What's the best way to clean disc brakes? Plus dealing with contaminated pads, direct from the experts cycling
The first thing that lets most of us know that all is not right with our disc brakes is usually a lot of howling noises, stains on the rotors plus a reduction in braking power. This is usually down to oil and other contaminants on the rotor that can reduce friction and therefore performance.
James Alberts, SRAM's brakes Product Manager, has this to say:"Disc brakes work best when there is a consistent braking surface created by material transfer from the pad to the rotors. We have found that cleaning with isopropyl alcohol does a good job of maintaining this relationship while removing grime."
James from SRAM agrees:"The most common contaminants we see are from chain lube overspray and tire sealants. Be careful to get your chain lube where you want it. Also, removing the rotor from a wheel when replacing tire sealant or installing a new tire can help prevent accidental contamination." James from SRAM was clear on his take:"To maintain consistent performance we recommend replacing disc brake pads should they become contaminated."
