Gravel-'Dog Hill Repeats and SRAM Hydraulic Road (HRD) Disc testing • 6/23/18

It takes about 4-1/2 miles to get the turkey gobble warble from the brakes. Sigh. With: one deer, 7 lizards and two fluffy bunnies.

Had the original wheel with the NEW-ish TRP rotor and new-ish organic pads with high-temp metal tape on the backing plate on the front. New-ish Astral wheel on the back with new-ish Shimano rotor. Managed to get both to gobble / warble in about 4-1/2 miles. Ugh.

SRAM Hydraulic Road Disc Brake Tape Hack • 6/22/18

After leaving Chain Reaction Bikes without solving the dreaded “Turkey Warble” issue with my SRAM HRD brakes, I stopped by the hardware store to pick up some supplies for some of the hacks I’d read about while Googling for a solution. Two of them involved using metal tape on the backs of the pads. One was to cover the entire back, and the other was to cover just the portion that the piston contacts. I got the highest-temperature rated tape I could find, as I know that disc brakes generate a lot of heat.

Mike graciously gave me a new set of SRAM pads to experiment with, so I used those for the full-back covering technique, and I took the pads off of the front brake, resurfaced them using the drywall-sanding-screen technique, and put smaller bits of tape on those on the piston contact surfaces.

For now the rotors remain the same. Currently there’s the TRP rotor that Chain Reaction put on the front wheel as a replacement a couple of months ago. That’s still virtually new. I cleaned that off with rubbing alcohol. My new front wheel has a Shimano Ice Tech rotor on it. The original rear wheel still has the SRAM Centerline rotor that came with the bike when I bought it back in December. It’s still in pretty good shape. As a reminder, every one of these combos does the Turkey Warble currently. Mike is ordering me a new SRAM Centerline rotor since SRAM has indicated that ‘everything should be SRAM’. So, if the tape doesn’t fix it, we’ll try that next. Sigh.

Gravelish on Road: The heartbreak of SRAM hydraulic road disc brakes 😖• 6/22/18

I drove the bike over to Chain Reaction Bikes in Redwood City to see if Mike could help me figure out why the SRAM Road Hydraulic brakes keep doing the dreaded “Turkey Warble.” It’s a maddening sound and vibration combo that’s making me crazy. The heartbreak of SRAM hydraulic road disc brakes. They’re making Mike and me pull out our hair. 😖

He replaced the pads and I spent some time bedding them in, and then went to ride over to see Dug the T-Rex to give them more of a road test. initially I was encouraged, but by around 4 miles the warble had returned. Sigh.
