There are a few things you can try to stop BMX brakes from squeaking:
Clean the brake pads and the braking surface of the rim: If the brake pads are dirty or covered in debris, they may squeak when they come into contact with the rim. Clean the rim with a rag and some rubbing alcohol to remove any buildup of dirt or oil.
Check the alignment of the pads: Make sure the pads are correctly aligned within the brake caliper. They should be parallel to the rim and not tilted or skewed in any way.
Check the rim condition: Make sure the rim is clean, true (straight) and free of any dents. If the rim is out of true or has dents, the brake pads will contact unevenly and that can cause squeaking.
Inspect the brake system for any loose or damaged parts and replace them if necessary. Even the smallest adjustments can have make a big difference when it comes to your brakes noise.
Typically if you are running a softer brake pad (clear or coloured generally) this will cause more sound when braking. These optimise performance however if you can't deal with the sound they make- switch to a harder compound of brake pad (typically black depending on the brand) They will usually have a lesser braking performance but they will usually result in quieter braking.
There are a few things you can do to improve the performance of BMX brakes:
Adjust the brake pads: Make sure the pads are correctly aligned within the brake caliper and that they are close to the rim but not touching it when the brake is not applied.
Tighten and lubricate the cable: Make sure the cable is properly tensioned. If the cable is too loose, the brake pads will not make good contact with the rim. Be sure to lubricate your brake cable to ensure the pull is smooth and linear.
Check the brake pads: Make sure the brake pads are in good condition. If they are worn out, they will not perform as well and may need to be replaced.
Clean the brake pads and rim: Clean the rim with a rag and some rubbing alcohol to remove any buildup of dirt or oil.
Check the rim: Make sure the rim is clean, true and free of any dents. If the rim is out of true or has dents, the brake pads will contact unevenly and that can cause poor braking performance.
Check the brake system for any loose or damaged parts and replace them if necessary
Some riders prefer to switch to different types of brake pads with different compounds, this can change the grip and power of the braking system, so you might want to experiment with different options (Softer/harder compounds) Typically a softer pad will increase braking performance.
BMX brakes are not universal, as different BMX bikes can use different brake systems. The two most common types of brakes used on BMX bikes are BMX rim brakes and BMX disc brakes. Rim brakes are the traditional type of brake, where the brake pads clamp down on the rim of the wheel to slow the bike. Disc brakes are a more recent development, where the brake pads clamp down on a rotor attached to the hub of the wheel.
There are several types of BMX rim brakes, including:
