I started with the Paul Touring canti's on my Hillborne. No squealing right out of the box and they stop very well. Can't say that about the Avids on my Soma.. always playing with the front. You should also consider IRD Cafam. Very similar to the Paul neo-retros at a lower price point... but not MUSA.
