I don't want to take it to another shop and have to pay
Any ideas?
OK. Here's how it works. If you take something to a shop, pay to have it fixed and they fail to do it to your satisfaction, you call the shop, explain your position intelligently, and give 'em another crack at it. If they fail again, you get your $$ back.
Don't just eat it! As a shop owner the last thing I want is for someone not happy with my work to just disappear. I want/need to know about these things so I can make it right!
Anyway, non-machined rims need nice, clean pads, preferably the Kool Stop salmon colored pads. These work well and seem to do the trick when other pads are still screaming.
