My rear V brakes broke so I had to install new ones today. Accomplishing that, I felt confident I could finally rid myself of the squeaking front breaks. AFter hours of trying I give up! I notice that the front tire appears to shudder slightly as I apply the breaks which may be causing the squeak, or I guess it could be a result of said breaking. What's interesting is that this seems to be a problem with the front breaks only for all of us. I also have Kool-Stop pads. This sucks!
