So, since forever I've had squealing front brake problems with the shimano br550 cantis. The VO no-squeal pads worked for a while but they wore down remarkably fast.
So this weekend I decided to bite the bullet and I took out an old pair of mafac tandem cantis that I had from an old gitane tandem. After cursing at having to use a crescent wrench and lining up the pads, I took them out and found: 1. they stop better than the shimanos 2. they don't squeal. Here's my question - the paul neo-retros are based directly on the mafacs, can I expect similar excellence from them? b/c right now - the price of the paul's is NOTHING compared to the months of being annoyed at my squealing front brakes. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
