... From my experience there are two possible causes: One is that the brake arms aren't a good fit on the posts. I know this seems weird since manufacturers...
Steve, I have the same problem with my bikes, and it's absolutely, positively, a result of the noodley fork. I can use the same brakes, same set up, on a ...
compared to you i'm a newbie, but my reasoning is that it's caused not by fork material at all but by a momentary "disagreement" between the pad material and...
Yeah, I agree with Richie, I would also check the toe-in on the brake pads or try a different brand. Rich Foley ... __________________________________ Do you...

I have an Alpha Q that I used with Avid Shorty 6's and they howled. Different pads and varying levels of toe would only temporarily diminish the squeal....
Yes. I don't remember your bikes doing it when I rode them, and my Zanconatos with a straight, steel fork never did it the past 3 seasons, using the same ...
As I wrote previously, the only time I had this happen was on my mountain bike - rockshox SID with SRAM V-brakes. I haven't had this happen on either of my...
