Post by: Jaymz on June 23, 2012, 05:34 PM: yeah there are loads that dont squeak, only draw back is they dont work!!!!!

Just kidding! Try toeing them in a bit, and checking every thing is aligned properly, sometimes the q
squeacking is actually vibrations caused by the pad moving back and forth on the rim
