Disc brake care

Yup, I cleaned my disc brakes the real way, so no more squeaking for me. Last time, I used a towel and water, which did the job I guess, but not what you're supposed to do. You're supposed use either denatured alcohol, which is better, or isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, which takes more to do the same amount of cleaning as denatured.

I also adjusted my pads, so no more rubbing, either. Disc brakes are a PITA. Sure, they're better at stopping in all conditions, but Cupertino's mainly dry anyway. Whatever. I'm just glad cyclocross bikes come with canti's :]
