List of common problems to watch for

uh oh.. I HATE brake squeak! :dontknow:

It can be good at times, like when you hit the brake when a car is starting to pull out right in front of you and they hear the squeak.

One evening, when I was riding a mountain bike alone, in a state park, a mountain lion jumped onto the trail in front of me. I hit the brakes hard and they squealed. That scared the lion into running down the trail away from me and I have never minded brake squeal quite as much since.

There was a post today on the Can-Am Talk forum from someone who had the same problem and used a little WD-40 on the release mechanism. He said it worked like a charm.

thanks Bruce,

I dont know why i didnt think of that wd 40 and duck tape are standard issue in my garage

use a nice lithium grease, or a synthetic grease of some sort, WD-40 is good, but a lightweight grease will function longer.
