Is there a way to fix squeaky brakes on VELOWAVE bike?

Yes, squeaky brakes on your VELOWAVE bike can often be fixed with some basic maintenance. Start by cleaning the brake pads and rims with isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt or oil that may be causing the noise. Ensure that the pads are properly aligned with the rims; misalignment can cause squeaking.

If cleaning doesn't work, inspect the brake pads for wear. Worn pads may need replacement, and it’s advisable to replace them if they appear thin. Adjusting the brake tension can also help eliminate squeaks.

For instance, a rider found that after cleaning their brakes thoroughly, the squeaking reduced significantly, leading to a smoother ride.

Pro Tip: Regularly check your brake system for wear and tear, especially after long rides.

However, if the squeaking persists even after trying these solutions, you may need to consult a professional to ensure no underlying issues exist.
