Squealing Avid Arch Rival front brake?
I recently got a front Avid Arch Rival V-brake installed, and it
squeals like crazy. The bike store toed it in, but it didn't seem to help. I know there's lots of info on the web about things to try for squealing brakes, but I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this exact make, model, and location..? Thanks! Ben |

Ben We have had so many problems with Avid brakes and have warrantied so many, we don't sell them anymore. Squealing is the problem and nothing you can do will fix it. Get a different brake. Tektro is a good choice. |

Squealing Avid Arch Rival front brake?
Yes, mine squealed like mad - so much so that I replaced the front one with
a cheap Shimano that didn't squeal nearly as much. The rear one never squealed as much. Nick "BC" wrote in message oups.com...

Ben Arch Rival pivots have all that linkage crap. Linkage = play = movement = noise = aggravation = scared pedestrians = guns = cops = jailtime = no job = bum = begging = lots of money. -- Phil, Squid-in-Training |
