for 10 minutes with a hot air blower or a weed flame. With luck, you can slow them down again and the brake works again normally. If that doesn’t work, you have to replace them.
That means I just need to buy new brake pads
And clean the pane thoroughly. And after mounting both parts, brake the brake again.
Next time you think to protect the brake from splashes 😉
How long does it take to brake the new brake again normally
You’re missing the rear brake. You have an additional siren on the bike.
Sure, the rear brake is not so important for short braking distances. But if the front should have some problem, it’s good if you have a second brake.
Can I still drive
