I would love to visit New Zealand as it is such a beautiful country but so far away from us . We have seen many tv programs about your Country and friends of us lived there for 6 months and loved it.

I spent three weeks in Australia a few years ago and loved it, but haven't made it to New Zealand yet.
It's still on my bucket list so there is still hope Big Grin Big Grin

I do all my own brake work, from rebuilding the calipers and replacing what is worn; but the simple task of grease to prevent squeaking on bikes & cars, works. Takes no time, cost almost nothing, and helps you live with brakes that do not sound like something is about to lock up. Since I replace fluids every year or two, and attend to calipers if needed, I have very quiet brakes on my vehicles, and recommend more people take the time take care for the most important safety item on a bike, save the tires.

Over the last few years since the financial crisis it has apparently become the playground for the super rich and their kids and teens. It’s easier to book a heli flight than to find accommodation which fits your pockets. Prices all over the place soaring. Locals from NZ, please tell me my very limited, second hand knowledge is wrong.

I use an anti seize brake lube. It comes as coper or aluminium mix...maybe even more...
This is for metal parts:

For robber boots/sliders, I use silicone lubricating compound:

Lots of good and different products on the market.
Use it as specified.

RE: CRC Disc Brake Quiet - GoldOxide_imp - 01-29-2021

Good quality boots/sliders (typically OEM) I find don't require additional rubbing agents, even when left all day, five days a week, baking in profuse, direct hot summer beat-down rays.

RE: CRC Disc Brake Quiet - peterbaron - 01-29-2021

Never done any brake service on any of my bikes either...we're talking about products, I use for cars Smile

Agreed. Traditionally I rarely used the brakes.

RE: CRC Disc Brake Quiet - Enzofour_imp - 01-29-2021

to eliminate brake whistle, put a light layer of copper paste behind the pads.

Houtman if you make it here, let me know. We have lots of good rides around here and I've got a place for you to stay, if the travel restrictions ever end..

You can stay in a tent if you want, or travel the country in a campervan on a shoestring budget, like thousands of visitors do every year. There is visitor accommodation to suit all budgets.
Housing affordability on a NZ wage is another matter...
