Scraping sound from rear break on Specialized Globe.
What might I need to adjust on my rear break to fix the scraping sound when I apply pressure to the grip? There is no noise from either break when I'm riding, and the front break is silent when it is applied. Everything is clean; no gravel or grit between the break pads and tire rims. It sounds awful.

Assuming the brake pads are adjusted so that they're contacting the rim's brake surface as they should (and not hitting the tire, for instance), my advice is to replace your brake pads with some Kool Stop salmon pads. From my experience, they don't make grinding, grating, or scraping sounds, and most other pads do-
