Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

To quiet squealing brakes my first approach is to dress up the face of the pads with a fingernail emery board. That, by itself, works probably 75% of the time. My second shot is to give the pads a touch of toe in. That brings me up into the high 90's. The last increment requires a variety of tricks and the use of words that only bike mechanics are allowed to say.
