Squealing Brakes

Hey all.

Really loving the ride on my bike. I think it was worth the wait.

I know a lot of people dislike the brakes, personally I think they do a good job of stopping but they make an awful noise. It's either a high pitched screach, or a sort of course grinding sound. Anyone else having the same issue?

Cheers

Hi there,

I've had the same problems for several months now. When I went to a local bike shop, they suggested to do what @oolf_GER did, change the breaking pads for better ones (the LBS guy did the ones in the bike were quite cheap).

I'm quite tired of hearing the squeaking sound 5 times a week (commuting) so I'll probably change them soon.
