Green Hombre Pads
« on: November 13, 2015, 02:24:12 AM »
Before I go through the list of possible fixes for squealing brakes are these pads known for persistent noise on chrome rims? It sounds like I'm going to bend my forks when I have to stop fast.

When the pads are new, they can make that noisy sound, specially on chrome rim.
You can first rub slightly the pads on sand paper to have them less smooth, but it's also all about the toe-in.
