Tech Question.............. New School Brake Squeal

<< < (4/5) > >>

griff:
I use clear pads on my haro, they work great with skyways but squeal like fook
Comes in quite handy though on the London rides as you don't need a horn to shift people out of the way  ;D

don't forget to 'toe' the pads in either,(front of the pad hits the rim first)..... otherwise all pads will squeel a little

Not on powdered rims though, they get too hot and melt the powder, locking your brakes on.

i speak from experience!!

Great on my ally wall rims though.

TwoBobRob:
Cheapo Clarks black blocks from Halfords are plenty good enough if your brake is set up properly and won't make that bastard noise. You can expect the brake to feel a little less sharp though, this goes for all pads that aren't clear - hence why clear pads came to be in the first place.
