CRC Disc Brake Quiet

New Zealand's contribution to Western culture ?

Yep, that and No8 wire, rugby, pavlovas, jet boats, bungee jumping, airplanes, the haka, jetpacks, Covid19 management, etc

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

, yes we do that on cars as well, brakes needs to be serviced from time to time, it prevents from being sticky and squeaky

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.

any grease ? or a special product like the OP suggests ?

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.

[GoldOxide_imp]

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.

[peterbaron]

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

Agreed. Traditionally I rarely used the brakes.

[Enzofour_imp]

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...
