I find them more prone to squeal than other pads too. They stop extremely well though. Cantis are prone to squeals.,That's their nature. A brake hole type hanger stopped a long battle against squeal and shudder on my Hillborne's front brake recently, now the rear has started honking like a dam goose. I think (hope) it's the usually high humidity forming moisture as the bike moves through the damp air. That or I just chased it to the rear. Even with all the fuss, I still prefer them to Vees. which IMO are way too sensitive, ie....all or nothing, no modulation. BEst, Clyde
