The stupid "angled tip and plow" on the leading edge of the brake pad is
positively uesless. I put them on the front expecting them to increase
power over my old ones. The result was mushy, weak braking, and lots of
squeal. I figured the plow only served to keep a large portion of the pad
away from the rim, so I ground only the plow portion off. Lo and behold, no
squeal and excellent brake power now. I wonder why they would implement
this marketing gimmick if it didn't help at all and actually created squeal.

Grind off the plow if you get these pads.

Can you post pictures of the modified pads?

P.S. How long until you graduate to full squidness?
