John, I probably should've used different wording. Dilligent instead of "meticulous" is probably more appropriate. Meaning, I check to make sure my brake pads are toed in quite often, even if they are silent. Sometimes they won't squeal, but you can feel a slight chatter or vibration feel in the brakes on a long descent, and I find it good to check the toe-in when that happens. My method is the standard use of a coin between the rear end of the pads and the braking surface to set the toe-in. However, I find with quality pads like Kool Stop salmons, especially when paired with strong brakes like Pauls, I give the pads a bit more toe-in angle, so I use a nickels instead of say, a dime. Another thing I like to use regularly with machined sidewalls is a Mavic rim cleaning stone.
