kawan, disc brake bising when braking how to solve?

i tried cleanning washing and scrubbing with scouring pad, i even replaced with new brake pads. but it it was quiet only for a short while. after that the squeling came back. although it makes no diffeence to stopping distance, but the sound of it is pretty annoying.

plus there is some rubbing at my rear disc which i believe might be slightly bent at one place. is changing the disc the only answer?
*
what do u use to clean the discs?
what type of brake compound?
what brand is the discs?

u can straighten the disc. lightly push/bend it.

Dishwasher liquid + the usual green pads lah

No idea what is the brake pad compound.

No brand disc, the common ones I guess. Came standard on the bike

go ace hardware find brakleen

if still noisy after cleaning, try sintered pads

i find my discs howl when i keep my bikes in storage for a while. i assume dust makes the discs howl. i clean them using IPA before i ride. bed them in first.
i also find my sram discs tend to howl quicker than shimano discs.

like all they said before,. saddle are subjective. however fizik does come a concept to determine what saddle are good for u

i know fizik saddle are a bit expensive, but u have an option such as selle royal or fabric that priced a bit lower than fizik and nearly identical to fizik design.

menyibuk sini kejap. kenot pakai la this one... i could bend down n touched my toes. used arione. long ride painful lah.
read cervelo's article about saddles choice. followed their advice. best decision ever.

It's OK investment if the saddle fits you and gives you comfort.  nod.gif

I've seen some using Berk carbon fibre saddle with zero paddings and they said it's comfortable for them.

not pic from side. pic from top.
ur saddle nose needs to be narrow.
the wings must be sculpted more.
susah nak cakap macam mana.
u open selle italia website, see road saddles.
see Flite shape vs SLR shape
u need something like Flite

I haven't tried tilting nose down method yet.

Edit*
From I just read. :
To achieve a neutral weight balance between your saddle and hands, your saddle should be installed anywhere from level to 1-2 degrees nose up. This gets you sitting on the wider rear-part of the saddle and puts your upper body weight on your butt and not on your arms and shoulders.Sep 3, 2010

have u tried moving ur saddle back? maybe u been sitting too far back?
saddle tilt is about pressure on perineum

actually, the spine concept from fizik doesnt meet 100% requirement for any of us. some may need to experiment, try & error.

as for me, not all arione i can used.
the arione cx does gave me a pain after 100km, but arione r5 or r7 gave me comfort event though after 160km. the other arione model i never tried, becoz it was too expensive.

and sometimes, choosing the right and good bib/cycling pants do impact ur comfort. last time i used monton, when i used normal sized more pain for me. but if i down 1sized, it does comfort all day long ride.

IMHO,the best cheapest thing is to get good cycling pants. after that, u can invest on saddle. my friend using stock dahon saddle and can go audax 400km without any pain.
*
hmm... i think la, choosing good cycling shorts for these reasons
- better fabric. so that the padding will stay put and wont shift around. if it shifts around, then u gonna get chafing at nether region
- better moisture management. keep ur didi area stay dry.
- durability. i had affordable dhb and expensive spez. both gave me same comfort. but the dhb comfort started to degrade after around 1 year of use

saddles, cheap or expensive is secondary. first priority is to get the correct shape and fit. also to install it correctly on ur bike (in terms of bikefit).
my bottom happens to agree with cervelo's article. my bum got enough natural padding. my bum suits flat saddle.

i had 4 saddles before i reached the final one. 5th saddle, spez toupe.
