Brake squeal
Hi guys,
Just took my first ride with my new Mavic Ceramic front rim, and got a terrible brake squeal. I started with a normal toe-in (abt 2 mm), then tried increasing it even more. Squeal remained. Is there a break-in time for ceramic rims, should I use special brake pads, or am I missing something else? I'm quite certain that set-up is correct. (Brakes are Avids, and they worked fine on alloy rims) |

Avid makesgreen compound specially designed for ceramic rims if you have the style that accepts cartridges... and also there is a Kool Stop ceramic specific pad.
