Have you tried changing the brake pads? How do the current ones look? Change the toe-in? Brake bolts are all snug?
What about the rims? Have you tried cleaning/degreasing them? Fork crown-mounted cable stop is a good suggestion. I just switched from Tektro CR720 to Shimano CX70 on my Hunqapillar (from high profile to low profile). I'd previously had some issues with brake squeal, but I haven't experienced brake with the CX70s. Good luck-- brake squeal can be a pain... shoji On Tuesday, May 13, 2014 10:13:24 PM UTC-4, LAP57 wrote: > > My Quickbeam is my most used bike but I have suffered with front brake > squeal since I bought it about 8 years ago.
