What rear pads fitted?

Are the hand brake shoes binding a fraction?

There ya go. Proof. Copper slip does not stop brake squeal. Ask TheBoy. He'll tell you the same. ;)

And ask Kai as well. Pads dripping in copper slip and squealing like a squadron of stuck pigs. Flying pig pun intended. ;)

Yep, and your all wrong!


Although I may concede it might make a slight difference of up to a week on very mild squeal cases.

There is absolutely no doubt it makes no difference to squeal on trade club pads. Proven. The end. You know it, I know it, accept it, move on! :)

You have copper slip on your pads, they squeak like buggery.
I have no copper slip on my pads, as it has no place on braking systems, and they don't squeal. Prosecution rests. ;D

Why do they squeal when braking in reverse though and not forward  ???
