Hi Lynne, Sounds like you've done a good job going down the checklist, but here's what I'd do before building a new wheel. File the brake pads so that any little metal shards are out of the picture, then I'd give a bit of angle to the pads, so instead of looking like this | | when you look down at them, they'll look like this / \ but not as extreme. This will make it so the trailing edge of the pad (since the top of the tire is moving away from you) makes contact with the rim first, rather than the leading edge. That'll eliminate the hard edge of the pad as a possible reason at least. You can do this yourself with an adjustable wrench by bending the arms of the brake (assuming you have caliper brakes), but your LBS probably has the Park tool designed for this very thing. Hopefully that works! If not, we'll come up with a plan B.
