weinemann dp 18s + brakes squeaking
These rims aren't machined for brakes, but I figured it couldn't be terrible for a rarely used commuter. They just squeak like crazy. Anybody had this issue in the past/have any advise?

I have these same rims, I believe, and they squeal like a pig. But my problem is I need to clean the braking service. Its pretty crusty.

Your cog is slipping.
What color are they? If they're anything other than silver they are painted, hence the excessive squealing. Once the paint wears off it won't be a problem.
