    Plenty of squeals and howls coming from the couple of disk braked bikes on our chaingang on long descents

    My bb7s with sintered pads seem to get hot and start squealing/juddering on long brake dragging descents*, the noise is a bit disconcerting but power seems consistent.

    *yes I know it’s crap technique but it was the descent into bottomley on the MTL, already had 2 punctures, 35c tires, rigid, I wasn’t risking another pinch flat.

    I cannot lock up my wheels in the wet, no matter how hard I brake. In fact I can’t do much more than decelerate gently. If it’s not too steep.

    Discs for me please.

    I can see how discs would appeal if your current setup is that bad.

    It’s standard 105 calipers with Ultegra levers. I’m talking about riding in persistent pouring rain mind.

    Ultegra calipers are on my Christmas list.

    A while since I had a bike with 105 calipers but try different pads as I don’t recall them being so bad. I ran kool stops on mavic open pros iirc
