Hi Burners.
I recently replaced my Formula C1 (Possibly the worlds worst brake) with brand new Shimano SLX 7000's on my Spesh Epic. Pretty easy process to switch out and had the job done pretty quickly. Took the bike for a test spin and my god the rear brake makes a horrendous noise. It's like a howling noise that is so bad I can't even ride the damn thing. Front brake seems OK. I'm absolutely positive I didn't get any oil on the pads or rotor, and I cleaned the rotor with cleaning alcohol.
Any ideas? I'm presuming that they can use the same mount and that isn't the issue. Rotor looks to be straight and isn't rubbing at all on the pads. I've done a search with not much joy.
Cheers,
Coaster
