Cannondale Road Brake
how much would it cost to make this repair on a road bike?
this 1996 cannondale R600 aluminum road bike squeaks when I hit the brakes. Mostly the front tire, but sometimes the back. Really bad and loud. I've heard it can be a multitude of issues contributing from another cyclist. I am borrowing it, so gotta fix it...yikes. How much would the repair bill be for something like this? Outrageous, or not? The brake are not worn, they still hit the rims on good contact. I tried a wd-40 lubricant spray, it did nothing, didn't worsen it either.
Sounds like the the "pads" may be glazed. You should be able to buy replacement pads for the front (which supplies most of the braking power) for under $20 for decent ones, and go ahead and install them your self, one at a time.
