brakes....

[BigRb247]

Oj i recently put new brake pads on the front cuz they were squeaky, and after i put the new ones on, still squeaking! YEs i did clean them and they didnt need cutting so i jsut took some emriy cloth and smoothed it,. But i jsut can't figure out why they are stll squeaking, any suggestions?

Take out the new pads and run a 45° bevel on the leading edge, about 1/8" deep. That will probably silence it. Other considerations are _all_ the fussy little clips, spacers, backings and tinfoil, and/or a good layer of Disk Brake Quiet or whatever a particular manufacturer calls their version. It's a layer of rubbery goop that goes on the backside of the pad to snuff out squealing.
