My Quickbeam is (and has been since it arrived in 2009) quiet as a mouse, with Paul Neo-Retros on the front and Paul Touring Cantis on the rear. You can kinda sorta see the setups front and rear in this picture – better to blow it up to largest size for best view. https://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/4412267966/in/set-72157623567913352

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. The original Shimano brakes may have squealed the least. I have also tried Cane Creek cantis and currently have Avid shorty 6's on the bike. The current brakes may be the worst. I spoke with Rivendell and they feel the issue is brake related and not an issue with the fork. I took a look at the Quickbeams on the Cyclofiend site noticed that many had high profile cantis. Has anyone cured the squeal by going to high profile cantis? Any recomendations? Paul does not recommend their high profile cantis for road bikes so I have been looking at Cane Creek and Velo Orange brakes. Any thoughts on these? Any other options? Thanks.
