Ron and Garth: My salmons -- all ancient -- worked quietly for years in all temperatures on the same rims; they only started squealing during the cold months of 2014 or so. They squealed when the rims were cleaned and they squealed when the rims were left alone -- loud, embarrassing, banshee shrieks under hard braking. Perhaps it's just age? I have no idea how many thousands of miles are on these 2 prs of pads.
And above 40*F these same pads on the same rims didn't squeal. All very odd. And they stop fine, noise or no noise -- I never considered them grabby. But the weatherpersons say it will approach 98 today, so I guess I can procrastinate for a while. Another question: how many miles do all y'all get from your front brake pads? Mine seem to be permanent, non-wearing, rather like a frame tube or seatpost. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
