I have a 56cm SH with 720 Tektros: with the Tektro forkcrown-mounted cable stop, no problems. Switched to a headset-mounted stop (to install Nitto front rack and fenders), squeal (but no shudder), regardless of toe-in settings with stock pads. Switched to VO squeal- free pads, no problems, regardless of toe-in position.
I highly recommend the forkcrown-mounted cable hanger, if your setup can accommodate it (if you have a Nitto mini front and a fender that mounts to the rack bolt with an L-bracket, adding the cable hanger doesn't work on my Sam because the Nitto bolt (integral to the rack) is just a bit too short. Without the fender, I could just make it work, but with the fender, no dice). See http://www.flickr.com/photos/25150...@n08/4426738206/ for the cable forkcrown-mounted hanger.
