I bought Paul brakes for my Atlantis and initially loved them. Now, however, they squawk like a stuck goose. I’ve cleaned the rims, sanded the pads but with no success. They were installed by a bike shop so I don’t think that’s the problem. It’s embarrassing to ride at times. I’m looking for su

Thanks for all of your thoughtful responses. I certainly believe that Paul brakes are excellent and worth the price. I guess that I was surprised that the price wasn’t for a full brake set. But that is me being out of touch with high quality components. Most likely I’m going to cancel the order
