Idle question, since we're talking disc brakes: Has anyone ever used the anti-squeal compounds provided with automotive disc pads (or available aftermarket) to silence the squeal? Since the design is essentially the same on bicycle discs, I would imagine that the cause and solution is the same as well.

For the record, if I owned a bike which couldn't lock up either wheel with one finger of force, I'd change the brakes instantly. I can do one-finger stoppies with the cantis on my Coda; the only reason I'm going disc is for bad weather. That, and I dropped $300 on the front wheel, and I'm darned if I'm just gonna wear it through with brake pads.
