squeaky squeaky!!!!! make sure your calipers are pefectly adjusted so when you brake the pads cant judder otherwise your in for some ear bleeding, toeing them in a small amount helps too

my clear radshop pads work a treat - thought they were going to catch fire at the bottom of a massive hill last weekend but then I was going fast enough to overtake cars  ;D

they are squealing now but not bothered, can't comment on marking as they're black tuffs

Hi

I had this problem on two sets of Tuffs after cleaning them up, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned on here before but I remember doing it BITD with my Araya's. I run a small amount of swarfega around the rims and leave it on for a few minutes (you can also do this on the pads if you want) then obviously!! carefully clean it all off and then, hopefully you'll notice an improvement. The last time I tried it, the front went from literally not stopping at all to be able to endo quite nicely. I was going to pop it up on here as I thought others might want to try it as well. It's also worth checking (as mentioned in an earlier post) that the brakes are adjusted correctly with no play.

Good luck, if you do try it can you let me know how you get on and if it's positive i'll post it up on here.  :daumenhoch:

Thanks

Rich
