Anyone got a fix for noisy/chattering brake pads? I'm real sick of hearing it whenever I hit a bump in the road (from both the front and the rear).
I can make it stop by applying light pressure to the brake levers, but I will wear out the pads in no time! Too many bumpy roads around and not...
I installed my first set of new front brake pads today with 17,700 miles on the original pads that still had more than half the meat left on them. Oh well, I got the pads with my Rocket Classic recently purchased. So I put them on. WOW ! What a difference ! I do need new back pads for sure, so...
