Riding around with money sellotaped to the calipers is not really a solution is it? lol<br /><br />I know that no brakes make a guarantee to not make a racket- but Avids seem to be the leader when it comes to this issue. I've owned several brakes form Avid- and not had issues...... funny eh.Paul Petchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03808522883801438488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959320445526385746.post-22540770634523082212009-11-01T01:11:05.143+00:002009-11-01T01:11:05.143+00:00I agree with you Paul, noise/vibration problems ar...I agree with you Paul, noise/vibration problems are very common with Avids but other brakes don‘t come with a guarantee that they won‘t have the same problem. While I would never go out and buy Avids, they come on so many bikes it would be very hard not to end up with them on a bike sooner or later. Seeing as they came on the Paragon I thought it would be a good idea to look at what others are doing and try to fix the problem. Rather than throwing £250 worth of brakes in the bin and hoping their replacement works properly. In this case the adding weights idea appears to work for me.<br /><br />Keresz, all useful info and I’ll bare it in mind.LordOnOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291419328891220367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959320445526385746.post-72825907841339855432009-10-31T07:56:08.650+00:002009-10-31T07:56:08.650+00:00this has been going on with avid brakes for years-...this has been going on with avid brakes for years- and people keep complaining and trying to fix it.<br /><br />The solution is to not use avid brakes.
