Squeaky brakes....
 

My brakes have been squeaking ever since I've gotten my bike. I've checked the front pads, at least.... and they look almost brand new.

I still think they should've "broken in" by now, tho.... so is there anything I can do to stop the squealing?? I've used the brake goo stuff before on cars, that holds the thin plate / shim onto the pad. Is there a shim on these pads that might be causing them to squeal??

put some RTV silicon bitwin the pad and the caliper, work on cars to

Try a few aggressive stops or speed reductions in a safe area. That will sometimes cure noisy brakes. Not always but it is still good practice for hard braking.

There should be anti squeal shims on the pads. If they're missing, that may be the cause.front brakes.jpg
