Bike Maintenance Help

[greyhounder]

Hi all you bicycle enthusiasts!

My brakes have become squeaky. What do I do to fix this problem? I’m guessing I need some oil or grease or WD-40 or something. And it goes somewhere. That’s all I know.

I’m going riding again tomorrow afternoon, so advice ASAP would be appreciated. Otherwise it’s “SQUEEEE SQUEEEE SQUEEEE” all the way home….

TIA
Bec

Yeah — that most likely will help. Sounds like work though…. 😆

Just now hoping it’s not too muggy when I get done with work.

Thank you!

You didn’t specify that you wanted someone to fix them for you. Otherwise I suggest just dragging your feet. Seemed to work when I was a kid. Not so good on shoes though 😆

Brakes, you don’t need no steenking brakes !!

Make it easy on yourself and trade the bike in for a car 😆 .

Weather was too cruddy (muggy and stormy looking) for me to get on my bike (boo!)

I’m such a wimp.

Bec,

Maybe you could put some Vaseline on the brake pads. Might help with the squeaking but, beware of the stopping.
