I just finished putting together my next bike project.

V-Brakes with Tektro RL520 levers.

Anyway, no toeing of the pads. And headed down the driveway... Ohh, what a squeal.

But, I figured I'd at least have pedestrians diving out of my way on the bike paths.

However, 5 miles down the road (I'm not sure if I even hit the brakes after my driveway), and not a sound from the brakes again.

Well, so much for alerting the pedestrians around me. Perhaps I had to wear a sheen off of the brakes or something. Or, perhaps those tricolor pads actually did something
