A mates bike used to *always* sound like that f**king windmill on Camberwick Green.

Disc brake riders? :lol: :lol:
Been off/on raining over here and on that first day of rain that gets all the oil surfaced on the road, my rotors squeel and howl the moment they get a splash on them and I have to brake. I shamefully apologize to riders around me at stops on behalf of my brakes :cry:

I was recently watching a video of the pro peloton...think it was the UAE tour
hectic & nerve racking to say the least...But when they entered a few turns near the finish the disc screeching was way more than I was expecting. :wink:

No, how is this even a question Image.
Dunno. I've seen plenty of people who do not seem to be fazed about it.
