Make sure to check that the brake lines that wrap around the calipers are not
rubbing omn the back of the rim, that will cause an awful racket.

[Roadsters] Brake question
All,
I have an issue with my brakes that I
have had since I bought the car. On
shorter drives, I have no issues, but
when I drive for more than an hour I get
this squeak from the brakes. It
sounds like a squealer on modern disc brakes
to alert when the pads are
getting low. I get it on both front brakes but not
all the time and not
always at the same time. Stepping on the brakes makes it
go away for a while,
but the it comes back. Some times it is a chirp chirp
chirp and other times
its a constant squeal.
So far, I have replaced the hoses with stainless
steal, replaced the pads,
rebuilt the calipers, and bled the brakes several
times. They are correctly
and fully adjusted. Any thoughts as to the cause?
It seems like the calipers
are not retracting completely, but I don't know
why. The problems seems worse
on hot days, but happens in the cold too.
The
pads are a bit tight in the caliper. should they be filed down on the
edges?
Thanks in advance for your knowledge.
