Brakes not right... Front makes a strange almost rubber on steel sound

[guest2360]

I had new pads fitted today.  Cost me best part of £250.  Problem completely gone away.  Whether something else was done at the same time or not I don't know.  The pads didn't appear contaminated to look at them and they still had plenty of braking surface depth.  They did have a shiny steel like surface to them.  So, I'm not entirely sure.  ...but for now with new ones it seems to work very well again.


I reckon whoever saturated your wheels on ACF 50 owes you £250

Our collective guess was right contaminated pads. Glad its all sorted but boy do BM know how to charge !

No sign of contamination though. I did the ACF50 and fully covered the wheels.  I think it's the pad material.
