I may have missed this before, but is there a reason you have not tried
the fork crown daruma?
Also, for those who have or are considering 650B Sam Hillbornes, the
fork crown dimensions must be different. I have a Nitto mini rack on my
52 and the bolt is long enough to fit a spacer on the front and a thick
washer on the back.

Cannot be sure since I am using V-brakes, but looks like there would be
room for the fork crown hanger and the L-bracket.

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

Second what he said, and go through the standards: Clean the rims with
alchohol, some even sand them lightly. If that does not do it try
lightly sanding or filing the pads to clean them as well. Next stop
is Pauls or V-Brakes. I went through this with my Cross-check, but
the judder was at all speeds, as set of mini-v brakes brought it
almost to a omplete stop, but I was so tired of fiddling with it I
sold the bike and bought the Rawland with discs. The stud slop is
only one weak link in the system, and I believe it helps to magnify
every other weak spot in the system.
The other possibility is that with the wide profile and High cable
they may be too powerful. Sounds hard to swallow, but I can make the
fork hop on the rawland with discs. Watch the front wheel closely
when you are doing this and see if it is spinning in a stop start kind
of a thing or locked up and hopping along like a pogo stick.

I find it strange that some SH owners have this issue while others
have not had an issue. My pads were installed flush, but they are
koolstop MTB pads with the the designed to provide tow-in

look into pad angle.
Pad angle will definitely cause that issue. I've had that happen with and
without accompanying squawking. The Kool Stops also tend to bite a newer rim
a lot better than most pads. New pads + New rims = shudder, IME.
I've never been able to run the KS pads flush. Always put a touch o' toe-in
on them.
I'd also just double-check that the housing endcap is not moving in the
hanger, and that there's no gap when the housing runs into the brake lever
itself.
I am using the max straddle cable height allowed by the stock cable
that came with the CR720's. I will try increasing the spring tension.
